Day 48: Assumptions in Interactions

 


In my last post I said that a person wasn't interested -- I assumed that the person didn't want to be friends. What really happened is that the person didn't reply to my message/invitation not because she wasn't interested but because she was sick. So I should not assume things -- as well as not create expectations.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to assume things when meeting new people

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not breathe when meeting new people

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to assume the reason why someone is not replying to me

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear being rejected

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not be patient when interacting with others

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not accept myself 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to react with depression whenever I believe I am being rejected

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear not being accepted by others

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to ignore myself

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to react in depression whenever I perceive I am being ignored

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not give attention to myself

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want others to give me attention

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to place self-value outside of  myself in being accepted by others or not

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe my self worth is based in others acceptance of me

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have a negative self image of myself

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe my self worth is based to others acceptance of myself

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to be accepted by others

Whenever I see I want to be accepted by others, I stop and I breathe. I realize unconditional self acceptance must be first, and that I should not condition self worth to external acceptance.

I commit myself to have patience when interacting with others

I commit myself to not take it personally if others don't reply to me

I commit myself to value myself regardless of how an interaction with another goes
