I'm not as good as everyone

Wants me to be.
Never was

1. Nothing wrong with being you,

Laboring under the expectations of others is a drag.
Be yourself✌️

[MIButterfly]

2. You are the only you in the world, Koz.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. You just keep being you and remember, your DU family will always be here for you.

You are good enough. Just keep on keeping on and don't worry about about anyone else's expectations.

3. Doesn't matter. None of us are.

We have hearts, we have a sense of right and wrong.
We always remember when we f'ed up or let people down and hate those times, and hold those as secrets in our hearts.
We all think we don't deserve what we have, because someone else needed and didn't have, and bad things happened to them

You done the best you could and made some lives better.
You asked for help when you needed it, instead of digging a deeper hole.
You had some really bad luck, through no fault of your own.
You're okay. This is a forum.

4. I learned this the hard way: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT,

especially on the terms of others.

You are good enough and you can be proud of that.

[Biophilic]

5. Seriously Koz, none of us are. It's the human condition.

And anyone who thinks they are are probably experiencing a mental breakdown.

6. Who is?

Certainly not me.

8. In my opinion, one of the secrets to being happy is not taking other people's opinions of you to heart.

There are precisely three people on planet Earth whose opinions of me really, truly matter to me. Where all the rest are concerned, I don't give a damn what they think of me. Love me, hate me, ambivalent towards me... don't care.

That's not to say I walk around being a dirtbag and treating people like shit. I don't. I treat people with kindness and respect until they give me a reason not to, and after that I generally just avoid dealing with them unless I have no choice.

Life's too short and you can never please everyone. You're good enough, my dude. You always have been. If the people around you can't see that, the hell with them.

10. Our "KOZ" is just!

We are all not better, nor worse than others, just different, and that's how the universe rocks and rolls.

• We are all different.
• We all have different beliefs, viewpoints and experiences.
• We all were born somewhere, not somewhere else, and were brought up in that regional culture.

Why is this good? See below.

Compare yourself to others, yes! We're all so alike, and made of atoms and molecules that were formed in exploding stars countless years ago from hydrogen H2. We are the eyes, ears and hands of a universe/God that wants to experience itself fully (and don't we make a mess of that too often?.)

We all have the ability to experience highs and lows, from hellish states to serene states. Even when things are glum, know that others want us to be happy, mainly because of what we have shared with them that's different and special, or times we have answered their call.

Be Koz!

11. I'm not as good as I want to be. I finally had to tell myself that humans are flawed..
