[@lisalee6927]

100% have had the same exact conversation with my therapist about believing I’m inherently bad and feeling terrified that I’m somehow just tricking everyone who knows and loves me and one day they’ll realize I’m awful. It was honestly really helpful when my therapist said: “so you must be very powerful and talented if you can manipulate everyone in your life”. And then I laughed and realized that’s a pretty ridiculous fear to have. I still have that insecurity often, but it’s easier to reassure myself that it’s probably not something anyone else believes or will somehow “find out.” Hope this helps to normalize :) thanks for your vulnerability

[@NouraArcher]

I actually love that so much

[@loiteringspy8063]

i have the same mindset and my therapist told me that bad people and narcissists and abusers don’t spend any energy wondering or worrying that they are those things. worrying and thinking about it at all means you aren’t because if you were inherently bad you wouldn’t care that you were bad. that made me feel better

[@debbiebeveridge1883]

When I was younger I was afraid to let people get to know me because I was worried that they might not like me. In my 30’s I met a friend who was very outgoing and friendly. She was never afraid to put herself out there. She gave me the courage to change my inner thought process. When we moved to Texas I joined the neighborhood social committee and started having happy hours at our pool and invited our new neighbors. It made me realize that I could put myself out there and people actually did like me. She changed my life. You are a beautiful person. Know that you are loved by so many, especially me!❤

I'm also a 30 year old virgin and have never been in a relationship. I don't know you Chris but you are not alone even though at times we think we are. I'm also extremely outgoing and people think I'm confident. I can be confident but I do not feel secure enough to be in a relationship and that is something I am working on. I relate in thinking I have something beautiful to give in my heart and soul and longing to find someone to share it with. Each year it feels like we will never be able to share this light and the darkness around us grows bigger and bigger. It's like being in this never ending tunnel and hoping to see the light at the end of it but becoming more and more pessimistic about ever finding a way out of our own insecurities.

[@jepeyr01]

As a therapist, I absolutely adored how vulnerable you allowed yourself to be at the beginning of this episode. Vulnerability is one of the toughest feelings to allow ourselves to feel but it only becomes easier the more often we let ourselves feel it. This was one of the best episodes yet! I love love love Chris and you two have a wonderful chemistry! ❤

Shannon, I just wanted to remind you that you are truly one of the kindest, most gentle souls to ever exist. Your intention to not hurt a fly intentionally is evident in every action and word. It's inspiring to see you being vulnerable and sharing a big part of yourself in your job. Keep in mind that people around you recognize your goodness, and it would literally be impossible for you to be fooling so many people at the same time about your intentions over so many years; someone would have seen through it. The positive impact you have had on others is a testament to your authentic and caring nature.

[@wweleah]

I super relate to what you said at the beginning. And thank you for sharing!! No one in my life has ever told me I'm a bad person or anything of the sort. Maybe mine also stemmed from growing up gay and having depression. I'm not sure. But at my core I've also always felt like if people knew me like really really knew me they'd leave. Because I've never thought I was good enough for anything or anyone. It's a rough thing to try and cope with. Especially in romantic relationships. I think that's a main factor in what's always held me back from full intimacy.

I really appreciate and relate to Chris' perspective and find it so refreshing. There's an undeniable niche for making ones sexuality their entire personality, brand, etc., which, while appreciable and necessary for many of us during certain times in our lives, can all too easily devolve into a tired trope. Sure, while the likeness that bonds many of us generally revolves around our community's sexuality, it's like, "okay...so tell me *more* about YOU." I feel as though it's something people can easily fall back on, a soft-landing, if you will, when we feel too vulnerable to offer something of more substance.

Yes Shannon! I 100% feel the same way about being scared I'm a bad person. But my therapist told me that "would a bad person worry about being a bad person?"

[@soilgrasswaterair]

It might help to view it as a learning experience, to watch things back- instead of potentially falling into a negative critique of yourself. Sort of comparing what can get better, what’s good and things to explre a bit more that you might catch when you edit the podcast material. It’s a job and treat it as such and be kind to yourself and allow your private self to not tag along into your professional view of yourself❤ I hand in a ton of text for assignments and exam at law school, and looking at my work with kind eyes and simply focusing on not allowing the critique I have on my texts bleed into ”it’s not good enough, I should have done better”. I take note of where my older texts could have improved and I enjoy minor shifts that adds on to the progression of my writing. This creates a curiosity of where things can go in a positive way even if I still struggle from time to time...because hey, after all it is hard to show up on a regular basis and deliver something on time week after week. It’s a process and please have fun with it❤ Fantastic that you want to expand and make the podcast more diverse in different ways, because too many have sadly over the years not bothered to take in a broader narrative. I have earlier been in friend groups where my childhood friends were let in on the fact that they weren’t really welcomed, and it broke them and it made me feel ashamed I hadn’t picked up on the structural racism (where some are super fine with ethnic diversity...just not in their own friend groups- which is to not be fine with diversity and racist). This is something that didn’t really sit well with me when I would follow some wlw couples on KZbin and people would get invited to thngs to promote products and it was so divided tied to ethnicity. I wasn’t used to that, because I grew up in Scandinavia and at my school people mixed no matter ethnicity. My first boyfriend came from Asia and no one found that strange and in the U.S. they wondered why a blinde and blue eyed girl would have an boyfriend with Asian heritage. *Keep up the lovely thing you have going here, Shannon!* ❤

[@The-Labbed-Life]

I really loved this episode. I didn't know Chris before but I can relate to him so much about relationships, not sharing about it to other people and labels. I agree with him here, it was as if it was me talking. But at the same time, I also can relate to you Shannon. I live in another country from my family and every time I get back I have these thoughts you describe. I discovered you on the Podcast with Mal and I don't regret it at all. I was very happy to see you started your own podcast. Each episode is an introspective reflection for me so thank you for sharing and bringing amazing guest :)

[@nessr9241]

About your intro - I’ve believed I’m a terrible person since I was old enough to reflect on the kind of person I am. And this belief often impacts every area of my life… It used to be so much worse though. For me, it was an intrusive thought that I couldn’t leave be. I had to compulsively challenge it, either in my head or by seeking reassurance. But I’m so much better now at recognizing that my thoughts don’t necessarily mean anything. Sometimes they’re just… there. And they stick around because I care about having a positive impact on others. Anyways. Cheers to being vulnerable on the internet ;)

Every individual is a canvas of contrasts, harboring both light and shadow. The choices we make define the brushstrokes of our character. Embrace the light within, confront the shadows with understanding, and consciously steer towards the path of positive choices. It's a nuanced dance between the two, shaping the narrative of one's life.

[@tenzero5274]

I also have this belief that deep down i am a bad person, and i’m not sure how it started, but i just remember really desperately wanting to be loved and trying my best to be a good person but believing that deep down i am just innately bad. i’ve spent most my life constantly thinking about good vs bad, and only until much later in my life did i realize not everyone has this on their mind. def being gay in a conservative community made it so much worse, but yeah it’s a struggle.

By saying oh she only likes girls. When it’s not the case like?? Has anyone else dealt with friends doing this?

[@penel25]

I used to feel like I was a horrible person, that I am a sociopath even, when in reality, I am a very empathetic and kind person. I grew up with narcissistic parents, so as a kid I would often fantasize about killing them, or praying they would just die and then I would feel horrible about it. I had a lot of pent up anger about the abuse I was enduring and with time my thoughts were getting darker and darker and evolving into anxiety intrusive scenarios that I was a sociopath. I even had nightmares that I was killing people. I pronounced myself a bad person, and refused to believe anything positive others told me about myself. I truly believed that I deceived everyone, and tbh I did! Because I thought I am a bad person, I tried to overconpensate by people pleasing everyone, having no boundaries and never expressing negative emotions. Since working on things in therapy, I now realize that wether people admit it or not, darkness is part of human nature. Everyone can be mean in their heads, most people had at some point fantasized about killing someone or hitting someone, everyone has anger, everyone is capable of terrible things given the right circumstances. The more trauma and anxiety we have, the more darkness resides within, and if you refuse to look at it and accept it, the bigger the guilt grows. If you had a similar experience of feeling like a bad person, it's likely you have secondary emotions (google it), lack of boundaries, people pleasing tendancies and low self esteem. I encourage everyone to find a good therapist to talk about these things. You can be freed from this with therapy ❤
