10 Zavatra hafahafa ataontsika nefa tsy ekentsika mihitsy

I have a secret. I get it, I seem like a cool guy writing blog articles. But I have another side, which is behind the scenes. We are not able to admit our “dark” deeds to ourselves, let alone to anyone else. But don’t worry, I won’t judge you. It’s time to be honest with yourself.

So, confess that you sing in the shower. Yes, men do it too. Only they use a can of shaving cream as a microphone, and women use a comb or hair dryer. Well, did you feel better after this confession? 10 more habits you are embarrassed about.

1. Embellish stories to make them look cooler

Something tells me you like to exaggerate. People lie to make themselves look better than they really are. And it is in our nature. When telling a story, we embellish it at least a little. Why are we doing this? We want others to admire us, respect and love us. Moreover, it is unlikely that any of our opponents will understand exactly where we told a lie.

The problem arises when a little lie becomes a habit. Do your best to embellish stories as little as possible.

2. Trying to pretend to be busy when we are caught off guard.

We are afraid that someone might not understand why we are looking at him. Stop doing such nonsense! If you feel like smiling at a stranger, do it. Do not look away, do not try to find something in the bag, pretending to be terribly busy. How did people survive before text messaging was invented?

3. Blame others for what we did ourselves.

Stop blaming everyone around you. «Oh, it’s not me!» — a convenient excuse to dump what happened on the shoulders of someone else. Have the courage to be responsible for what you have done.

4. We are afraid to admit that we don’t know something or we don’t know how

We are constantly thinking for everyone. It seems to us that the guy at the party or work colleague is probably more successful or smarter than we are. It’s normal to feel awkward or clueless. Surely there are those around you who experience the same emotions as you.

5. We believe that we are doing something super-grand

Often times, we feel like we’ve won the biggest prize in life and everyone else has screwed up.

6. Constantly comparing ourselves to others

«I’m a complete loser.» «I’m the coolest here, and the rest of the weak here.» Both of these statements are irrational. Both of these opposing views harm us. Deep down, each of us believes that we are unique. As well as in each of us there is pain in which we are ready to open up to others.

7. We often ask ourselves: “Is this the meaning of life?”

We feel that we are capable of more, but we never begin to do anything. The ordinary things that we use in everyday life fade when we start thinking about death. And it scares us. From time to time we inevitably face the thought that life is meaningless and we cannot resist it. We lie at night and cry, thinking about the eternal, but in the morning we will definitely say to a colleague: “Why didn’t you get enough sleep? Played until the morning in the prefix.

8. Too conceited

When we pass by a mirror or shop window, we begin to preen. Humans are vain creatures and are simply obsessed with their appearance. Unfortunately, this behavior is shaped by the culture we live in.

9. We are in the wrong place

You feel that you are ready for more, at work you look at the screen, checking every minute of Facebook (an extremist organization banned in Russia). Even if you haven’t done anything big yet, that’s no reason to be upset. Don’t waste time!

10. We overestimate ourselves.

90% of people consider themselves better than others, 80% highly appreciate their intellectual abilities? But this hardly seems to be true. Don’t compare yourself to others — be yourself.
