We still Love ourselves

We still Love ourselves- Grapevine

Sometimes it just feels like being an ass when you prioritize yourself over others and in order to get rid of that guilt you deliberately recall those incidents when you were nice to others and how they shattered your heart and walked over the broken pieces as if it meant nothing.

Why does self-love feel guilty at times?

Everyone uses a version of you
That fits their interest
Still acceptable

178 cm Brown skin 
Always left out
Gym Personality development sab try Kia
Khud k career development k liye roj ragda
Khud k health k care Kari
Par breaking aa gya hai

I eat alone in the office
POSH k dar se females se dur rehta hoon

Drawing Flute, in sabhi k clubs join kiye
I was well versed in them when I was a kid
To find someone
Par no girls in sight, even if they were
I was not even an option.

But still
I cannot come close to the ones who were gifted
I am invisible to girls
Kuch khaas jine k tamana nhi hai mere

Par Ek din k liye
Ek Sundar dikhne wala insaan Banna chahta hoon
Jise dosta gender romantically attractive Lage

Kya koi hai idhar jinke halat mere jaise ho

When You look ugly

I feel that when you open up to people about your traumas and insecurities, people are only going to use it against you in an arguement.

While you might argue that not everyone does that, and I would be the first one to agree to that. But you somehow stop trusting everyone, even your shadow , when your favorite people become your most bitter life lessons. 

The one who feels emotions always ends up suffering more. In the hindsight, it feels as if being a bare minimum "good human" is a curse. 

However,

I have been using grapevine to vent out and connect with strangers and so far I have only met supportive and empathetic human beings (most of them). 

Despite being covered in the sheild of anonymity, most people have only been respectful and kind. 

This proves that we, as humans , are only meant to love each other. Hatred is futile. Empathy is inherent while hatred is "cultivated".

I hope grapevine founders dont stumble across this post else theyll start charging premium fees when they realize how highly people speak of this platform lol

[Thread] What is your favourite thing about yourself?

I have been treating myself like shit lately.

I have 100s of people who root for me but my mind pin points my emotional bandwidth on the ones who only see the "incapable" or "unworthy" side of me. 

Whenever I think highly of myself, a tiny sinister voice creeps in and labels me as "arrogant" or "dellusional" or "overconfident".

PS: I am someone who was at times bullied in school for being too polite (people started to associate it with feminine energy, although now that I am an adult, I feel being softspoken has opened more doors for me than others). This did leave a scar on my self-esteem, given how pampered and protected I was as a child.

How can I stop underestimating myself?

We all love our family 
However, No family is perfect !

The least we can do is to ensure that we dont pass our generational trauma or debt to our kids as they dont deserve to be in the middle of that.

Dont Let The Family That You Come From, Affect The Family That Comes From You

If youre trying to love yourself,
Chances are,
You already do !

Because 
Where do you think the "Trying" comes from?

Efforts are the best testimonials.

 :)

To Whomsoever It May Concern

Is it true? Has anyone gone through this sort of emotion.

Self love fuels romantic love ❤️

If you hate your weekdays, change your job and if you hate your weekends, change your friends

Grapeviners, can you, with all honesty convince a non-believer like me into getting married and having children. If you do, my parents will send a million blessings your way. 

About me: 
- Female, 28
- mostly introverted, very selectively extroverted
- single and normally attractive
- Jinxed when it comes to relationships
- Financially independent, Net worth: 1 cr
- not bragging, but I'm decently intellectual and I can have smart conversations

My reason to resist marriage is: I'm scared it won't work out and will cause bigger problems than being single. Have seen too many unhappy marriages in family and friends. Dating scenes in recent times have only made things even more unimpressive.

Convince me to get married

Founder

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work in a slowing industry (Ed-Tech!) in a generalist role (Project Management!) for half a decade now! You'd think I would be better positioned to deal with life! Heck, NO! 

This crippling feeling of insecurity or job loss always puts an extra stress on day to day life. I couldn't take any risks in terms of a house or a car or a big EMI purchase in life! 

What if I get laid off? Will this generalist role help in landing anything next? Do I need an MBA for that? Switching to any specialized roles will take extensive preparation with time being in short supply with family and kids! 

Seem to have been strangled in the startup world. Any cure for this?

P.S : Sometimes thinking : Mommy sahi bolti thi. Govt job le leni chahiye thi. :D

How to get rid of layoff fear and feel secure?

MOM said this line to me, today again. 

There have been countless times, when I have heard this from throughout my childhood. And then, people ask me why you don't love your mom. 

I don't feel bad anymore as I have accepted this sentence for life. But it made me understand that, words like these can kill anyone's self confidence, moral and belief to stay alive. 

I am thankful to my mom, that she made me strong enough in my early days that when someone says anything harsh to me now, I don't give a fuck. 

Guys, always be wise to choose the words you speak to someone, even if you are in immense rage. 

I am using this platform to share this, because I can never tell this to anyone else. Even, I haven't told this to my girlfriend who has been with me for the past 4 years. 

SPREAD LOVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ❤

"Wish, I never had you"

I have been talking to this woman lately at work since the past 2 months (I KNOW dating at workplace isnt a great idea but pasand aagai kya karu) . Currently, we are mere workplace buddies and not in a relationship. 

On somedays she is like really friendly with me and starts talking about her life and I love listening to her. 

On certain days she is extremely unapproachable and feels like a stranger. 

I know mood swings hote etc but why would she ignore me completely on some days while try to engage in meaningful conversations on other days.

It keeps alternating and its very annoying. 

I feel like supporting her on bad days but she doesn lt want that it seems.

Yeh odd even kar kar ke mai thakk gaya hu
I just want her. Every single fckin day of my life. 
She makes my day a little more worthy every time we talk, and I feel when you find such people, you shouldnt let them go !

Mixed signals from my crush

Maybe because getting angry at someone is a way to avoid facing what's going on with yourself

Harsh reality of life. It has to go on, with or without you.
