I remember once seeing that the cause of this illness doesnt Necessarily comes from an excess of negativity, but an excess of positivity, that is, the need of always staying positive, the social pressure of always “being okay”, of always having to answer good when someone asks you how you are, because really, it's not a question, it's generally just a normality to say good, it's not an actual question that people make thinking, because its automatic.
But the truth is, the perfect in the other doesn't exist. For example, when we look at instagram and see “perfect lifes”, we aren't seeing actual day-to-day life, it isn't really life that we see in posts the person is travelling, happily smiling, because truly, that isn't life. What we think the person’s life is, isn't actually it, and that is the point, when you compare yourself to someone, is already assuming that the other’s life is better, but that itself cant be firmly said, it has no logic, because what really is their life, is something that simply just, happens, something that happens daily, and we cant get a fraction of it to say the person's life is better, because sure, they might post the place they travelled, but never how much actually is the debt they are in, how much they buy to fill their own emptiness, or how they cant handle adult life.
Everyone has their own mask, Just like you have your own, but let me tell you, to keep hiding your pain, will only make it grow bigger and more harmful, cause to speak your thoughts out is a rescuer, and it'll help you to feel lighter, less heavy, so don't keep bottling it all inside, speak to a trusted, safe person, a friend, or family member, therapist, whoever makes you comfortable, but don't stay with it inside.
