"I cannot (x) because I am (y)"
"I cannot flirt because I am a sexual addict"
"I cannot give a compliment because I am a sexual addict"
"I cannot give praise because I am an addict"
Regardless of whether or not the thoughts are logical is pointless. We are not logically governed beings, and I've found myself having these thoughts repeatedly. Especially lately.
They're hard to escape.
It's basically a mindset where you feel you cannot apply a value to yourself or allow yourself to be a positive influence because you feel that you yourself are NOT a positive influence because of the struggles that you're facing.
Well let me remind myself and you that everyone has their own demons to face. Everyone struggles. Therefore everyone should be doing what they can to help other people lift their own burdens.
