A month had passed. Exactly a month since that one unfortunate night when their relationship ended. Since then, she had finally allowed herself to feel and breathe freely. She permitted herself to identify the sadness, the anger, the disgust, and the deep emptiness within her. Yet, she also granted herself healing and the assurance of her own presence and peace of mind. She made the decision to avoid any interactions with him at all costs, just to let herself breathe.

I set myself free in my own time now I'm all alone I really don't mind

At some point, she found herself in the stands of the basketball hall, there to show her support for Jungwon - her best friend of six years — who was ready to have a match with his team against the opposing school. As she sat there, she overheard some girls sitting in front of her gossiping about her and Sunghoon's past relationship.

Apparently, every time Sunghoon is asked about the reason for their breakup, he either shrugs it off by telling others that they didn't share the same trajectory or, if he's constantly pressed about it, he says they broke up because of a lack of time due to their tight schedules and exams. What a lie.

but would you leave it out when you tell everyone about us so much went so wrong between me and you

Trying to ignore the recently received information, she cheered silently for her best friend throughout the whole match, yet she was not able to shrug off the memories of her breakup with Sunghoon. Sunghoon has always been a man of pride, whether it was his grades, his looks, or his family's wealth. He always had everything he wanted. Yet, the only thing he did not have was a significant other. While all his friends were bragging about their relationships, Sunghoon could not help but feel pressured and down. So he decided to date her.

They met in a shared chemistry class, where Sunghoon desperately looked for a girl he could pick to be his girlfriend. He flashed his beautiful smile at her and arranged to meet up frequently, whether it was for their studies, the music they shared, or simply each other's presence. At first, he thought the feelings would come after a while, but they didn't, and he did not want to deal with that issue any further. He chose to ignore the tenderness and kept on feeding the facade of being in love.

After a while of dating, Sunghoon's constant way of vaunting about his girlfriend to his friends became very stressful and bothersome to her. She could not stand the pressure of always being the center of attention around his friends. She elected to calmly confront her boyfriend about the struggle she had been hiding deep down, which resulted in a heated argument. Sunghoon revealed his real intentions about their relationship, explaining how he just wanted to boost his self-esteem, to feel less left out, less pressured, and not embarrassed around his friends for not having a girlfriend.

She could not believe nor process the words that spilled from his mouth, so she just stared at him in disbelief. Sunghoon, not able to stand her silence, told her how much he cherished her just as a trophy to show around his friends, without having any strings attached. Soon after, she made the decision to end their relationship. Unable to look at his face anymore, she spared no time and stormed out of his college room to go to her own. Tears threatened to spill out, yet she did not cry. She did not want to cry. Arriving in her own room, she blocked his number and decided to go to sleep, just to ignore her own salty eyes.

now that it's done you can tell all your friends

After the match ended with a win for her school's team, everyone cheered loudly while she just smiled proudly at her best friend. The basketball players approached the stands, and in the crowd of the team, she noticed a familiar face—not her best friend's, but her ex-boyfriend's—Sunghoon. Sunghoon, running ahead of himself towards the stands, smiled brightly and hugged a tall and slim female figure, then a moment later, kissed her passionately. Seeing this, she looked quite shocked and felt a little bit hurt, but she hoped he treated that girl differently than he had treated her.

without me around you can take turns with everyone

Some time passed. Just as she was about to exit the toilet stall, she heard a girl running and crying into the stall next to hers, disrupting her peace. She decided to stay quiet, not wanting to startle the girl. Accidentally, she overheard the girl talking to someone on the phone. Through tears, the girl explaines how much she loved a boy and how hurt she felt after an argument a few minutes ago over a minor inconvenience. The girl continued, describing how the boy had said hurtful things to her, claiming he did not love her and that she was useless, only seen as another trophy by him. Hearing this, she froze on the spot, her own breakup suddenly flooding back to her.

She exited the stall in a hurry and walked anxiously through the school hall, her thoughts racing freely in her mind. She couldn't believe that the boy she once loved and cherished had turned into such a heartless pride machine. She could not believe that Sunghoon continued to break the hearts of innocent girls just to feed his own ego and impress his friends.

even now as I'm on my own it wears me down and I've lost control

Arriving at her dorm room, she lied in her bed and chuckled at her own hope of Sunghoon changing. Soon after, the chuckles turned into wholehearted laughter as she reminisced about the lies Sunghoon told his friends about their past relationship and their reasons for breaking up.

after all we've been through would you tell everyone leaving out how you made me feel and what went wrong

Right after, the laughter turned into single droplets of tears, which trickled down her cheeks as she realized how insecure Sunghoon must feel — unable to tell the truth and live authentically, wearing a mask while breaking hearts. She felt sorry for him, though she shouldn't have; after all, he had broken her heart. Yet here she was, and the world did not end.

now that it's done you can tell all your friends

At the end, their priorities diverged: she would prioritize her future significant other, while he would always prioritize his pride and his FRIENDS.

without me around you can take turns with everyone you can tell all your friends you can tell all your friends

Authors Note: Yellow yall,, my first ff on tumblr and ngl kinda nervous,, hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing this !! I am open for any improvements, so feedback is very much appreciated (the negative one as much as the positive),, take care everyone !! (?)

Allodoxaphobia: The Fear of Criticism

In a society where expressing opinions and receiving criticism is commonplace, many people can accept feedback and use it for self-improvement without issues. However, for some, receiving criticism can cause significant stress and fear, a condition known as Allodoxaphobia, or the fear of criticism. Individuals suffering from this condition experience intense anxiety when receiving criticism or feedback from others. This article explains the meaning, causes, symptoms, and ways to manage Allodoxaphobia, helping those affected cope effectively.

What is Allodoxaphobia? Allodoxaphobia is an irrational fear of hearing others' opinions or criticism. This fear may cause individuals to feel anxious, avoid situations where they might receive criticism, and impact their daily life, even when the criticism is constructive. This condition falls under the category of Phobia, which refers to excessive and unreasonable fear. The fear of criticism affects not only mental health but also social relationships and job performance.

Causes of Allodoxaphobia Allodoxaphobia can result from various factors, including past experiences of harsh criticism or unfair blame. The primary causes include:

Childhood experiences: Repeatedly receiving harsh criticism or blame can foster feelings of fear and insecurity.

Low self-esteem and personality traits: Individuals with low self-confidence often feel anxious when criticized, leading to a fear of criticism.

Stress and social pressure: Facing criticism at work or in social situations can amplify this fear over time.

Symptoms of Allodoxaphobia The symptoms of Allodoxaphobia can manifest both physically and mentally, including:

Severe anxiety when receiving opinions or criticism.

Avoidance of situations where criticism may occur, such as meetings, group discussions, or tasks that require evaluation.

Physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, and shortness of breath when confronted with criticism.

Negative self-thoughts and feelings of worthlessness.

How to Manage Allodoxaphobia Managing Allodoxaphobia requires psychological therapy and mental exercises to build self-confidence. The following methods can help:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This therapy helps change distorted thoughts about criticism and teaches better coping mechanisms.

Exposure Therapy: Gradually exposing oneself to situations where criticism is given helps the individual adapt and reduce irrational fears.

Building self-confidence: Improving self-confidence allows individuals to accept criticism constructively without anxiety.

Seeking professional help: If symptoms are severe, it is advisable to consult a psychiatrist or psychologist for guidance and appropriate treatment. Allodoxaphobia, or the fear of criticism, is a condition that impacts mental health and daily life. Recognizing and understanding this condition is the first step in managing it. Finding ways to care for oneself and seeking professional help are essential to overcoming this fear and building confidence to receive criticism effectively.

How Would You Feel if This Was Your Last Day on Earth?

As I type that message so many feelings begin to bubble up to the surface.  In this moment, it is a truly beautiful day.  The temperature is moderate.  There is a slight breeze, and the humidity happens to be lower than usual.  In close proximity, several birds are making their unique sounds and songs, letting me know they are near.  The mango tree is covered in maturing fruit and two neighbors-, just stopped by to ask my husband to lend a hand.  I feel content and, on most days, really fulfilled with my life.  

Yet of course, there are some things that I would really like to accomplish.  Or is accomplish really the appropriate word? To bring that phrase into energetic alignment with my topic at hand, I’d change that to read, experience!  Therefore, if today was my last day on earth, I’d have some feelings around not hitting the highlights that I had hoped to hit.  

I’ll turn it over to you now.  

If This Was Your Last Day on Earth, How Would You be Feeling?

Would you be regretful? Or could you honestly say that you gave it your absolute best shot?

I’m inspired today by having attended The Art of Livin’ event that was orchestrated by the American actor, Matthew McConaughey.  The data he provided was that 2.4 million people signed up for the free event.  2.4 million people were interested in the topic of changing their lives.  That’s a lot of folks!!

During the event we also had the opportunity to hear Marie Forleo, author of Everything is Figureoutable and Tony Robbins share their words of inspiration.  It was an uplifting way to start the week! And I walked away really intrigued by the comments in the chat box.

Crazy, right? Here’s why …

People Were Obviously Interested.

Yet …

When the moment came for an opportunity to be presented to actually do something to change their lives, the chat box blew up.  All the stop signs began being erected.  Brakes were hit.  Excuses were flying.  And reactions were flashing across the screen in rapid succession like a flurry of snowflakes during a blizzard.  

What Was Happening Exactly? (resistance & fear, leading to inaction)

Of course, we could surmise that inaction could be due to not having “enough time” or “limited resources” or … blah blah blah.  If we decided to take a deeper more authentic look to search for the root of the inaction, we’d most likely find that the root of our lack of forward movement lies not outside of ourselves but rather within ourselves.  

Here’s a shocking truth:

8% of People Live out Their Dreams in Life.  8%!! This Translates to 92% That do not.

Yikes!

In David Nurse’s book, Do It: The Life Changing Power of Taking Action he provides a description of nine action archetypes.  One in particular fascinated me due to the work I do in the Heal Your Life® community assisting others to heal their childhood traumas and wounds.  It really struck the nerve of the old message, “What will the neighbors think?” Here it is.  

The Allodoxaphobic:

Apparently, allodoxaphobia is the fear of other’s opinions.  (Who knew?) David went on to share that studies have supported that the irrational fear of being ridiculed by others begins in childhood.  Being laughed at, teased, scoffed at, and perhaps even physically abused by the bullies all contribute to this condition.  (Which serves as future triggers affecting whether or not you’ll take action today!)

David suggested to consider how much better your world would be if you didn’t concern yourself with what others think.  Amen, right? Yet … I’d suffice it to say, that we all do it on one level or another.  

Louise Hay spoke about this in almost every single one of her books.  Reminding us that, “We are the only thinker in our mind.” Ultimately guiding us to not concern ourselves what others think or say but rather to think on our own as, “Our thoughts are creative.”

And to change our thinking to change our life, writing an affirmation is a beginning.  A beginning.  One small action.  

Yet, if we really, really, really, really, really have a dream on our heart it is high time that we discontinue with the nonsense of resistance and fear.  The only way to live our best lives (if you are not already living it) is to take action.  Make a change!! When?

Now! Your life is waiting!

Today is the day I strongly encourage you to self-reflect and uncover your reason for the inaction that keeps you exactly where you are.  Then identify what could assist you with moving beyond the hurdle.  In the process of going from awareness to action, you …

You may like this: Learning to Receive and Prosperity

Give Yourself Permission to Truly Thrive!

One of the ways I catapulted myself forward was by taking experiential immersion programs that gave me the loving container to go deep inside and get real to heal.  Two that I highly recommend are the Woman Within program and the Heal Your Life® Training.  

Reach out, reach up! I’m here to support you because in my heart I know that if my life could change and if I had the courage to go within, you can too.  

Let Life Love You.

You deserve to have your every desire, dream, goal, intention, and wish come true.  I believe in you.  Now it is your turn to believe in you, too.

Ho capito perché alcuni paesi sono deserti, sono affetti dalla ALLODOXAPHOBIA (la paura delle opinioni) le opinioni altrui terrorizzano al punto da non volerle sentire, allora significa che si può soffrire di questa fobia, derivata spesso dalla frequentazione di un ambiente in cui non ci si sente considerati (né, tantomeno, lo sono le vostre opinioni) e fortemente legata a problemi di autostima, abuso emotivo e paura del confronto, rimanendo internati in casa.#allodoxaphobia ##phobia #anxiety #depression #panicattack #love #psychology #gioielli #scarabeo #scorpion #tarantula #business #marketing #precious #buy #buyers #collana #mentalhealth #unicity #prezioso #anello #unicita #madeinitaly #fourupjewels #design #necklace #ring #bracelet #italia #stress #max_lomonaco https://www.instagram.com/p/Bua1RiDFGC7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s4bv9jxmgvtd
