Thank you for responding to my comment and sharing your (more recent) experience! I agree that I don’t need to ‘solve’ it intellectually—I’ve never felt like my philosophy holds me back from feeling fulfilled and I think the issue of low self-confidence is at least partly separate. I’m very glad to hear that you are in a better place now. :)
The role model concept is definitely something I’ve heard before and while it doesn’t really make self-care easy, I agree that it is useful—e.g. when I feel guilty about not working overtime, I remind myself that I would prefer + want to create a society that doesn’t incessantly overwork. Why would anyone want to join a community that doesn’t encourage individual flourishing?
Thank you again for your kind words and your offer! I think I’m good for now but will keep in mind. In the mean time, I hope to see you around the forum!
