Starting Genesis: facing self-doubts

My 02 cents. Disclaimer, I’m only on my 3rd listen of Genesis so far. The best way I can describe it, is it’s very very direct yet flexible. That’s just for me though, it could manifest different in others. What I’m trying to say is Genesis is just straight no bs. It’s like an internal mirror to looking deeper within yourself. I never got along with some of the other subs because deep down I couldn’t even tell who I was.

What would it look like if you abandon other people? How would that specifically show up?

I want to share something with you, maybe it’ll be common knowledge for you or maybe it’ll be a perspective shift. Those of us with attachment issues or trauma sometimes have a tendency to project how we feel onto others. I did this a lot and still do. Maybe your perceived abandonment of others is really just putting yourself first once you’re secure and making time to enjoy your life. Emotionally healthy people in relationships understand that, they have other friends, they have their own lives, they’re able to emotionally regulate or talk it out with you. It’s not all on you to keep these relationships together. And sometimes what we feel as a huge emotional wound or trigger with behaviors is like a pebble in the shoe to other people. You really can’t predict how people will react emotionally to things, sometimes we can really stunt our own growth by getting too deep in imaginative narratives that replays our own traumas.

I’m aware of how rough it’s been for you. It’s definitely not easy to reform relationship dynamics when you grew up with unhealthy ones. I think Genesis would be really good.

Thank you @Fractal_Explorer. I saw you writing for a while and was interested in what you’d share.

To your first statement, yes, I’ve been wondering if I’m abandoning myself and ultimately throwing that belief onto others. Like the very things I do and think I often portray as other’s faults. I saw this years back, and since this sub experience is all about “my” beliefs, I’ve taken to seeking the truth. It appeared intimidating at first.

I spot it. I got it.

Also, it takes one to know one. I do this. It was always easier blaming others. I see it in others so easily. Owning my truth is a making me grow up, I thinks.

New suit. New reality. I’m seeking how to let myself off the hook as well, like @TheEmpress mentioned.

Gonna go shower and depart from the premises now.
