How to be less needy (Real Talk)
Ok, so I’m not going to sugarcoat this anymore, but just being real here:
“We want to be more productive because we are too needy and desperate”
Hear me out
What I mean by needy is these constant thoughts and feelings that “I want to have this much money, I want to have that girl as my girlfriend, live in that kind of place, have this much respect and fame, or just overall feeling that I’m not good enough”.
We want to be happier, more productive, more focused, more relaxed, more muscular, more attractive, more successful… just overall more than we already are regardless of what happens.
I know this because that’s been literally me for the last 24 years up until this moment. I’m imagining myself from last year that desperately needs to hear this. When I say “we want to be more productive”, I mean it. We are literally all in this together, I’m in the exact spot as you, and I want to do something about it now; which I know you want too.
But you know what’s scary about this, it’s this rationalization we do in our minds that “I’m satisfied, I’m happy where I’m at, I don’t need a girlfriend right now, I want to be productive because that is healthy or something.
And if you are genuinely at that point, more power to you but I’ll tell you…
