With all that is going on in the world and the uncertainty in the world causing so many mental health problems we need to be mindful and honest about our own feelings. He quote below resonated with me.
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
Many daters come under criticism when they declare that they are vegetarian or vegan and many people then question what they eat, and are also told that plants feel pain too. If you were on the receiving end of this kind of attitude a breakup, you may feel angry, rejected or betrayed as if choosing not to eat flesh is a stupid or unreasonable choice. The good news is that it is ok to be yourself in whatever shape or form that takes. You are unique and do not have to conform with someone else’s opinion. Emotional pain and hurt can be great teachers. This is especially true when it comes to matters of the heart and online dating is an opportunity to be yourself as an intelligent and unique individual. Sometimes, that means, we suffer a loss and realize not to take love for granted. Other times we feel hurt and discover that we have the strength to carry on.
If you were on the receiving end of a difficult conversation about being a vegetarian or vegan, you may be left with a feeling of being picked on which can leave you with an unhealthy mental health mindset. When you affirm, care for, and love yourself in a healthy way, all else may fall into place and we need to perceive ourselves in a positive and healthy way. This way we can feel happier and more self-confident about ourselves. There’s no doubt that a critical attitude can hurt and sting. It may feel like there’s a temporary “dark cloud” over your head. During these times, it’s extremely empowering to ask yourself: “What is the best thing I can do now so that, six months or one year from now, my future self will thank my present self for the decisions I’m making today?”
