Especially when left to myself and when I have to confront a problem that's new or that requires me to do some tasks that I am not great at

    @marathoner43 Місяць тому +7

    I quite often disagree with Courtney. But on this, she is correct. I grew up believing that perfection was not optional. If you aren't perfect, you aren't good enough. 2nd place is the 1st place failure, and there is NOTHING more disgusting than failure. I believed this would make me strive to be better in everything I did. All it did was burn me out trying to be something I could never achieve, and killed my confidence.
    Great example, in 2007 I ran my personal best marathon at 3:37:15. Did I celebrate the personal best? NO! Was I even a bit happy with it? Not really. I went home and said "Why wasn't it a 3:30? You didn't train hard enough. It would have been a 3:35 if you had remembered to take enough electrolytes and didn't have that hamstring cramp at mile 24."
    While it's great to look for ways to improve, don't let it stop you from appreciating what you did. Otherwise, you'll never be confident you can do what you set out to do.

    Important things: 0:39 First Thing _ Constant Self - Criticism; 2:49 Second Thing _ Avoiding Challenges; 4:10 Third Thing _ Neglecting Your Health & Self - Care; 6:31 Fourth Thing _ Procrastinating; 7:40 Fifth Thing _ The Comparison Game; 8:33 Sixth Thing _ Overthinking & Second Guessing; 9:21 Seventh Thing _ Relying On Other People For Validation; and 10:04 to summarize all the told here.
    What you have told for men, that can also be applied to women as well, Courtney.
    The only comparison with have to make to ourselves where we were, and where are we now. What I mean is that we see what we have achieved, and also what we have managed to do. Don't rely on social media to see how some other people live, cause they live their own life, and probably they also have issues of their own, just like we all do have, since we are all human beings. Also it would be wise that you don't judge people cause we all have inside ourselves we have internal wars that we fight and we try to make ourselves win that war. Not an easy task, but it is possible thing to solve. As for second thing (Avoiding Challenges), in psychology, it's called: Postponement.
    Additional things that can be also told here are these: Eight Thing _ Listening Whole Time People For Their Opinions (partly can be used for seventh thing), Ninth Thing _ Going Back Into The Past And Going Into The Future (partly can be also used in sixth thing); Tenth Thing _ Not Enjoying In Your Present Moments; and perhaps Eleventh Thing _ Judging Too Much About Everybody And Not Taking Action At All (partly can be used for the first thing).
    For the eight thing I can say that the people may say their opinion (the things they will say are good, or bad), but it's just their opinion, since they aren't aware of our situations that we're in. My point is don't take everything what they say for granted. At ninth thing I meant to say that you don't have to revisit things that you had in past, or that things that you will have in future. Learn from the past, don't be a prisoner of the past, and try that next time to avoid things in the future. As I mentioned the tenth thing, I meant to say that you have to calm your mind and your heart, and just simply go like this: Go with the flow. Mistakes we make, and it's not the first one or neither is the last one. But try to learn something from them, and avoid repeating them (it's not an easy task, but it is a possible thing).
    When I was listening to you Courtney, I remembered two quotes that I saw couple of years ago:
    1. Lao Tze once told this thing: "If you are depressed, then you are looking at the past (going back to past). And if you are in anxiety, then you are looking to the future (going into future)."
    2. This one goes like this: "Don't give up on your goals. You have no idea what an inspiration you are for others."
    3. This is a lat quote, which goes like this: Mens sana in corpore sano. Translation is: "In healthy body, healthy spirit."
    Thank you Courtney so much.

      Congrats, you fell prey to the shameless grifting they do. It's why they're called "influencers". She talks about how women love watches, mentions her husbands channel, and now look at you. Reality: Women don't give a shit about watches unless you suck so badly that you need "extras" to make you stand out.

      @@Swearengen1980 Bro. Women are humans too. Women can and do like anything they want as much as men do. Believe it or not, we are 99.9% the same (I'm not making this up). Also, I love learning about new things. I realized how much I didn't know. I love how great the engineering is behind the automatic watches. I love to dress well and I already have been wearing a Seiko that my uncle gave me when I was in high school. I look good with watches on. So, this just reignited my love for really good looking watches that make me look good and the engineering behind them. I love going to the malls now. Something more fun to do in my life I have now. I hope you find yours as well.
      As far as influence trend goes, I was never on Facebook or on Instagram. I haven't been influenced by anybody. I'm just learning from everyone. She did a great job in promoting her husband. He seems like a really hardworking, knowledgeable, and humble guy. Plus, seeing him and Kevin buying $300K worth of watches like they're nothing really inspires me. You call it "influence" because you've been stained by Instagram. I call it normal life learning and growth like how it's always been.
      So, let me live my life and you enjoy yours too! Not much time we have.

    You have great points, Courtney. As for challenges, one needs to start small and increase the level of those challenges. But one has to be realistic about it.

    Confidence is such an intricate tapestry, and this breakdown reveals just how much of it is woven by our daily choices. One thought to add: while breaking these destructive habits, it’s equally important to replace them with what I’d call ‘anchor habits’-simple rituals that ground you in self-respect. For instance, something as small as keeping a tidy space or sticking to a morning routine can act as a daily reminder that you value yourself.
    It’s fascinating how much power lies in seemingly small decisions. Building confidence isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about creating a life where you constantly tell yourself, ‘I matter, and my efforts matter.’ Over time, this quiet self-respect turns into the unshakable confidence we all admire.

    Thank you Courtney. All 7 were useful and at one point I suffered from all 7 habits. I've come a long way. The comfort zone and procrastinating have been my biggest two. Stepping boldly into the unknown and trying something new always energizes me and boosts my confidence. As far as procrastinating I focus on completing one task at a time. I notice completion is infectious. It spreads to other tasks. I'm proud of myself whenever I complete something I start. This whole video is some of the best constructive advice i've seen online.

      You missed the irony there didn't you? You're taking a "few years" to work on things like procrastination. 😂 Surely you know there are more bad therapists than good? If you haven't resolved your issues in a few years, something is wrong with the therapist, you, or both. Look at how much you pay the therapist, how often you go, and ask yourself if you're getting your money's worth. I died, painfully, and remember every second of it. I can still feel it on occasion. Panic attacks, PTSD, 15 years of alcoholism after it....even my F'd up self ended therapy at 3 years. It should not be taking you multiple years for negativity (to the degree that you can/will change).

  • @Razear
    @Razear Місяць тому +1

    I would say it's better to be self-critical than complacent or delusional. I think people gassing themselves up is a way bigger problem than having an ability to acknowledge one's own shortcomings. But yes, there's a fine line between nitpicking vs genuine critique.
    Most people's immediate reflex is to gravitate towards what's easiest because human beings are inherently lazy. We all want quick solutions to complex problems without having to do any of the legwork. It's part and parcel of our psychological orientation, unfortunately.
    Life is unpredictable at times, so you can't necessarily blame the person for neglecting themselves depending on their unique circumstances. There are moments where we're forced to sacrifice our routine to meet a deadline or to attend to an unexpected emergency. But I do agree in principle. However, I loathe the term "self-esteem." To me, this is just an undeserved ego boost.
    Procrastination is more so linked to the lack of discipline than it is to confidence. If you're unable to override your urge to stray from the task at hand, you aren't unconfident but undisciplined.
    Modernity has caused people to lose the ability to practice gratitude and to constantly compare themselves to others. Life has become so easy, and we live in such abundance that we're now fixating on other people's lives rather than focusing on building our own.
    We tend to overthink our decisions because of the paradox of choice. There's so many different options to choose from and so many different avenues we can take that we no longer feel satisfied about whether we made the right choice. It's actually more of a luxury than a problem.
    Man is a social animal. I would say don't invest solely in the opinions of others, but don't shut them out entirely either. We have an innate craving of acceptance by our peers because we evolved as tribal creatures. If you only rely on yourself to validate your accomplishments, that can also be a gateway to narcissism.

      Confidence is very key when it comes to women.

It’s amazing what some effort to change mentality can snowball into for positive changes in your life.

    That was a really great video Courtney, now to be completely honest with you I have all seven of these things I take Lithium carbonate and Sertraline everyday as I have bipolar and anxiety, I also really hate myself a lot and I have really bad Perfectionism and OCD too, I'm 37 on disability (nothing too serious) I'm just not as smart as normal people that's all, had a really bad seizure when I was three that almost killed me and it really missed me up (fried half my brain) and I had to learn to do everything all over again, I can't get a job because they said that if I were to make more then 20 dollars a month they would cut off my health insurance and I definitely don't want that to happen, I have no car but I know how to drive though, I've never had any friends, never been in a relationship, live with my family in a double wide trailer and I'm 37, I don't think things well ever get better Courtney but I love watching your videos so please do not stop making them and again this one was really good, anyway you have a wonderful day alright.

    Managing self-care can be a challenge in itself, especially when you have autism or other conditions with executive-functioning issues. For example, I find that even maintaining a level of exercise and activity that I routinely managed just a few years ago now gets compromised by battles with fatigue and time constraints. Which part of it is "self-care"? Is it the rest, or the activity?

    I struggle a lot with self doubt. I just feel I am never good enough. I always look at my faults which far outway the the good points. Many people also frequently reminds me of my past mishaps and faults. So I am not in a good space at the moment. No women would want someone like me anyway.

    I agree its a bad sign if a guy is putting himself down all the time. But a bit of self deprecating humor is a sign that he is not an ego maniac, and he accepts the fallout of his actions. Inflated egos always blame shift and will never make a joke about thier failures.
    Ladies, you should avoid men that are full of themselves. Women frequently mistake arrogance for confidence. Excessive confidence is actually a sign that he has few real skills and he's trying to hide it.

    Confidence is appreciated if you are Chad or Tyrone. There is a reason why 6 feet tall, wealthy men have their way with women. Now we can't all be 6 feet tall, but we can put forth the effort to make as much money as possible. This is what women truly want. It sounds harsh but it is true.

    I have a job, about to get my finance degree in a couple of months, train MMA every day, lift weights. None of this gives me confidence with women because it doesn't do anything. If you're average you have little to no options regardless of what you do. I got a lot going on but that doesn't mean women are goign to be physically attracted to me.

    Went through 3 decades of being told by just about everyone in my life to family to classmates to co-workers how horrible I was. (I'm painfully awkward and never get on the right foot with anyone.) So much so that I've long since given up. Nobody ever once laughed with me, they laughed AT me. I've long since given up on there being good people, certainly not in my city.
    Never bring someone you don't know into the group through humor, it just looks like you're bullying that person.

    Courtney. Your 7 deadly sins may be viewed as followed : That's confidence to me..., you're self aware and accepting, you know you're limitations and you don't sugar-coat your lack of abilities. These are your strengths, NOT WEAKNESSES. You are a confident person, why do you think otherwise?🤔 I can build from these facets, these aspects, enrich, enhance and evolve.
