Entry 6
Hello there. What is your toxic trait?
Today I will talk about two toxic trait.
Self-isolation and Avoidance
I used to avoid situations, people and self-isolate when I felt things aren’t working out. I realized through these actions I unintentionally caused confusion and hurt to others.
It took time and patience to understand why I act like this. Of course it’s easy for a therapist or psychologist to figure it out. I learnt I have been protecting myself from childhood hurt and I feared I will not be validated when I speak.
For a very long time, My voice was silence. Not anymore. I have decided to speak up. To be open. To be vulnerable with those I love dearly. To heal emotional wounds. I have decided to let it all surface up and let it go without judgement.
I just want you to know that whatever you are going through, it will pass. It might seem like it’s taking forever but eventually it will pass. Hold on. Love yourself more in this phase. Talk to yourself with kindness and grace. Allow yourself to uncover the darkness within for the light to shine through.
I love you
❤️
