Diary of an introvert

Is it necessary to give importance to someone who doesn’t reciprocate your feelings and sentiments? Is it important to love someone unconditionally without even valuing your self-worth?

Do you love or like someone more than yourself? Are they more important to you than yourself? Do you feel that you are losing your self-worth that way? How often do you dote on your intimate ones?

Have you ever felt as though your loved ones or your soul mates have ignored you like? Do such fake people really deserve your unconditional love, care and compassion?

Trying to figure people out or prove anything to others is a futile exercise. The only person you have to prove anything is you. The idea is to stop over-thinking. A little extra effort can help.

For example, if we try to take things easily no matter how harshest the circumstances are, it can make us feel better. Being hard on oneself hardly does any good. This only creates obstacles, distractions and challenges for us. At some point in our life, we will realise that it’s time to stop and walk away and start dealing with the problems we face.

There was a time when I had lost myself to please others. Now, I’m losing everyone. Maybe I crossed the limits while trying to please others.

But the good thing is I have now realised that self-worth is what matters in my life. What I learnt from my life experience is that we cannot force someone to feel the same way as we feel for them. Trying to do this only invite more trouble for ourselves.

What is truly yours will eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be. So, it’s time to let all go.

I have realised that we should never sacrifice our self-worth, heart and dignity for others’ sake. The best gift we can give to ourselves is our own attention. When we give lot of importance to someone, we lose our importance.

It is okay to be an introvert or sardonic and it is okay to get lost in our own thought. We should try to be honest with ourselves to attain peace of mind. It’s okay to do things by yourself and for yourself; it only means how comfortable you are with yourself.

There’s nothing in this world that can trouble us as much as our own thoughts. Once we begin trusting our instincts and realising our worth, nothing can distract us. After all, it’s self-worth that matters the most.
