the one that hit the hardest is that people dont care about you as much as you care about you. it sounds harsh, but its for all the anxieties and overthinking you may have. can't stop thinking about an awkward interaction you had? the other person probably already forgot about it

the best thing i’ve ever been told is “we repeat situations we get hurt in over and over again because we try to change the ending into something happy. but it doesn’t work. the cycle repeats” seriously it changed my life having someone put that into words.

Create your own happiness. Be your own light. It’s nice to have someone who ADDS to the pleasures of your life but don’t depend on it. Once they leave, they won’t disturb your peace because you were already happy.

Take notice of your own basic needs, like what does your body & mind need in order to be able to function ie sleep, food, freetime etc. If you dont have these covered it's no wonder if your mental state suffers.
