I'm obsessed with being liked to a pathological degree. I start having suicidal thoughts if someone gives me the tiniest criticism. How do I change?
>>32595263Not care. I don't think I mind if I annoy, am hated by others, it's probably cliche yet at least God, Jesus my family love and like me.
>>32595283>not careBut how?My family is the whole root of this, they were hypercritical and punished me for the slightest failing, a lot of the time when I didn't even know what I'd done wrong.
>>32595263>How do I change?You know how you're obsessed with being liked to a pathological degree?Instead don't.
>>32595263yeah it sucks when your family isnt in your corner. at that point, you should turn to yourself for comfort. you should introduce positive thoughts into your consciousness, even if you don't think they feel genuine. if you have some idea of what your purpose in life is, then you should chase after it. that way you have some solid ground to stand on should your family say anything. just don't poor gasoline on your relationship with them, if you can. even if they're the ones burning the bridge.
>>32595875>if you have some idea of what your purpose in life is, then you should chase after it.I've been doing a good job of this I think. I recently had a big career breakthrough and achieved pretty much the thing I'd wanted all my life. But I don't feel happy or fulfilled, all I do is wallow in paranoia that my bosses and coworkers (who have all been great so far) will stop liking me, and beat myself up for the smallest errors. I try to tell myself that I've done pretty well for myself in life but it never feels genuine, meanwhile my self-criticism does.
>>32595263Start liking other people. Go out of your way to get to know them more, even people you pass by without a second thought. Think of yourself less and more about how you can influence and inspire others
>>32595263Peel their skin off and wear it like a onesie. Then you can farm their approval manually just by giving it to yourself.
