Tell me about your self limiting beliefs

[SeismicJolt]

Outside of religious belief.

For instance, I constantly feel judged as a single woman and mother, by society and family, so I feel that that holds me back. I have promised myself to be more daring and to take more risks.

My family is all I have and I feel restricted by societal expectation. The things I wish to do are not that daring, but I find myself strangled with worry about how my actions and words will be perceived.

Perhaps I just need to get a grip.

Self-limiting beliefs? I don't think I have any in the sense you experience. I live with the knowledge that this life, our time on this earth, is very short and everything is temporary: as long as I do my best to live according to the Lord's commands, keep short accounts and have peace in my heart and a clear conscience, then I am living my best life. Matthew 6:27 "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life"

How arrogant.

Why is this arrogant?

@Thegreatestoftheseislove I was asking for perspectives outside of religious belief. I'm quite acquainted with what the bible tells us.

The whole "I know exactly what happens after I'll die and I never have any doubts" thing.

Not sure it's religion so much as mental health or even chat - maybe consider having the thread moved OP.

For me it's the belief that no one likes me or will like me. Stops me doing a lot of things.

It’s not remotely arrogant.

I have this too! Although it’s more that I don’t believe I’d ever be anyone’s first choice. I feel like people would invite me for coffee / hire me for a job / choose me for their quiz team but only if the “better” options aren’t available.

That looks so sad written down! I have always felt like this, I would love to know where it comes from.

@starsinthenightskies childhood rejection? ASD? Not fitting in in the past?

That's all true for me. Stops me planning birthday celebrations, work events, anything where I would be the main focus.

Only in the programmed and conditioned mind.

@blackwaterpark "How arrogant"

LOL. Thank you for your judgement. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. How about you answer the opening post?

Oh, were you? I missed that disclaimer in your opening post. I thought you were inviting all thoughts from a religious/philosophical perspective. Oh well, nothing lost, nothing gained. Keep calm and carry on.
