“It’s dangerous to put your self-worth in other people’s hands.”

“Boredom is your imagination calling to you.”

“Resentment is the feeling of frustration, judgment, anger, “better than,” and/or hidden envy related to perceived unfairness or injustice. It’s an emotion that we often experience when we fail to set boundaries or ask for what we need, or when expectations let us down because they were based on things we can’t control, like what other people think, what they feel, or how they’re going to react.” 🤯

“Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening.”

“frequent social comparisons are not associated with life satisfaction or the positive emotions of love and joy but are associated with the negative emotions of fear, anger, shame, and sadness.”

“Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.”

“Anxiety and excitement feel the same, but how we interpret and label them can determine how we experience them.”

“Avoidance will make you feel less vulnerable in the short run, but it will never make you less afraid.”
