With the world in the palm of your hand, why risk it all. For anyone with a God complex, trying to control the universe, or seeing themselves in the center of the universe, hallmarks, of common mental health issues, everyone knowing you, reading you, or being able to tell what’s going on inside your head, they can’t and neither can you, that’s bipolar. But in the end what is it that we want and need, what’s within our grasp, parts of us that we can accept and don’t have to let go of, what’s the upper limit to ideas and beliefs about life. What is for our own good.

When I think of what’s for our own good, I think of all the things that you can be told, that maybe don’t sound like yourself, or point out something that maybe you don’t see, such as the opinion held by someone else, other than you, trying to put your life and issues into perspective. It’s actually very helpful in a therapeutic setting, but for some reason not as helpful in social situations, it’s like hearing stuff you don’t want to hear, or hearing things said in a way that you already know and don’t need to be told. What is the problem with unsolicited advice, and how can we not let anyone affect us in a way, that we are not made to feel about ourselves, and be confident in our own skin.

Hearing Stuff You Don’t Want to Hear

“Hearing stuff you don’t want to hear” refers to the experience of involuntarily perceiving negative or upsetting information, whether it’s through direct communication, overhearing conversations, or even internal thoughts, often causing discomfort or distress as the listener is forced to confront unwanted truths or criticism.” [1]

Be a strong person, there are so many people there just like you and me who just want to feel apart of, understood, and be helped, so do your best to be of service to those who are in need of help. Maybe one day you’ll be going through something and need help from someone or someone to talk to, this is why its important to have strong social skills that you can have healthy conversations with others, without getting hurt, and get to open up and hear others open up too, that’s friendship.

You don’t need to know it all, just to stay centered. Some things you cant get out of, feeling cornered in life, exposed, helpless, powerless, and these are facets of life occurring when we give our power away to others, or when our power is taken away from us. So hold that world in the palm of your hand, take care of your vision and that crystal ball called your future, and don’t smash it all or let anyone smash it all and tell you you don’t deserve the world, or what life has to offer, most.
