I don't have much to add since the posts were excellent!
Very smart people here.
So I will say diff stuff...
People are indeed drawn to pleasant, kind people they feel are comfortable to
be around...easy-going, non judgmental, easy to laughter, smiling and secure in themselves.
It's an unconscious magnetism.
Your everyday person is not equipped to reach out and be a friend to every
lonely, shy or depressed person...they are busy...it's not their thing...unless
they ARE a social worker or church person wanting to save you, maybe...
The chances of a fellow student even having the time to reach out is slim...they
want fun and laughter...helping a friend happens, but
comes later once the friendship is established.
But, to
start a friendship with a needy person...young people
are just not 'there', usually.
There are some sweet angels out there, for sure. But, how often do we bump into
that special giving, caring, unselfish person?
(Usually in therapy! Ha)
Yeah, gluten intolerance wacks the mind out, chemical imbalances can make us nutty...and
aids in distorted thinking...as you've seen.
There is a great auto-suggestion technique that is very powerful and you can experiment for a couple weeks to see....
This is it:
Write this the first day...many times...after that
say it many times while
relaxed and
comfortable, breathing easily, no stress...really feeling it.
Then, just
think it like while brushing your teeth or at a red light. Ok...
"The more I, Michele, love myself, others will love me.
The more she, Michele, loves herself, the more others will love her.
The more you, Michele, love yourself, the more others will love you."
This hits all the subconscious ways we think of ourselves, "me, you ,she".
And you will start loving yourself...you will even walk and sit differently...think
how Marilyn Monroe walked! Uh-huh...you have that in you!
We all do...fat, slim, tall, short...it can exude from us.
Men fell in love with me like, obnoxiously crazy, when I did this...then their wives, dealing with
the situation after the hubby's confessed...fell in love with me and wanted
threesomes....this is a VERY powerful technique when done with deliberate intent.
Reprogram your mind to be the confident, pleasant, kind person
you know you are.
Become what you really are...a great person...not needing others and watch.
My 2 cents, hoping to encourage you.
