Question

What if I'm a shy/introverted person?

Community Answer

In today's society there is a certain stigma attached to a quiet, more introspective life. It is not essential for everyone to be loud and gregarious. Accept and understand the self first and foremost. You do not need to post your every move or thought on Facebook or sing your heart out in front of everyone, but that makes you no less important or great. Acceptance of self and the world we live in, acknowledgement, ownership and understanding of thoughts and feelings are important. Be gentle with yourself, you are amazing. Simple fact, perception of such is key.

Question

How can acceptance change the situation itself?

Community Answer

It doesn't change the situation. It changes your perspective of the situation. For example, if you saw life as unfair and pointless, this might change if you accept that life just is, not something value-laden, allowing you to see life as something precious and worthy. Basically, acceptance changes how you think.

Question

How can I get rid of doubts about my relationship?

Community Answer

You have to talk to your partner. Tell him/her about what is bothering you and talk it over together. Brainstorm possible solutions to your doubts - whether he/she needs to check in by text more often, or you need couples counseling, or any other changes that might make you feel better. If he/she is unwilling to have the conversation or change - maybe you have doubts for a reason.

Question

How do I accept my squint lazy eye?

Community Answer

We all have imperfections. Instead of what it looks like, concentrate on what it can do and be grateful. It might not be pretty, but it allows you to see!

Question

How do I accept that I have chronic pain in my back that can't be cured? I've now got to learn to live with this rest of my life, and I am only 37 years old.

The best way to accept it is to learn how to cope with the pain. I have found that when you know there are others like you who have lived their lives with it and been successful, it is very reassuring.
