The title of my blog

So tonight I did it again. My friend Kara and I have some of the same issues and tonight she facebook messaged me freaking out and asking me about some of my experiences. so what did I say? I said "trust the adults. they're not there to hurt you. they'll help you accept this. yeah it really helped me."

Meanwhile I'm regretting being honest with my therapist and not doing much better than before.

And I know i'm not the only one who does this. Why can't we take the advice we give? Why can't we feel deserving of our own love and affection?

I think this falls under two categories. Firstly, taking your own advice means that you're speaking with your "rational mind" but when we're in need of advice we're in our "emotional mind." And when you use your rational mind, you're being accountable for yourself. which then means that if something goes wrong, you're to blame. That's why being accountable is so hard.

Secondly, we as humans want others to reassure us. If we reassure ourselves, then that leaves a void where others could be. And that's problematic, because that leaves us alone.

So does that mean that I just sit here and listen to my friends tell me what I logically, rationally already know?
