Last few days, I've been thinking how truly social animal we are. By being sociable, for instance, I get the feeling of security. Not necessarily physical, but of course, the mental one.
As some of you may noticed, I am having kind of stressful times lately, cuz I made a commitment to my folks which I must accomplish and there are some other side problems as well. So I have been experiencing pretty much insecurity since Sep. Anyway, I tried to observe myself in terms of when I feel the most secure as well as the least.
I feel much more secure on a day where I had a meaningful conversation with over 5 or 6 people. Interestingly, I feel the same when I read an article or watch a video about those who had a same situation as me and overcame it. Later on, I found out it gives me both inspiration and motivation to accomplish what I should. Now whenever I get some leisure time, I instantly grab my phone to watch or read, and it really helps me.
Conversely, I feel insecure when I'm alone as well as on a day where I didn't talk with anyone, cuz being alone makes me feel like I am the only one who lost his track in life and errone else is just doing perfect. I know it sucks, but I gotta admit that it's much better to fail with others than only by yourself. The reasonable explanation in this matter would be as I mentioned above, we, human beings are social animals by nature. Which means we want to be belong to somewhere whether to a group or organisation. Which also means even if you are thinking what a loser you are, there are thousands of people who thinks just the way you do and millions of people who once were a loser just like you.
I have read a lot about psychology, specially in terms of how the health of our mind influence to our success factors. The answer was exactly what I expected it to be. A person who has healthy mindset is more likely to succeed than a person who has unhealthy one.
So it's better to try to control our mindset and also manage our stresses, cuz no one is alone by any means.
