Aquaria Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Me personally would be gluttony learning how to have a healthy relationship with food is one f the things I'm still trying to figure out. I'm good at being disciplined but when I'm bad... I'm bad and that's my problem, only takes one small thing to set me off, then it's off the wagon, down a hill and off a cliff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Pride. The damage I've dealt with from guilt has dealt me an excessive amount of it. I've been made to feel so much guilt from a certain person in my life (so much that I'm not even sure I deserve all of it given the circumstances) that it's hardened me into not being able to feel as much guilt or humility when it really is necessary. I may appear to feel truly guilty or humble, but in my mind I don't always feel it. I know I need to fix this, but I'm not sure how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Quick Guide: Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. Sloth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 jk but that is quite interesting and complicated Well I do have issues. I do admit that. I just think it's an end result of what happens when you've been a pushover for so long and in trying to compensate for it, you might overdo it. There's still a part of me that ends up overcompensating in the opposite direction but then something happens and it reverses leaving the cycle to continue. It pains me because of the situations where I do need to humble myself or just take others into account a little more, but I tread so softly into it or not at all from fear of being taken advantage of. I really need figure out better balance, or a shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need figure out better balance, or a shrink. Yes I see what you mean and I've seen that in others. Not necessarily saying this is you, but usually people with the biggest chips on their shoulders have some insecurity or something they're trying to make up for. I think in time you'll level off... You're proving to yourself that situation from the past doesn't define you... But soon you won't feel the need to show it you'll just know it and feel it and won't fear being taken advantage of. I think that's the biggest sign of personal growth and evolution, after you pass the "fighting" phase and reach an inner peace which is beyond fear.

You're definitely right about that insecurity actually. I can name at least a couple in my mind that are affecting me. I hope you're right about the rest. You might be since I can at least admit all of this is going on and try in someway to think through it or change it as opposed to ignoring it. Maybe I will get past the "fighting" phase since I can identify what it is. Thanks for this. It's really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hear these little voices in your head, put them on trial. Follow your fears and doubts to their worst conclusions and you will realize it's not that bad and while these voices can be useful to prepare you in making wise decisions, most of the time, they don't have your best interest in mind and learning how to identify them and telling them to shut up will empower you to have more control. This session is on the house btw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrylf Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just like my Roc, Gluttony, which Im in the process of trying to fix, but I have it with everything, I could be a major hoarder if I really let myself go lol. Pride was HUGE for me, but I've taimed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kishi Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Envy, I used to compare and measure myself to all of my friends, family, and school mates. I would always feel that everyone was ahead of me and that I had to do just as good or better than them because I don't have what they have. Thankfully, I'm learning that life is not a competition with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
