How do I find inner peace?

Question

I don't like myself at times, low confidence, I feel fake, and like a complete idiot. I feel that everything that comes out of my mouth is stupid. I feel ugly. I'm constantly putting make over my face. I worry what others think about me. I feel cold towards certain people, but put a smile around my face. I am not depressed. I am not real. Who am I?

Answer 1

Please pay attention because class is about to start.

Every problem you have mentioned is because of one single thing. Imagine that, every issue that you have with your self is because of ONE SINGLE THING!!!!

Now I will attempt to show you the path to freedom, it is up to you whether or not you choose to accept this and find freedom or choose to wallow in your own self pity!!

LISTEN CLOSELY!!!

The reason for your suffering is because your compare you self to other people and have no identity of your own to find value in. Every moment that you are awake this world, our society is telling you that you are ugly and worthless because you are not _________ (<---insert any number of things here)! Every commerical you see, every add you see in a magazine is about one thing and that is getting your MONEY, infact almost everything is about getting your MONEY!! Even if you dont have any money it is working to effect you so that when you do have money you will spend it on things that you think will improve you as a person. DONT FRET however because this is something that almost everyone is traped in. You have to understand that you seek to find self value in other people and other peoples opinion of you. You have to throw almost everything the world has taught you out the window because society has raised you to be an ingnorant never happy consumer. This way you always are in the cycle of self hate and consuming things to try and add value to your self. But it will never happen!!

So if you are serious about wanting out of your jail cell contact me and I will tell you more about this and I know of a few books you can read that will help you see that the world has set you up to be a slave so that you dont realize how wonderful you are, because if that happens you will atempt to free others as I am trying to do for you . I am not a scientologist or anything like that so you dont have to worry about that!

And like I say:

"When the student is ready to listen, he is late for class!!!"

Answer 2

To find peace within yourself you have to first look in the mirror and learn to like yourself w/o thinking you are ugly. Love yourself-love yourself for who you are and what you have to offer. Don't bring yourself down. Instead of thinking, "I'm ugly." or "I'm stupid". think of positive things. The more positive you can be about yourself, the better you will feel. Don't think that everything that comes out from your mouth is stupid. That's not true-seriously. Try not to worry about what others think of you. They don't know you, they don't know what you're about. When you walk in room, stand up straight and don't look down. Think to yourself, "This is me-this is who I am. People can take it or leave it." It's pretty common for people to force a smile on, sometimes it's for the best. But if something is bothering you, speak up and let somebody know. It's OK to feel cold towards some people-it's impossible to live life without disliking a few people for whatever reason. Just be you and love yourself. You will never know how much you are really worth if you don't learn to accept yourself and be you. :)

Best of luck!

Answer 3

It sounds like you don't like yourself--and if you don't like or love yourself how can anyone else? You have major self esteem issues and I'm guessing you're under 20 yrold. These issues will hinder a normal life as you grow older or try to have a relationship with the opposite sex, or same sex if that's your thing. You need counseling- and there is free counseling in every city in the US- check mental health in the phone book and call.....it costs nothing and you therapy is the only way to make you feel good about yourself, and being satisfied with who and what we are, you will find inner peace. Good luck to you.....

Answer 4

Well, you have to pinpoint what don't you like about yourself. There are only two types: some you can change, some you cannot. Now, start working on the things you can, ummm, like working out to get a killer body, working hard to get a promotion, complete a higher education that you always wanted to. For the things you can't change, you need to accept it. Then you can accept yourself. Maybe even start to love yourself one day.

Answer 5

omg
i'm almost just like you
except i've progressed
you don't need to go see a psychatrist or whatever, but definitlely work on it. I've learned to get past about feeling like an idiot because of what i say to people through God. Go to church. You might find a new life, beginning, and end.
but...although i really encourage u to do that...in case ur not all for religious solutions, just ignore ur brain thinking and worrying about what poeple think of u. it shouldn't matter anyway. and if u feel ugly- don't. you should decently care about how u look, but don't obsesse over it. dress how u want to. don't care about what other people think is stylish or whatever. main point- do what u want to

Answer 6

Don't care about what other people think, work out 4-6 days a week, get a fun hobby, eat healthy and perhaps get a cute puppy dog. That should help you fell better about yourself.

Answer 7

Learn to find your centre of consciousness. Place a lighted candle in a quiet, darkened room. Sit comfortably and gaze at the candle, focusing on the feeling your breath makes as you breathe in and out (preferably through the nose): all of your attention is on that feeling, breathing regularly, in and out, in and out, in and out..........for at least 20 mins. daily. You will soon know the real you, which is not the persona you adopt whenever you go out in public. Also see: http://www.relax7.com/7.php and the blogs of Shan Eris at www.myspace.com and Yoga Nidra (no flexibility required) is also in that blog.

Answer 8

What if you were your toughest critic? How would that concept challenge your self esteem? Suppose instead you accepted yourself as a perfect work-in progress? How would you feel about yourself then?

Answer 9

I agree with tennis above. I learned my true value of myself in Church. Prayer and listening to sermons helpmed me out sooo much.
God Bless you!
