Discussion Not enough feeling? (1 Viewer)

[Parsival]

I don’t know why, but from time to time I get this weird feeling like something is wrong. I try to figure out what it is, my appearance, my mind, my situation, but I can’t really find anything. It just shows up. Another thing is my appearance. I know I look good. Back in school I attracted a decent amount of girls and had respect from other guys because of my physique. But even then, this feeling of insufficiency appears out of nowhere. I know I can improve, that’s fine, but this feeling isn’t the same as normal motivation, it just feels bad. Maybe it’s because I’m no longer in that school environment where I had that external validation confirming that I look good. I don’t want to come across as someone who seeks attention, I just wanted to express this.

Another thing my hair. I like having it long, but a family member told me it looks shapeless. Normally I wouldn’t care, but with this feeling in the background, it’s making me consider styling it, not cutting it, just giving it more structure instead of leaving it completely flat.


I know you must feel something similar.

"There is only one way and that is your way. There is only one salvation and that is your salvation. Why are you looking for help. Do you believe help will come from outside? What is to come will be created in you and from you. Hence look into yourself. Do not compare. Do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfil the way that is in you."
