Not A Self Help Blog
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).” ― Mark Twain
This is not a self-help blog; I dislike self-help or self-development blog. Instead, Theshitdetector is a blog about being yourself on a journey to discover who you are in a world that constantly confuses you. My stories are unique to me, and you are not me. I cannot guarantee that what I share will work for you, as I am not a psychologist nor do I claim to be one. Here's a disclaimer: everything I write reflects my personal experiences, the challenges I've faced, and the situations I've dealt with.
- While you may not have gone through the same experiences, you might find yourself in similar circumstances or situations:
- Feeling unheard.
- Experiencing feelings of inadequacy.
- Believing that what you do doesn't matter or won't make a difference.
- Desiring to impress others and caring about their opinions of you.
- Concerned about what people think of your work.
- Avoiding conflict to avoid upsetting others.
- Associating anger with being a bad person.
- Worrying excessively about past perceptions of you.
- Thinking that your biography determines your destiny.
- Being overly concerned about adhering to cultural traditions.
- Seeking permission before taking action.
- Trying to please coworkers or collaborators.
- Fearing failure or being afraid to take risks.
- Viewing failure as your worst nightmare.
- Seeing success after achieving it as your worst nightmare.
If you find yourself among these categories, then you might really need a sh*t detection wisdom. I don't claim I have all the answers for you, but: we'll try together. If you find yourself siding with the majority, it’s time to think and reflect.
