Some uncomfortable feelings appear in your mind not to punish you - they are nothing but a side effect of not closing your eyes to your shortcomings, empathizing with others, and not being prepared to say injustice.

It is wrong and simply unhealthy to ignore your mistakes, your weaknesses. To be ready not only to acknowledge that you have them but also to work to overcome them, you need considerable courage and strength - and if you do this, you are already a cut above most of those around you.

And if you experience any of the feelings described in this article, be aware that these are uncomfortable feelings that indicate that you are a very good person at heart:

1. You have "the syndrome of an impostor"

This means that you do not close your eyes to who you are and what is happening to you - neither for good nor for bad.

The truth is that many people around you share the same weaknesses and shortcomings as you, but not everyone thinks about these shortcomings or even acknowledges their existence.

The fact that you do this indicates that you look sober enough to see not an ideal being, but a person with all its advantages and disadvantages.

2. You are afraid of not liking it and you are afraid of rejection

This feeling says that you are very empathetic.

And also that you value relationships with other people and you are afraid to hurt them.

Sometimes, when you are very afraid to make fun of yourself, to be rejected, or to become isolated in a group, this is because you care about the feelings of others. Fear that your words, thoughts, and actions may hurt them.

3. You are constantly thinking about past mistakes

This means that, unlike many people, you can admit your mistakes.

Instead of dismissing them as nonsense, looking at them with prejudice, or justifying what you did, just because it seemed normal to you then, you are ready to look at your past through the lens of the present. You are hindered by the current understanding of the feelings that your actions could provoke, among other things, and what you could do wrong then.

This means that you are much stronger than you think.

4. It's hard for you to forgive yourself

Although the ability to forgive yourself is certainly crucial to your emotional health, the internal resistance to trying to "go the way" of your mistakes and stop blaming yourself for them may mean that you do not want to repeat them. And this indicates a strong core and inner integrity of the individual.

Of course, this does not mean that you have to chew and absorb all your mistakes, even the smallest ones, indefinitely. It just means that it is worthwhile to learn from them all the life lessons available and to make sure that these mistakes are not repeated.

When you forgive too easily for some actions, sometimes this may indicate that you did not learn this life lesson or did not take what happened seriously.

5. You are concerned that you will not accidentally or intentionally harm anyone

The fact that you are worried about how not to hurt others, even unintentionally, suggests that you are much kinder and more sympathetic than you think.

This fear does not always mean that you consider yourself a bad person - it can only mean that you realize that you are the most ordinary person. Like all people, you make mistakes and do not want anyone else to suffer because of fear and lack of foresight.

This is an incredibly high level of friendship and understanding of their essence. And believe me, not everyone is capable of that.

6. You are constantly working on self-improvement

This testifies not only to what you have to strive for, but also to the fact that you are susceptible to criticism, you want to get better, and you are ready to admit your mistakes.

Only a truly powerful person can put his ego aside to do all this.

7. You are concerned about the opinions of others

Although you hardly want the opinions of others to determine your whole life (because in this case, it will not be your life), you are ready to partially give up your interests to become part of the community. Which means you appreciate communication and relationships with others.

And, of course, you shouldn't take into account the feelings of people who know how to hate and take steps, but it's worth thinking about the feelings of your loved ones.

8. You cry often

This means that you are ready to accept your feelings and are not afraid to express them openly.

Each of us sometimes wants to cry, sprinkling our feelings, but most of us lead them inward for fear of appearing "weak" or because of our desire to confess to ourselves.

But in fact, the willingness to cry when you want does not indicate weakness, but strength.

9. You don't want to be a "bad guy"

The mere fact that you are generally worried about this already indicates that you are not a bad person.

How do you know that?

From here, things get trickier, and this is where the true evil comes from.

So don't criticize yourself too harshly… you are worthy of your confidence, don't forget this!
