I tend to have this negative thought that people think I'm weird or inferior to them and they look down on me. So, I decided to make a video of myself on my imac. Videos are much different than looking in the mirror, which you only get one perspective of yourself. It was nothing special, just me just sitting there doing random stuff. I wanted to see if I indeed looked like I was weird or inferior just to challenge my own thoughts. The results were astounding. I realized my thoughts were way off basis. I looked absolutely normal even though I was feeling uncomfortable doing the video. I even thought I looked attractive, lol. After I watched my video an unusual sense of calm came over me. It was liked I was just relieved that my thoughts were wrong all along
The lesson is that a lot of our thoughts about ourselves are off basis. If you challenge them, you'll see that a majority of them are wrong.
