The teacher is amazing...!!

I went to consult with my teacher about something yesterday. They like philosophical things just like I do, think similarly to me, think and act a lot, try to be super positive, and are really well-liked by everyone. I ended up telling them about my thoughts, worries, and unpleasant feelings for about an hour. This is what the teacher told me then. "These are the kinds of worries that only someone who thinks a lot can have. People who don't think at all just live carefree lives and never encounter such dilemmas. After all, the person you'll spend the longest time with in your life is yourself. You know yourself best, and you're the one who can praise yourself the most. No matter what anyone says, you can just think to yourself, 'I'm doing this, so I'm better than you.' However, if you let that show in your attitude, it'll earn you backlash, so it's best to keep it in your heart." My memory might be a little fuzzy on the exact wording, and I might have forgotten some parts, but that's the gist of what they said. These words were incredibly comforting. It's hard for people who overthink to praise themselves, but please praise yourself a lot!!
