💭 I tend to say things which are true but very harsh to slap people into reality and truth (but ofc I control myself from doing so and sometimes, I failed 😐)
& I also somehow hope and need for someone to be brutally honest and slap me with the truth too, but I only get people who are honest but slap me with their own opinions instead which they themselves don't hold up to.

💭There's no point to argue with people who thinks they know everything – they won't accept or learn anything else than what they already know or things that they think they know everything about; and you will gain nothing from them either. Save your time, save your energy, save your peace of mind and just walk away.😊

💭Sometimes I read self-help books not because I really need that 'help', but more often I just want to know more because I wondered if there's better alternatives to something I've been doing my whole life that I can learn from other people.
I like questioning myself – I do it a lot; but not in destructive ways but in ways that allow me to be more open-minded, open to change, etc..
& of course, as I read, it's not that I will take everything I read and consider taking it as my 'bible', but I'll evaluate, analyse; and then take what's practical & reasonable, as well as learn from the not really good ones – because yeah some self-help books & articles kinda bullshit & not practical nor reasonable to me either 🤷♀
So yeah, have you never question yourself?

I'm stingy
stingy with my time
stingy with my attention
stingy with my words
stingy with my energy
& that is what makes me selfish
because I've learned that if you're always available for people
they'll just suck it all out of you
thinking you exist because
AND for them
yep that's the truth about people
so remember to love yourself

💭being someone's 'punching bag' or accepting & absorbing hits and blows from other people never help those people in any way, probably just a temporary satisfaction & relieve for them, but that just kinda like encouraging that behaviour in those people.
and sooner or later, you're the one who will lose your sanity.
don't stay where you're not valued or appreciated - that's not selfish, that's self-care.

I have to put myself first
because if I don't
who will?

but when I'm around
they just shine the light
on whatever is worst in me.."
and that is the cycle ~

I have lots of reasons to be angry
so I become angry
and then what?

I miss my quiet world
& I want to go somewhere
just away from all people who thinks they own me
to somewhere I can be all alone
& let myself own me...
#thoughts@quietworld🍃
who wouldn't prefer being alone
if people only hear them without listening
& reply to them without understanding?
who wouldn't prefer isolating themselves
if when they're surrounded with people, they often overhear people talking bad about them?
those are the seeds of my love of being alone.
I choose the people who I want to be available with.

💭 no, I'm not shy when I'm quiet; more often it just means I don't trust you.

💭 sebenarnya bukan bercakap ja perlu pakai otak, mendengar pun sangatlah perlu pakai otak.
💭the brain should be used not only when you're talking, but when you're listening too.
