In my humble opinion, I think this is due to how our individual life has been structured even from birth. Our lives is somehow weaved around others. We were brought up to believe that we need each others supports and approvals to live a worthy life. If a child for instance, refuse to mingle with pairs, you can imagine how such will be portrayed even as innocent as this action is. One can hardly feel happy been alone, we either feel lonely, bored or entangled with whole lots of negative thoughts...while some people were able to translate this into making exploits... unfortunately, they still required the appraisal and approval of others for thier strides and discoveries. I think as an individual, one should strife, learn how to deal with this aged monster within us, inside out. Like you rightly said, self acceptance, positive silent pep talks, confidence and self assurance is important to reconstructing this negative mindset I strongly believe we are two beings in one body. The inner man or woman and the phisical man or woman. But the inner Being is the anchor of our reasonings, reactions and conclusions. Our charity must begin from within. ..Excellent thoughts from you as usual. More graces. Cheers!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this :) I think that despite all this flourish of self-help, we are more screwed than ever, internally. I don't think we're moving closer to knowing ourselves and accepting ourselves. On the contrary. And honestly, I think we're not encouraged to - after all, who needs smart people who know themselves well?
Why bother with them when you can have folks second-guessing themselves at every step?
