Becoming self aware

I gotta tell you becoming aware of your own bs, insecurities and lack of skill/knowledge is a real blow to the gut. Kind of makes one feel pathetic. Above all becoming aware of how stubborn I am and unable or unwilling to see it when its practically staring me in the face. Its humbling but also makes you self doubt even more. A double edged sword.

I don't know what my goal is or even my purpose but I hope to discover it soon as improve. I learned the other day I was practically starving myself. God only knows how long I've been doing this. Maybe thats why I've felt less than a shadow of myself for so long.

32 years old and I'm discovering so much of what should be obvious. I really am a dimwit. But also learning how to forgive myself and not be so self judging, God thats like trying to teach a fish to fly.

Also learned that perhaps why or atleast its a variable in the equation of why I can never seem to be where i want in life. I dont take risks, like ever. Im so analytical and cautious it prevents me from doing something worthwhile. Well I'm going to start with something big. Im moving to Texas for a potential new life in the near future.

Been stuck in the same tiny town most of my life. Now if i can only find a damn working vehicle. I dont feel much better and this journey is creating more questions than answers but at this point what other choice do I have? Cant very well lay down my arms and give up the fight can I? Ive always taken the easy route.

I hope the rest of you are figuring it out too. I'm sure many of you are much further along than I am. Some of you probably stuck in a rut somewhere too. Im slowly becoming less judgemental and harsh as well. I can't understand myself and why I do what I do so how can I possibly understand you people?

it’s kind of a pleasure to see someone becoming self aware and attempting to realize their not so great traits to become better. I feel like you don’t see this sort of thing every day. kudos to you. good luck in your new adventure. keep trying to understand - I think it will guide you towards happiness and contentment.

@Akimbo75 just like many others i was too absorbed in the world. Social media, tv, games, sex, etc. Too many distractions, too much self gratification

The important thing is that you are aware now so you can change. You are not alone. I have nephews who just coasted through life They have no plans, no goals, no motivation and i asked them to think about when they become older. They are in their 30's now and has never paid taxes, never paid ito social security, just bums. Everyone is passing them by in life so i had to humiliate them to get them to realize that they needed to do more in life. Motivation for them was me telling them that there are children out there who are more stable, who are more responsible and who is living better lives than they are. It worked! They are working now! I told them, There is a 16 year old somewhere working a part time job who has a bank account and is saving up for a car, that child has more motivation than you and you are grown men! That kid will pass you by in life and you will be beneath them still stuck being a bum. It woke them up!

Situation awareness is a art ..where am I ,,what am I doing ,where am I heading are the question s. The bigger part being what's my plan to over come it and finally how to execute the plan....just jumping into the river to cross won't sail you through need to plan n execute

We all have loops we take some rides around until we realize or get fed up with it… staring at the exit and deciding to get off… it’s definitely jarring and leaves you feeling a bit out of sorts, like mental/emotional vertigo
