Struggle Zone & Self-Worth
Like when I got rejected after two different job interviews in a row, I doubted my self-worth, my capability, my knowledge, my skills, literally everything about myself. My confidence crashed, I felt lost, confused and questioned everything I thought I was.
Or like when someone blamed me for not doing what they think I am supposed to do according to social norm, I wondered if that made me a terrible person, what if I was wrong, and then criticized myself for what happened.
I usually don't realize I was in the struggle zone until I am out of it. A long the way, I learned to look at the situation as a spectator, not as a participant, to read and analyze what was going on, and interpret everything in a kinder way to myself. I reminded myself of who I am, what my values are, and why I did what I did.
The one very important take away, for me, from all these struggles is to never let anyone make you doubt yourself. If they do, walk away. That relationship is not for you.
