New or false hope?

[Zues126]

Very proud of you Julie. Our own views and feelings are so powerful it can be hard to see past them. What most people do is evaluate the legitimacy of their own feelings, views, and opinions, and if they find no fault with them they assume they are right and the other person is wrong. What gets tricky is that the other person is doing the same thing. It's really, really hard to even understand that there is another way.

And then, just when you start to understand it, it is even harder to do. Like impossible. I am not saying I can do it. And when I talk about being unsure if I can be in a relationship and other people are like 'meh, you'll be fine', I just keep coming back to whether I could've done better in my sitch if I had to do it again. I'm sure in many ways I could, but sometimes I'm not sure.

So hard to understand, and harder to do.

It's like the line- "There is no difference between theory and practice- in theory. But there is in practice."
