My issue with accepting praise and most importantly love in the past is that myself, people, and the world conditioned me to believe that I was undeserving of it. Whether it was behaviors in others on how they treated me or me running through negative thought loops, I eventually came to the conclusion I was worthless. This was perpetuated by internal circumstances as well whether is was mental illness or an incessant need to utilize substances to cope with my perceived inadequacies. Trauma certainly contributed to it. Today is different. I'm slowly relearning how to accept praise and love from others and more importantly myself. I try to remind myself how I would speak to an important friend of mine if they were being taunted by their own thoughts in the way I was or was undergoing the weighty trials by fire that the world consistently hurls.
@@Cade2k36 Thanks for sharing 💛🌱 Sounds like your relationship with yourself is on such a nice track. I wish you lots of fun on your adventures :3 I had a similar rule when I started journaling: “Don’t despair, and don’t be mean”. It certainly can be such a long process after years of gaslighting/conditioning can’t it? But man does it reward you with such a strength in character once you overcome it ☺️🤍 Happy for you.
What goes around... I am hesitant to give criticism to others usually, but quite hard on myself. I have noticed though, that I am much more *actively* kind to others, and readily provide that warmth when I am practicing a better internal dialogue inside my own mind. It goes both ways. Also, you are really beautiful both physically and in the presence of your personality and should feel confident about yourself!
@@basedstruggler3436 This is your sign to FROM TODAY be actively and objectively constructive where you deserve it within yourself. Challenge accepted? Also, thank you. I don’t really respond to compliments like that, but I will in this case because I want to illustrate that I still struggle to accept praise. People can say such lovely things again and again and I still cannot believe them yet. But I am grateful for them. And every day gets me closer to living in a world unclouded by the heavy toxic fog of self hatred. It’s clearing, but it takes time. Gotta keep it it. Have a wonderful day today 🤍 Thank you for your engagement with the topic, your efforts for yourself and others, and for supporting the video 🌱
it is no wonder we are told that those who condemn others will themselves be condemned, and those who forgive will themselves be forgiven. for those who wished to dispute Him could not answer for one in a thousand of their sins. AMEN
Everything contains within it good and bad. When we praise something and focus on the good in it, we're ignoring the bad (and that's just fine). When we criticize things and focus on the bad, we're ignoring the good (and that's fine too). Haters are gonna hate, obviously, but the hatred says more about the hater than it does about that which is being hated upon. It's just as easy to see the good in something and celebrate it as it is to see the bad and cut it to shit. Of course, which of these we see depends heavily on how we're doing on a personal level. It's noble of you to wish the best for the haters, as they're obviously going through the shit. We're allowed open our hearts to the goodness in everything. Love is the only antidote there is to Hate.
@@blakewentley Yeah I reckon balance is super important to strike in life. It’s quite surprising how many people can struggle with this isn’t it? I’ve recently also been journaling about balance in terms of time and activity. How many people do hours of procrastinating/doomscrolling and then force themselves to do hours of hard intensive work to balance it out? A big block of white and a big block of black. A more balanced, more interesting, and more consistently enjoyable life is enjoyed in a faster oscillation between the black and the white I believe. Currently guilty of this myself, and just woke up from a nap 😴, hahaha. Your comment gets me thinking about this concept in the context of what we accept in terms of seeing and perceiving this marbling idea of the yin and yang in positive and negative feedback. And positive and negative output. Very interesting, and I am glad for it. On another point, my sister once told me: “Hate isn’t the opposite of love, it’s indifference.” And I agree that the only antidote to hate, this fiery and negative obsession (the word obsession isn’t quite right, but you get me), is love. Love, a gentle and positive dwelling of the thoughts. Yes, dwelling of the thoughts is a better term than obsession. I hope I don’t confuse you by including my ongoing thought processes in this comment haha. But hate and love, being so closely linked, can maybe be both as easily mastered? Or love chosen more easily in favour of hate. I don’t know. A lot for me to think about. But the maternal love I have for others informs the maternal and empathetic love I have for the haters and creeps. Pitiful things. I hope they get better. The strong will, and the weak won’t. Thanks for thoughtful engagement with my content again. I wanted to thank you for it with an equally thoughtful engagement with your own ideas. Wishing you a fantastic day.
@@BeetheBardling Without the contrasts we face in our day to day life, we'd be completely desensitized to the goodness that is in everything, and constantly surrounds us. Some people prefer the big blocks of black just so they can experience the big blocks of white, but I'm right there with you doing my best to intermingle the two just to keep things on a more even keel. I'm glad you shared your sister's point about love and hate. For the past few years I've been operating under the principle that we have the choice to allow fear to govern our behavior, or if we so choose we can have love guide us instead. But then I read recently that love and fear aren't really opposites; they're on separate spectrums, love and hate being opposites, with fear and courage also being such. To which I respond, what is fear but aversion, and what is love but attraction? So I love your point that the antithesis of love is indifference. Love can be viewed as possessing a passion for something, while hate is similarly an emotion stemming from passion, the difference being that with love comes acceptance where hate is lacking this. I love your sister's comment because it shows me there are just so many ways to look at this, so many things to consider, and like you said, a lot for me to think about. It seems to me we're put on this earth to learn how to love every bit of it, the parts that are easy to love and the parts that are not so easy. The haters and creeps will find their way, even if they take the difficult route and have to learn to love it the hard way. I'm happy to thoughtfully engage with your content. Thank you for your content in the first place. Your authenticity, thoughtfulness and sincerity are positively refreshing, and everything this world needs. Keep doing what you're doing :D!
It's been fascinating in my own life to see how uncomfortable it gets when receiving a genuine compliment about something my own inner critic likes to beat me up about. There's this moment of cognitive dissonance between the story I've been telling myself and what other people are actually recognizing in me. That creates this moment of decision where I have the opportunity to choose which of these narratives I'm going to believe. The funny thing is, over time, I've found that it's easier to get those compliments when I'm being the most genuine version of myself. Weird and imperfect as I may be, if I'm truly being me, there's no lie for the inner critic to hold up and go "but what about ___?". I also see it in others, especially men, when I give a real compliment. At least from my own life experience, it seems we've grown quite accustomed to being told we're wrong, did something poorly, aren't trying hard enough, etc. Taking the time to notice, and intentionally give that genuine praise to someone can honestly make a difference, even if they don't believe it at first. All that said, thank you for making this video. I didn't know I needed it in my day today, but I did. Keep up the good work 😄
@@Takashiaramake wow, such great insights! I totally agree! I think not only does it become easier to accept praise when you’re being your authentic self, but everything gets a bit easier too. The self is really so key. I’m glad we are talking about this because men’s mental health is really important to me. I’m a guy’s gal, and all my bros are dudes. And it’s been wonderful to see men thinking about and openly discussing this topic in the comment section. We need more spaces like that. Thanks so much for your thoughtful engagement - have a good day 🌷
At this point in my life, many people in my life offer me praise and less are willing to criticize. Given that, I feel like it needs to be my role to harshly criticize myself to keep my ego in check and to keep me accountable for my mistakes and flaws. Nobody is going to know how much you suck more than yourself.
@@adamyooz that’s an interesting spot to be in, I suppose I can’t imagine what it’s like to not be criticised haha. I wonder what thinking on this topic over the next couple weeks will reveal to you 🤔 And I wonder which you are more prone to giving others - criticism, or praise? Cruelty or kindness? As different, not the same. Thanks for the perspective. Hope you’re not too harsh on yourself! Have a fantastic day 💐
Praise has always been hard for me to accept, too. I've often (half-jokingly) asked people to, "Now say something demeaning please" just so I can feel grounded again. But I'm trying to be more mindful of the self-deprecating voice and just thank people for their kind words. Speaking of which, thank you for chatting with us. You have a very kind and thoughtful air about you and I wish you all the best on your journey!
@@Caleb_Kirkland thanks for such thoughtful engagement with the video man. I really appreciate you sharing your experience because it’s… it’s a pretty special thing to relate to people right?

I think there's something magical about improvising or letting something happen on the spot the first time. Then when doing it again it might not hit the same as the original time it was played (or sung). Something about not thinking too hard tends to allow things to flow beautifully. on a side note, good to see you post again. I hope you learn to not be so hard on yourself. You're doing great by being here already. I believe in you. everything in this world runs on belief, so go easy on yourself and allow the notes and songs to come out. No need to critique them.
@@nicosanchez_music you’re so right dude. Just finished another song in the garden because I was J CHILLIN. And so right about belief too, an interestingly synchronicitous comment haha. Have a good one 🌸
I think i dish out a little bit of both praise and criticism. the criticism i give is proportional to how close my relationship is with that person. im more likely to give praise to strangers than to people im close with, which is weird. ideally i would recognise people's boundaries when it comes to lack of praise or too much criticsim then manage it from there.
@@BeetheBardling I remember getting complimented about smth I did for the first time, the guy said "your art looks like picasso" and I thought that was really nice
Hmm. quick to give praise or criticism. my gut reaction was neither. Though deeper down I know that to be untrue. In a work enviroment I it is mainly praise with criticism being soft and only targeted and job required things often followed with praise in another aspect. In personal life. I dont really have much of one socially. so when I do interact with people it's usually a first time so it's mainly praise as I briefly get to know them before we part ways. As I listened to you. I thought about how I dont actually praise myself at all. if I do something well or "perfectly" it is just how it was supposed to be or expected. anything else is soft or harsh self criticism. I have however worked on accepting praise from others. I used to and in some situations still do have a hard time accepting or believing it. I had a situation when I was younger and had finished some project work. a fellow student had sincerly praised the artisitc side to the work. instead of thanking them I criticized my own work but quickly stopped when I had seen I had negatively effected the other person with my own self talk and seemingly ignoring their words of praise. I have worked on it a lot and it has made me feel better to accept others genuine praise.

I like the way you think. See you around I guess :)
