    7:28 I needed to hear that, I’ve always been so good at science and hidden the parts of me that I actually loved just because they weren’t science. I studied Civil engineering but I love makeup, content creation and marketing and denying myself my creativity side actually made me collapse and eventually ended up dropping out from Civil engineering because I mentally couldn’t handle the inner conflict.
    I’m currently learning how to embrace both sides of me❤️

    My biggest blocker is not wanting to join all of these seminars, workspaces and shops just to be able to meet people to get a new job. I am just very introverted and don’t find a lot of fun out of small talk or what feels like kissing ass just to get an ounce of extra notability. I just feel like I’m always putting on a mask when it comes to work and it feels so ingenuine and draining.

    • @theselfloveprincesss
      @theselfloveprincesss 2 месяца назад +16

      I feel you. Though I do feel like it’s less about performing and more about not being afraid to take up space and show people what you have to offer. I’m introverted too but I want to go take what I want out of life instead of waiting for it.

    • @megmaina4320
      @megmaina4320 Месяц назад

      I see you. And I totally understand where you're coming from because I used be like that, and I still kinda am. For me I discovered that it was just a limiting belief. Also, like @theselflovemuslimah said, I was not comfortable taking up space and being perceived.
      My journey to overcoming the limiting beliefs started with coaching, kinda like therapy, where I learned various things to change my mindset, and to self regulate. In a month's time I had already seen significant improvement. I'm still a work in progress, but I now have the right frameworks that help me find confidence from within, and shut down limiting beliefs when they come up.
      I wish you all the best on your journey, and that you end up finding out what works for you.

      real, I explained this to a friend and they found it hard to understand why talking to people I don't want to just to get an opportunity felt like ass kissing. Every forced laughter and questions about someone's life feels so in-genuine. Every time Im interacting with people in this type of instance it feels like i have to put a mask on and perform and hope someone likes my performance enough to put a coin in my hat :(

      I also have this block. A Public Speaking coach I had gave great advice regarding this discomfort with Networking. Be interested in the other person and keep in mind that you can benefit them as well. When you know people you can bring two people together for a project they need done or an opportunity. They can also do this for you it a synergistic relationship, just take more interest in people beyond the work basically!

      The way I usually do this (though it’s different for everyone!) is I try to find something that makes me curious about it, or to find an aspect I like enough about it that I might want to learn more. Sometimes just sitting with the topics and getting to know the subjects can help! (I’m a writer, so when I’m unsure about a subject I try to think of a book idea related to it that I’d research for, and that usually helps me want to learn more and approach it with more interest.) (maybe see if there’s something about science or math that you could use in your art! I like using formulas and experiments in mine to simplify projects I see as daunting)
