Skepticism
There may be instances in my life where I doubt myself, whether it be about my perspective, behavior, physical appearance, or perceived lack of things that others seem to possess. While others may have praised me as outstanding, their compliments don't seem to provide me with a sense of fulfillment.
I struggle to accept the idea that I am already great and sufficient. Instead, I tend to compare myself to others and focus on what they have that I lack. Consequently, I'm often plagued by doubts that I already know the answers to, but I choose to ignore because I struggle to acknowledge their validity.
It has become increasingly difficult for me to get through a day without putting on a facade of a smile, while inwardly criticizing myself. Even though people tell me that I'm doing well, I find it hard to believe because whenever I look in the mirror, all I see is an insecure and unhappy person.
The worst part is that I can't seem to stop feeling this way.
