How can I Stop Feeling like I have to be perfect?
The more you do for yourself, the better you feel; the better you feel, the more confident you’ll become, and the less compelled you’ll feel to be perfect all the time. Learn to let go. Try to let go of whatever it is that’s holding you back from accepting who you are.
Do you have to be pleasing to be loved?
Most of us have been trained that, in order to be loved, we have to be pleasing – we have to do what others want us to do, and avoid getting in the way, and making “trouble.” But real love doesn’t depend on our pleasing others.

How do you feel when you feel connected to the world?

Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with Me?
Feeling and thinking this way makes perfect sense, because our culture puts a ton of pressure on us to be perfect. We’re made to feel as if there’s something wrong with us if we’re still single by a certain age, don’t make a certain amount of money, don’t have a big social media following, or don’t look a certain way.
