Opening up isn't just about sharing; it's about finding the right hearts to hold your words.
Not everyone is equipped to hold your vulnerability delicately. Some will listen with empathy, while others will turn your struggles into a competition of who has it worse.
But when you're facing the storms of anxiety and stress, you don't need unsolicited advice or someone hijacking the conversation with their own woes. What you need is a compassionate companion who creates a safe space for your vulnerability to bloom.
Remember, your voice deserves to be heard, your feelings validated, and your problems acknowledged. Your journey is uniquely yours, and the right confidantes will help you navigate it with compassion and understanding.
So surround yourself with those who lift you up, who listen without judgment, and who understand that support is not a game of one-upmanship.

![Stop comparing yourself to others and be more present. Get off the hedonic treadmill.
Why do we get caught up scrolling and stuck in social comparison? We think more and more that were somehow missing out (FOMO) or we shouldnt be where we are.
We get stuck on the hedonic treadmill of needing the next thing.
If were more present, we can go the direction that matters from a place of calm.
[TRANSCRIPT]:
So imagine you walk into a mall, and you see that map with that little dot that says You Are Here.
And somebody walks up next to you and they go, Here?! Im not supposed to be here Im supposed to be in the Apple Store! What am I doing here?!
Youd probably think that person is completely crazy.
But this is what we do all day long as humans.
We think that we should be somewhere else than where we are.
We think we should have more money, or we should have a house, or we should find a partner.
The idea that we should be somewhere else and theres something missing and that theres this huge chasm between us and what we should be or should have thats what causes us pain.
So the point here is: be here.
From here, you can go anywhere, but start here.
Then you have a starting point.
You have a place to start for the things you want to change in your life. Stop comparing yourself to others and be more present. Get off the hedonic treadmill.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kor2oRZico0/mqdefault.jpg)
