People who suffer from shame, suffer from secret stories.
They built up an internal story around the thing they’re ashamed of— and now, they live in fear from something that no one other than themselves gives a shit about.
Suffering thrives on YOU giving something importance– YOU giving it meaning.
Wanna know how to get rid of shame? REVEAL it. Admit it. Show it. Share it. The second you do and do so with a casual, “it is what it is” attitude, your mind will free you of the thing you fear.
Suffering, like shame, only thrives if we feed it.
Stop trying to change the meaning of things– instead, deem it meaningless by not paying attention to it.
Next time it comes up, just respond: “So?”
And it’ll fade away— allowing you to direct your attention to something that can build you rather than break.
