@Leo Gura as a 18 year old girl,looks are very important. I remember not caring about it and being bullied neglected because of it .So as you told in the happiness spectrum video,not to chase after beauty. As in don't make it the sole purpose of our lives.? Is there something wrong with wanting to make ourselves look good to feel good about ourselves?Just for our own self

@Harikrishnan delhi.

Has those affirmations worked for you? Share your experience?

I wanted to work on authentic self stuff. I remember the times when I was this exactly this fully actualised authentic self when I was performing with assertiveness and higher counciousness.if I listen to the video again and again and visualize the times I was authentic say affirmations for assertiness will it work? Because now when I try to be my self I forget get lost.

I think the only difference when I felt like myself and didn't is when I didn't care what people thought of me. I didn't care if they liked or what my image looks like in front of them. Do you think if I work on that .I think the reason why I put myself into this box is because I want to belong because I care what will people will think If I stand out a lot.whether they hate me like me matters.thats the only reason I put myself into a box and started hiding. Like some guy said I was fat and ugly when I was little and when I grew up I thought I don't deserve to be in a relationship I'm not the pretty kind. That's because I cared what he thought of me right? I act different in front of some people because I care whether they think I'm cool or not.

When I felt like myself I remember I was concious and very receptive to new knowledge I loved to learn.think. is it what it is? Concious awareness who's always learning curious to know what's going around . When I wasn't being myself is bc *I have social anxiety* i was thinking about what people think of me. So I looked at Leo's video about not caring what people think of you. But then I started the this not me that is not me what am I how do I behave. So is myself pure concious awareness? Assertive about what I think at the moment and learning new ? Taking challenges?That's what I did in front of few of my teachers when I felt like authentic self
