This morning, my therapist shared this really useful hack and I feel like it could be useful to share: it is the pie chart method.
Essentially, it is a great tool to identify the behaviours, situations and events that caused a certain effect, in order for you to truly understand what really happened.
You simply draw a circle, identify the circumstances that caused the outcome and give each situation a percentage of its influence on the outcome.
For example: you bake a cake but it turns out horribly. It could be that 45% of the fault could be given to the oven that has malfunctioned, 30% to the wrongly calculated measurements of the ingredients, and 25% of your inexperience baking a cake. In the end, you will realise that it may not be your fault, and therefore you should stop being so angry at yourself.
Disclaimer: sometimes the fault could be given to you. This is a useful method for those of you who may constantly be harsh to yourselves.
If I may say, there is a exceptionally thin line between being unbothered and focused on yourself and being so out of touch with reality to a point even a legitimate critic that is not aligned with the persona you manufactured is seen as out of pocket.
In circumstances similar to the latter, please consider waking the fuck up.
Something you believe?
You have to put yourself in proximity to privilege.
βBut investing is hard! But I do not want to break up, because then Iβll be alone! But learning is for few selected people! But I do not have time! But people will stare! But that sounds hard!β
But struggling is alright? K.

My dear,
What they said is exactly what you heard. What they did is exactly what you saw. Do not look for further confirmation of their actions - or lack of action.
God and the Universe will reveal us the truth, and it is often difficult to digest. But that is the simple reality of the matter. Swift away, cut them off and do not allow any further access to you and your precious time.
Pain is temporary, but self preservation and recovery are forever.
Rejection is redirection, not rout.
Some people can ignore their obligations for weeks, but not you. Some people let opportunity pass for lack of trying, but not you. Some people are content to wade through confusion and disorganization to finish every minor task, but not you. Some people are ok with wasting their precious time on endless distractions, but not you. Some people don't address their issues, but not you. You give a damn. You want to fucking do better.
That's what makes you different.
We literally don't own anyone any explanation for whatever reasons it is
Sorry babe but you do owe certain people explanations and common decency and accountability. This is very context dependent, but why do you want (or how do you think you can sustain) friends if you think you owe nobody anything?? It doesnβt compute sorry
