5/5 Class regarding comparison etc

I feel like I have to be very frank in my communication. I have done a significant amount of work around this topic over a number of years, and while I appreciate no longer carrying the weight of comparisons, self-judgment, and blame etc, this shift did not positively impact my relationship with people who benefited from me staying small, absorbing shame and blame, and going with their program. It created significant animosity towards me.

Would I still do the work? Absolutely, because I choose my hard every single day, and that weight caused me physical illness amongst other things.

In my experience, if/when we broach these self-healing skills, I believe it’s most beneficial to do so without any expectations of changed behavior of others we’re “hoping to impact”. There are so many variables we have absolutely no control over.
