Hey Matchy
I haven't seen this thread before. It's a good question.
Not sure if you can access Netflix or YouTube?
There's a lady on there who researches all sorts; shame, vulnerability, scarcity... many emotions. She's been doing it for decades and in the last 10y or so brought this research out for us all.
Her name is Brene Brown. You might be able to watch some stuff with earbuds at the Library? IDK.
In her Netflix special, she mentions that 95% of people, according to her research, experience the sudden fear that things will be taken away from them. EG when things are good, or going okay... the sudden fear happens.
That Dr said a very negative thing to you decades ago. Something you STILL remember! Horrid Mark.
I get all oppositional when someone tells me stuff like that. Even when I can hear it being repeated in my head.
All we can do is the best we can do, with what we have the capacity for.
Living your best life may not look like someone else's best life, but it's YOUR BEST LIFE.
Love EM
