Thank you for being transparent. I have battled envy, jealousy, and insecurity. I hate it. I turned to God to forgive me and to find my value in Jesus Christ my beloved Savior, Redeemer, and Deliverer. I know He came to set the captives free. My soul finds rest in Him.
This really spoke to me, I was feeling envy towards a lot of past friends and seeing their lives and where they’re going. Then looked at myself and really judged myself hard, looks, status, likes , followers, why am I not there or why haven’t I gotten that opportunity, why did they get to travel there. Awful, this really was what I needed to hear. I’ve been listening to it every morning the past 3 days.
I started to become aware of those same ugly feelings festering inside of my soul as I scrolled social media. I would search for comments that validated my critical views to validate my own insecurity. My hardened heart really became transparent to me when I noticed I was envious of the people I cared about. They would talk about their accomplishments or succeed in their path and rather than be supportive and joyful for them, I was bitter. This would lead down a cycle of me feeling bad for myself, but I never looked to Jesus to heal. Instead, I would recognize my insecurity and try to fight it by continuing to validate my self-worth based on what I did. I still kept coming up empty. Didn't have the will to see a lot of these validating actions through because they weren't guided by the holy spirit, they were fueled by my own self-hatred and feeling of not being enough. Thank you for sharing and fostering my desire to be closer to God through your story.
Growing up, I envied my cousin, one day; I read a Christian book about envy. It spoke about apologizing to them. I was so nervous, but I took a leap of faith and d told my cousin that I had been envious of her and asked for her forgiveness. As soon said those words, I felt something break and overjoy take over me. I felt so much unexplainable joy. My cousin on the other hand was shocked, while I felt free
This is so funny... God told me to ask my friend for forgiveness, I didn't really think THAT is how to deal with it bit I did it anyway. I saw your comment now and just had a wow moment. So thank you for sharing
Thissssssssss!! I so needed to see this today. I've been so disgusted with my envy spirit lately. I knew how terrible it was and I need God to help me remove it. I need to get back to him and ignore everything else
I’m grateful that God led you to share your testimony with us because I can surely relate. Envy and comparison have affected the women in my family for generations but more so my mother and I . I remember multiple instances where I was compared to my girl cousins about hair texture, complexion, shapes, ect. It eventually led into me comparing myself to any other girl near me. Still do this now and I’m over 30. God led me here to you because I’ve asked Him to help me see me the way he sees me. So thank you so much.
I can relate to EVERYTHING in this video!! For years I have sought validation and attention from the wrong people or for the wrong reasons. I’m still learning not envy others and compare my life to theirs. I haven’t had the best relationship with God due to trauma I endured while going to church as a kid. I hope to get on the right path with God. Thank you!!
"... competing was so, so bad for my spirit ... " "... I needed to step away, just soak in life, try to learn, try to grow and try to heal ... " that hit something in me 😓. Thank you Courtney! I needed this.
I love those braids on you, so beautiful. We all struggle with it; social medial makes us compare rather than being content. Thanks for being transparent❤️❤️❤️
12:07 - 14:10that alone speaks to me!! Thank you for this video! I've been struggling with envy with how beautiful and clean homes are kept by women and their kids on social media. As I struggle with mine. And envy is creeping in.
Girl, god showed me that i had envy, jealous, and self seeking. I busted out crying because i was like Lord all this time i thought people don't like me when in reality im envious of people. Watching this i all of a sudden was envy of you and dont even know you. Like i need God to show me my identity. To love myself.
I never knew that I was being like it this for my whole life, I thought envy was about taking something from other people because he/she is jealous that he/she doesn't have it. It had a much more deeper meaning, thank you so much, the Holy Spirit was warning me about something and now I know, thank you so much once again
thank you thank you thank you! i’ve grown so comfortable in my sin i’m used to tearing other christian girls down because they’re getting something i think i deserve. i want to be set free! may God bless you!
Hello. I'm glad i found this cause i need this so bad. I have a friend who just got her boyfriend, when i first heard about this, itold her i was happy about her and wished her well. But after some time, i ind of feel sorry fo myself. You see, i'm 34 and still single and believe me, people around me are quite harsh in making comments about this. I am usually being made fun of, or being bullied about being single at my age and sometimes their comments hurt though i try to hide it with a joke or laugh, it can get inside of you. It's not that i want my friend to be miserable, i really want her to be happy cause she's been so depressed for so long. It's just that i am starting to feel sorry for myself. I try to fight this by counting my blessings, cause definitely, having a boyfriend isnt the only thing you have to be grateful for in this life. But sometimes you just need an extra push to get you going and i'm glad i found this. Thank you.
Loneliness is both my best friend and my worst enemy as well (I'm 26 and still single) and there have been times where I asked God why I can't just be happy like everyone around me. But in the end the thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that this life is not what we were made for. We were created for an eternity, and this life is just the "anteroom" in which we decide which door we want to go through. 70 or 80 years on this Earth are irrelevant in the context of eternity, and if we have to spend them in misery - so what? I think there is also a practical reason for why God doesn't allow me a relationship. I'm someone who wants to give his all and everything to the one I love, and I guess that person could compete with my love for God to some extend. So, by not permitting me to have a girlfriend God in some sense prevents me from going astray. With Jesus we have everything we _really_ need, and we should be content with that even though it is not always easy to accept.
Thank you for your transparency. I struggled with this most of my life. I think it’s funny because I’m a light skinned black woman and feel jealousy of women who are your color or darker. ❤ your beautiful! We all are.
Yes, it feels bad when someone envy you or is jealous of you. I'm going through that because people don't realize what we went through and what sacrifices we had to do for the kingdom of God. Instead of people being happy for you, they envy you, and it hurts. I learned that when we are envious or jealous of others and we speak badly towards them, we are planting a seed in their lives until it manifest. God's word says our words have power and we speak death or life with it and we have to be careful what we say about others when we are angry because it's like witchcraft when we speak into someone's lives and they don't know it. We have to speak life and rebuke that spirit so we don't plant words of negativity in someone's life. The devil was once an angel but became the devil because he was envious and jealous of God because He was God and is God. Jesus Christ sacrifices and gives His life for us on the cross, and that was painful but someone people don't see that 😢❤
I came looking for help and you have provided. Thank you for the honesty and sharing your story. You are absolutely beautiful and inspirational and no one compares to you!
I have felt this too. I’m a woman btw, this is my husbands UA-cam account. Before coming to Christ I realized that social media was a big part of that. I had let go of all my accounts completely (Facebook, instagram, etc) and now I feel so free. I no longer compare myself to other women, fitness models, travel bloggers, artists, or even friends and family members. I began asking myself: Why in the world does it seem necessary in today’s world to view 79 pictures of a person ? Why do we need to see everywhere a person or couple travels to? Why do we need to see peoples body on a phone screen? Why do we need to see the outfits people wore on Christmas or Thanksgiving or New Years Eve? Many times we just do things because everyone does it and it becomes the thing to do. But I think we really need to ask ourselves if those things edify us. If they bring that much value to our lives. If it causes us to compare ourselves, feel insecure or less than and covet other peoples lives, bodies and experiences. Now I focus on living my life the way God wants me to live it. I work on myself and don’t compare myself to anyone. The only social media platform I use is UA-cam. I’m always edifying myself listening to amazing men and women of God that teach me sooo much. I highly recommend letting go of social media entirely and if family or friends are comparing you or causing you to compare yourself to them or others, pray about it and talk to them about not making those comments anymore. We should be free from constant comparison and envy.
Thank you for this i just deleted some of my social media accounts it has been affecting me as well as a person from church I realise that i need to get closer to God and spend more time building my marriage and other parts of my life instead of looking at others
😢 I need to spend time off TikTok because I’m comparing my stuff to other people’s stuff they post and why they are doing better etc… the anxiety is crippling my soul thank you 🙏🏾
Can relate to this video a lot i compared myself a lot whether it was from family or friends I felt like I was not talented enough or I felt like I was missing out. My life wasn’t as exciting as others were that’s why I try to take breaks away from social media because of my mental health. glad you made this video appreciate you 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
You know the devil tends to rob us from God's blessings and make us feel God isn't working for you😅 Truthfully, Jealousy is a natural feeling because it's an emotion. But, you know what is evil? It is not being able to control the thought and linger in it. She talked about asking why it was the other person and not you! If you have had this thought, I want you to know today that God created the one winning and you too in His image, He created you and said you are good! The same way He created that sister, that brother, that friend, that neighbor e.t.c and said they were good. So beloved, when someone close to you is prospering, just know that God is in your hood too😊
Yikes. I'm struggling with envy...My friends have it all. They get to travel to European countries during the summer. I've never traveled outside the USA before. One of my besties is going to Italy and Turkey in two weeks. It's going to be hard to support her "trip success" while she's away. I don't think I can even look at her Instagram
@Ms Shepard. I have a problem with envy and jealousy. I look at u and I would never have thought that u would be jealous of anyone. You are very pretty. I get envious bcuz I haven't found my career path. The career that I tried to obtain has eluded me and other ppl that I know have the career that I wanted. Dk y it didn't work out for me. I am up in age with health issues as well. Sometimes I feel jealous of those ppl and wonder why them and not me. Thank you for listening.
I'm currently struggling REALLY bad with this and with my best friend. Unfortunately mine has taken a turn for the worse and I'm growing to resent her. The worst part is I dont know whether its envy or truth that's telling me to end the friendship because I've realized a lot of things about her now (compared to where we were years before). I've always felt like this though since growing up my father was always comparing me to my other siblings. I know this isnt an excuse and I can't shake this on my own. I keep praying about this and hoping God allows a change of heart in me or if anything to help guide me in a way where I can face it and overcome it.
I am a bit through with people comparing themselves to me...for better or worse, comparison is a pathetic, devilish spirit that needs to go and be bound to hell, binding to hell one to compare oneself with another in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquintances, opponents and the body of Christ while I repent for times I compared myself with another concerning accomplishments, wealth, health or beauty, binding to hell being unequally yoked with and having any common share with those comparing oneself to others and especially to me, in accordance with 1 corinthians 4:7, 2 corinthians 6:14-18! In the name and by the blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
I know Christ. I have a calling for my life. I keep getting jealous because someone else is also doing it and seems more qualified than me. All I want to do is my calling and I’m not there yet and it eats me so much that I keep getting sad over it cause it seems like I’m wasting time or i’m just not good enough.
I don’t hate the other person that person inspires me, but I get jealous of that person. I don’t speak bad of that person but I end up turning it into self hatred and speak bad about myself and end my crying and feeling depressed. I want to know how stop doing this.
God wants us to be thankful for what we have. Not complain of what we don’t have. Complaining is telling God his plan isn’t good enough. What you have isn’t good enough.
I always wanted to be a professional classical musician. My narcissistic mother never allowed me to study music at the conservatorie. It has always been my dream. My narcissistic mother forced me to study Tourism and now I'm stuck in a career path that I hate and I will be stuck in this career path for the next 37 years. I never wanted to study Tourism but I was forced to. I don't want to be a receptionist I want to be a professional classical musician. I was great at music with wonderful grades: outstandings and honoural mentions. Now I'm 30 years old and of course now it's too late to have it as a profession. I see all the people who made it in the music industry with envy, jealousy and sadness. I'm happy for them. I'm sad for myself. The best case scenario is a job that I hate and what I wish was my profession as a hobby. Yes, I'm jealous of them. And angry at my parents because they never supported me studying music and they forced me to study something I hated. A job that I hate and what I wish I could have been as a hobby. I wake up crying and I even picked up smoking again.
I have a few christian friends.. But i can feel the energy snd spirits of jealous. I do rebuke it and it goes away.. But maybe some of women.. Are really struggling. I prayed for this particular women. This is common things.. When you are baby christian or just came back to Lord.. Some Christian women will be nice... In thr Begin but... When I spent time with Lord.. And grown with Lord, quickly then all the suddenly. They become cold.. Thsat is def sign of some Jealous spirits. Gotta keep praying but.. Also stay away and not hanging out with the person who has the spirits and treated wrong by them..
QUESTION ( If you could offer any insights, I'd really appreciate it ) When do you know you're healthy enough to get back into something you had to step away from?
This question lacks a lot of context but I would evaluate what made you step away. Has that changed? Was it you that needed changing? What did you need to change & can you see/feel a tangible difference. Last but certainly not least what is the Holy Spirit telling you? We all have the powerful gift of discernment. We often know the answers to our questions like this.
Ii god is jeolous it is obvious that there is other god that its power is more than his power, A powerful and a creator god by all means is not to be expected to be jeokous because jelousy is a sign of envy and weakness.
No one can be content having nothing tho but it happens when u have loss of identity not knowing what ypu wanted to be or what you were good at. Being hurt by family and friends that would look down om you and say you were worthless them being evil peoplle and prospering and u in the same place for years. All have friends, family, kids, marriages, degrees, a life, a house, ministry everything but u and no matter how hard u evwn try to be good and deby the fact u even had a bit of jwlousy and wanting to show like u said as a fevenge of all the rejection and pain from it wanting to be doing good not needing them or anyone but instead i ended up needing everyone never prospering just under the shadows ans humbling prpcess BIG PILL to swallow when i demonized envy and jellsuy and think how awful someone to be that way cause i always thought peoole were jelous of me and sometimes confused of if they jelous of me or me jelous of them. And confused and always trying to be humble but instead insecure and depriving myself from being or doing anything i love cause of the fear of being prideful or greedy and avoiding making other jelous or looking at everhone else cahse i not sure maybe i have been jelous and worried cause jelousy means i could be a jezebel narcisist and i dont wanna acceot that at all and i have its embarrassing and disgusting and nasty and painful to acceot what an awful pwrosn i can be for something like this.... i domt want to be jelous or prideful its so ajtomatic... i have wanted everything not having nothing like the bible says wanting everhthing and never getting anything ... and cant have anyone in my life cause they will despise me and i dont know the dofference between esteeming my brothers and sis above than me instead of being jelous cause jelous is almost the same.... being false accused for pride and not being sure qhen is it pride when is ir not and so on.... i cant tell when i sin and always worried cause peoole always judging me cause of my behaviours its hard to tell when or what i do sometiems its so confusing and hurtful cause of all the rebuking with out clear instructions or clearer on the issues i could be doing and why its wrong .... this aint something i ever shared or looked in to til now cause it was denial too sgrong to accept this
Thank you for being transparent. I have battled envy, jealousy, and insecurity. I hate it. I turned to God to forgive me and to find my value in Jesus Christ my beloved Savior, Redeemer, and Deliverer. I know He came to set the captives free. My soul finds rest in Him.
Me too 😩
This really spoke to me, I was feeling envy towards a lot of past friends and seeing their lives and where they’re going.

Awful, this really was what I needed to hear. I’ve been listening to it every morning the past 3 days.

I still kept coming up empty. Didn't have the will to see a lot of these validating actions through because they weren't guided by the holy spirit, they were fueled by my own self-hatred and feeling of not being enough.
Thank you for sharing and fostering my desire to be closer to God through your story.
This was so good for me today! I was searching for a word to help me with a jealous spirit trying to attack me and this truly blessed me! Thank you!

Thank you Courtney! I needed this.
Yesss...Envy, Malice & Pride should never be in our heart.. They will corrupt our heart.. TFS
This was definitely a word thanks for being transparent on the not so popular topic that people don't like to openly admit to!:)
I love those braids on you, so beautiful.
We all struggle with it; social medial makes us compare rather than being content.
Thanks for being transparent❤️❤️❤️
Many people do. But many just don’t admit it or judge others who do. Love your transparency. ♥️♥️ thank you, beauty.
Ugh. This spoke to me. I’m currently dealing with envy with another couples marriage. Why compare my gift to theirs?! This was so helpful.
Thank you 💓 this is a breath of fresh air ... Like a tree planted by rivers of living water
Courtney, I’m so glad I’ve found you! Thank you for being obedient and transparent. You are such a light.

I get it being 58 and never been married and this was something I prayed for. I resent God more for this than my friends or other contacts.
Looool! Love the way you broke down Saul's story 😳. Unfortunately, I can relate 🙈

Watch out now! I just saw your a nurse too! New subbie! I’m so glad your here!
Thank you, sister, for sharing your testimony in this area. I needed to hear it. I'm encouraged. Thank you. 🌻
BEAUTIFUL ! 👌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼 So proud of how transparent you've been sister ! 😊 Your testimony has encouraged me so much , GOD BLESS YOU ! ♥️😊

Amen ! Love this video ❤
Going through this rn, thank you for being so open. Nice to hear it from someone who’s been through it.
Shalom!
I truly appreciate your honesty sweetie.
This a topic that many people are afraid to talk about but so many struggle with it.
Thank you for this! I will be showing this to my Youth Group for some encouragement!
Oh I love that!
Courtney, thank you. God directed me to you so I can deal with envy and jealousy that want to consume me. God bless you.

I had let go of all my accounts completely (Facebook, instagram, etc) and now I feel so free.

Why do we need to see peoples body on a phone screen?

Mine is watsapp status 😢, hope I can get over it fast
thank you for sharing! "as if God needed me to give Him a platform" - that's an awesome quote
Thank you for your wisdom. It goes a long way. I needed to hear it.
I Understand What You Coming From I Being There When It Comes To Being Envy And Comparison
Thanks for being so open with a hard topic to talk about, loved this! You have a new subscriber 🫶
Aww thank you so much for watching! Welcome 🤗
Thank you;you have really spoken to me.

God bless you.
Wanting this thing versus after gods heart
Can relate to this video a lot i compared myself a lot whether it was from family or friends I felt like I was not talented enough or I felt like I was missing out. My life wasn’t as exciting as others were that’s why I try to take breaks away from social media because of my mental health. glad you made this video appreciate you 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
Great Video! Thank you for sharing your amazing Journey and breaking down biblical scriptures. You are a blessing and your Amazing.
Thank you so much for your honesty, your transparency.
Yessss! Super helpful. Beware of Secret Envy!
Thank you beautiful❤ God speaking through you.
You know the devil tends to rob us from God's blessings and make us feel God isn't working for you😅
Truthfully, Jealousy is a natural feeling because it's an emotion. But, you know what is evil? It is not being able to control the thought and linger in it.
She talked about asking why it was the other person and not you! If you have had this thought, I want you to know today that God created the one winning and you too in His image, He created you and said you are good! The same way He created that sister, that brother, that friend, that neighbor e.t.c and said they were good.
So beloved, when someone close to you is prospering, just know that God is in your hood too😊

I appreciate your honesty, sis 🙏🏾 this is so relatable but better yet transformative information. Sending you love 💜💜💜
@Ms Shepard. I have a problem with envy and jealousy. I look at u and I would never have thought that u would be jealous of anyone. You are very pretty. I get envious bcuz I haven't found my career path. The career that I tried to obtain has eluded me and other ppl that I know have the career that I wanted. Dk y it didn't work out for me. I am up in age with health issues as well. Sometimes I feel jealous of those ppl and wonder why them and not me. Thank you for listening.
Si blessed by this!
God bless you!! Great message!
This message was a blessing to me thank you!
I battle with this as well and I hate it!!!! Ugh
Me too
I'm currently struggling REALLY bad with this and with my best friend. Unfortunately mine has taken a turn for the worse and I'm growing to resent her. The worst part is I dont know whether its envy or truth that's telling me to end the friendship because I've realized a lot of things about her now (compared to where we were years before). I've always felt like this though since growing up my father was always comparing me to my other siblings. I know this isnt an excuse and I can't shake this on my own. I keep praying about this and hoping God allows a change of heart in me or if anything to help guide me in a way where I can face it and overcome it.
This is so humble of you to share and very helpful, thank you so much🤍
I am a bit through with people comparing themselves to me...for better or worse, comparison is a pathetic, devilish spirit that needs to go and be bound to hell, binding to hell one to compare oneself with another in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquintances, opponents and the body of Christ while I repent for times I compared myself with another concerning accomplishments, wealth, health or beauty, binding to hell being unequally yoked with and having any common share with those comparing oneself to others and especially to me, in accordance with 1 corinthians 4:7, 2 corinthians 6:14-18! In the name and by the blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
I agree. I dont struggle with feeling it towards others but more so the pain and betrayal of dealing with it from others.
Amen! I’m over the constant comparison of others trying to trap you into a comparison game of thrones. Comparison is truly from the evil one.
I know Christ. I have a calling for my life. I keep getting jealous because someone else is also doing it and seems more qualified than me. All I want to do is my calling and I’m not there yet and it eats me so much that I keep getting sad over it cause it seems like I’m wasting time or i’m just not good enough.
I don’t hate the other person that person inspires me, but I get jealous of that person. I don’t speak bad of that person but I end up turning it into self hatred and speak bad about myself and end my crying and feeling depressed. I want to know how stop doing this.
you just helped me so much. Thank you.
Thanks for being real
God wants us to be thankful for what we have. Not complain of what we don’t have. Complaining is telling God his plan isn’t good enough. What you have isn’t good enough.
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO
I needed this. Thank you❤️❤️
I always wanted to be a professional classical musician. My narcissistic mother never allowed me to study music at the conservatorie. It has always been my dream. My narcissistic mother forced me to study Tourism and now I'm stuck in a career path that I hate and I will be stuck in this career path for the next 37 years. I never wanted to study Tourism but I was forced to. I don't want to be a receptionist I want to be a professional classical musician. I was great at music with wonderful grades: outstandings and honoural mentions. Now I'm 30 years old and of course now it's too late to have it as a profession. I see all the people who made it in the music industry with envy, jealousy and sadness. I'm happy for them. I'm sad for myself.
The best case scenario is a job that I hate and what I wish was my profession as a hobby.
Yes, I'm jealous of them. And angry at my parents because they never supported me studying music and they forced me to study something I hated.
A job that I hate and what I wish I could have been as a hobby.
I wake up crying and I even picked up smoking again.
I had braces and glasses too. And I too couldn’t appreciate the glow up! Lol I talk about similar topics on my channel:)

Im dealing with this toward the idea of polygamy 😔
I wish I could find a woman like you, praise the Lord Jesus Christ
I have a few christian friends.. But i can feel the energy snd spirits of jealous. I do rebuke it and it goes away.. But maybe some of women.. Are really struggling. I prayed for this particular women. This is common things.. When you are baby christian or just came back to Lord.. Some Christian women will be nice... In thr Begin but... When I spent time with Lord.. And grown with Lord, quickly then all the suddenly. They become cold.. Thsat is def sign of some Jealous spirits. Gotta keep praying but.. Also stay away and not hanging out with the person who has the spirits and treated wrong by them..
Amen!!
QUESTION ( If you could offer any insights, I'd really appreciate it )
When do you know you're healthy enough to get back into something you had to step away from?
This question lacks a lot of context but I would evaluate what made you step away. Has that changed? Was it you that needed changing? What did you need to change & can you see/feel a tangible difference. Last but certainly not least what is the Holy Spirit telling you? We all have the powerful gift of discernment. We often know the answers to our questions like this.
@@ByTheShepards Thank you for this! Super helpful.
Ii god is jeolous it is obvious that there is other god that its power is more than his power, A powerful and a creator god by all means is not to be expected to be jeokous because jelousy is a sign of envy and weakness.
No one can be content having nothing tho but it happens when u have loss of identity not knowing what ypu wanted to be or what you were good at. Being hurt by family and friends that would look down om you and say you were worthless them being evil peoplle and prospering and u in the same place for years. All have friends, family, kids, marriages, degrees, a life, a house, ministry everything but u and no matter how hard u evwn try to be good and deby the fact u even had a bit of jwlousy and wanting to show like u said as a fevenge of all the rejection and pain from it wanting to be doing good not needing them or anyone but instead i ended up needing everyone never prospering just under the shadows ans humbling prpcess BIG PILL to swallow when i demonized envy and jellsuy and think how awful someone to be that way cause i always thought peoole were jelous of me and sometimes confused of if they jelous of me or me jelous of them. And confused and always trying to be humble but instead insecure and depriving myself from being or doing anything i love cause of the fear of being prideful or greedy and avoiding making other jelous or looking at everhone else cahse i not sure maybe i have been jelous and worried cause jelousy means i could be a jezebel narcisist and i dont wanna acceot that at all and i have its embarrassing and disgusting and nasty and painful to acceot what an awful pwrosn i can be for something like this.... i domt want to be jelous or prideful its so ajtomatic... i have wanted everything not having nothing like the bible says wanting everhthing and never getting anything ... and cant have anyone in my life cause they will despise me and i dont know the dofference between esteeming my brothers and sis above than me instead of being jelous cause jelous is almost the same.... being false accused for pride and not being sure qhen is it pride when is ir not and so on.... i cant tell when i sin and always worried cause peoole always judging me cause of my behaviours its hard to tell when or what i do sometiems its so confusing and hurtful cause of all the rebuking with out clear instructions or clearer on the issues i could be doing and why its wrong .... this aint something i ever shared or looked in to til now cause it was denial too sgrong to accept this
