I've been wrong

This topic was created in the Sagittarius forum by Lunabee on Saturday, May 20, 2017 and has 11 replies.
I feel bad. Was called out. I tried to divert it to no avail. I feel bad because I subject myself to situations that benefit me in a dishonest way.

I feel like survival is always on my mind.



What's smart and what's wrong?

How about instead, you ask yourself what's healthy and harmonious?

Don't beat yourself up. Learn from it and move toward. Commit to not doing it again. Ask yourself why you have to be honest to benefit from that situation
I don't feel Worthy.
Sounds like you already know what's wrong.

But I feel there's nothing wrong with looking out for #1. Because in the end, nobody else will.

Yes. I know.

Now I'm sober this am.... ?


But there is a lot of truth to what I said and feel. Looking out for myself is smart but I feel guilty about it. I have this altruistic characteristic that clashes with my survival mode. If that makes sense.

It's like they never balance. One side is always taking from the other and I'm either getting fucked or I'm fucking someone else. I think my mentality about it all is what's wrong. I'm not looking at it right.

Why not go to the people you've wronged and apologize to them? It's the right thing to do.

She said no one got hurt.

So why not to say what happened and beating around the bushes? Just say it or don't make a post!

I'll say what's helped me find the balance.

I run more. I swim more. I go to the beach. I do what I enjoy more.

i focus more on things that make me feel good and less on things that don't like alcohol. It hurts me more than helps me so I limit it. like I can't go swimming Sunday morning because I drank sat night? it doesn't fit in with what drives,me and makes me happy.

Exactly!

This is exactly what I woke up feeling and did. Of course it worked, always does : )

I've struggled with drinking for a long time. It's easy to say, "I'll just stop starting now" but I've said that, lived it, feel back in it and then it creates disasters.

Currently, I feel bad/unworthy/you name it because I fight a lot with my roommate. (Her problems are her business but we are both guilty) she said I hurt those who love me most and give to people who treat me like shit. .... And she asked why. I told her I don't want to get too close to anyone and I don't know how to explain it. I am lonely but how can I be lonely and not want to be close to anyone? I think it comes down to WHO tries to get close to me, i only want certain people in my life and when I let, those people i don't want in my life, do nice things for me I feel horrid! Because I feel like I use them. I don't ask for anything but I'm given a lot.

Does any of this even make sense. ?

just from what I know about you you have a great running body and I know you have the drive and energy. just saying
3.4 miles this am ? but after I'm done.. then what lol. Book? Volunteer? Visit friends? I need constant goals. I need a personal life trainer with one hell of a virgo 6th house stellium haha.

Thanks, btw febs.

@lunabee do you enjoy competing? I know you like running. have you thought about joining a running club or competing in running events?

we all need an outlet and competing has helped me channel a few of my **things** into something that makes me happy plus challenges me.
Yes, met some random strangers out at dinner a few nights back. They invited me to come play soccer with them, but I lost their number because I wrote it on a napkin that's somewhere lol


That's a great idea actually. I'm going to look into that today.

It comes down to being honest with what I want and being able to tell people up front what I'm about. I'm getting better at it but it's easy to take the lazy route and not say anything at all - till it bottles up and I fall apart for a moment. I'm rather emotional. And doing the right thing (the "right" thing) is imperative to my well being.

I question myself a lot, my motives, my actions....i do understand. like sometimes I get so tightly wound that I feel only a mutable can help me to relax lol. (does this make sense!? smile

and ^^ of course I'm always wondering if I make sense which I think is just the ponderings of someone searching-for-balance (like moi). its constant though. sometimes I feel like a scientist always adding a little and taking some away then stepping back like -what do you think of this way- ?

Haha. Where the recipe to all of life's dilemmas? I guess we just live through it and use others as a sound board to validate our choices/beliefs/thoughts/actions/intentions..



I question myself all the time, too. Why do I do that? lol. Why do you? Where does it come from? Lack of validation? Maybe it's a dash of insecurity? Or perhaps it's something different altogether - maybe it's a sign that some people are constantly searching for betterment. The status quo never did suit me (from our talks I believe you would agree to my sediment)

One thing I remember that never failed me was my ex got to the point where he would look me in my eyes and say, "everything is okay." He'd repeat it. And it worked! He did it randomly and it was magical.
