Thanks a million for caring to stop by and sharing your precious thoughts here! I conquer with the fact that lying doesn't make us a bad person, and I thought I made this distinction clear in my essay... apparently not clear enough! 😁🤓🙃🙈

When it comes to experiencing guilt or shame (for the most wounded HSP unaware empaths and the dismissive-avoidant attachment style mostly, it seems to me, given that they respectively have low self-esteem and a narrative of being defective), it is okay and human indeed as long as it's backed by high levels of self-awareness; otherwise, it would be a self-harm coping mechanism, and that's sad...

The wish for all fellow humans who didn't lose their soul batle in this physical existence is to gradually destroy shame by reprogamming the limiting beliefs about thyself and transform guilt into a healthy response to err, no matter what it is; lying included:

I did a bad thing but it doesn't make me a bad person! 💙
