I think the story in this episode of how I let my insecurities bleed is a perfect example of how our perception and views, based on our values, can lead us to act and behave certain ways depending on the context. For example, in the story here, I previously felt $2000 was a lot for rent. Anyone who I viewed to be in the same position as me who spent $2000 on rent would be a fool in my eyes. So much wasted money and they would be spreading themselves so thin. The truth is that I have no idea what they’ve got going on. I have no idea what they can or cannot afford, but because of my circumstances, I make assumptions that theirs must be that way too. As a result of this, I felt that judgment cast onto me when I shared the numbers. It was an observation I made that I think is more important than I realize.
I think what was most important about it is that I realized that despite what they might think, say, or do, the facts remain the same. And that is I can comfortably afford what I am getting myself into. What anyone else says or thinks about it doesn’t change anything. So why let it bother me?
