I hope I'm not alone in feeling I've spent a fair bit of time with negative or doubtful people who take a passing interest in my positive unreasonableness.
Cultivating, maintaining and protecting a healthy and positive inner dialogue is so important, as is avoiding doubt worshipping. It's interesting the type of negativity that positivity attracts.
Recognizing doubt worshipping is incredibly beneficial to learn to recognize.
Little by little, aware, or unaware, doubt worshippers spread seeds of doubt, attempting to validate and plant their own self-doubt by projecting their interpreted self-doubts on others. Some seeds of doubt eventually sprout if they make up too much of the energy and mindset around us.
Many doubt worshippers take things very personally even if someone seems happy or is stretching their own boundaries. Society in many ways supports seeking external validation before inner, and buying back our self-worth through many external forms.
I try to surround and anchor the world around me with as many creators, who are creating, in as many ways as possible. It's helped me to remember that innovation can only exist in a mindset of possibility, and keep a buffer between the negativity that can be around.
People who hang onto positivity much longer than most are also great to learn from. Many have learnt how to demonstrate being genuinely happy or supportive of others - something that doubt worshippers don't do for themselves.
Among doubt worshippers, self-criticisms can be found presented as rational thought, skepticism of thought or logical behavior. One question that reveals individuals practicing negativity is: Does it mean there is no understanding of something if a someone hasn't understood it yet and chooses to be skeptical? It would be interesting to explore if faithless cynicism really is productive.
There's a big difference between thinking less about yourself, and thinking less of yourself. One frees you up, the latter can debilitate.
We all can identify behaviour like this in our lives, and sometimes in ourselves. There's benefit from trying to be aware of this. I don't have any answers or desires to change the behaviour of others, only to be able to be free to be as hopeful, and positive as someone else might want to be doubtful and self-defeating.
Learning how to push forward, with incremental and additive effort is much different than pushing yourself through self-criticism.
It's nice to learn to genuinely not give a f about what the world thinks, only what you think, and how well treat yourself, and as an indicator of that, how well you treat others. By setting our own bar, haters often reveal themselves to be doing little themselves and will see what they want to no matter you may want to show.
