Anveshi Jain Instagram – Humans are masters of self-deception.
We fool ourselves into believing things that are false
and we refuse to believe things that are true.
I was new in mumbai , few friends i found here were in phantasm of themselves. one of them use to lie about being occupied in work and meetings even when he is purely doing nothing, soon i realised he is lying to himself much more than to everyone else. that’s when I really started delving into the topic of self-deception.
And it rocked my world.
I saw it everywhere,
in everyone.
We lie to ourselves about the smallest details,
such as how much we really ate today,
and why we didn’t list our actual height and weight
on our driver’s license.
We lie to reflect our aspirational goals:
“I’ll only have one glass of wine tonight,” –
when I know I’m drinking at least three.
We lie to uphold social ideals
“I never have sexual thoughts with anyone except my spouse,”
because that wouldn’t be acceptable.
We lie about our most important life choices,
such as why we married who we did, or chose our given career path.
Unfortunately, for all the romantics out there,
LOVE is rarely the full motivation for those choices.
Nowhere was self-deception more obvious than in my romantic relationships.

I was terrified of being left. My fear of abandonment led me to act in ways that are still hard for me to admit -anxiously awaiting a phone call,asking repeatedly if he loved me.At the time, I couldn’t have told you any of that,because I wouldn’t have been able to admit it to myself.At the core, we lie to ourselves because we don’t have enough psychological strength to admit the truth and deal with the consequences that will follow.That said, understanding our self-deception is the most effective way to live a fulfilling life.For when we admit who we really are,we have the opportunity to change. 
How do we start acknowledging the lies we tell ourselves?

How do we start becoming more honest liars?The first step is self-awareness –
we become observers of ourselves.
When you have a strong emotional reaction to something,
pause.
When what you say doesn’t match how you act,
pause.

Anveshi Jain Instagram – THE NEED TO BE ALONE

Alone is a word which is not associated with any good feelings .we don’t even like the sound of it.Although i am talking about aloneness not loneliness.there is a difference.Lonleliness is a lack, a feeling that something is missing, a depression, a need, an incompleteness, an absence. Aloneness is presence, fullness, aliveness, joy of being, overflowing Self love. You are complete. Nobody is needed, you are enough.  because our culture places such a high value on sociability it is awkward to understand how much at certain points we just need to be alone .we take other people very seriously perhaps more seriously than those in the uncomplicated ranks of the endlessly gregarious. we listen closely to stories we give ourselves to others. we respond with emotion and empathy but as a result we cannot keep swimming in company indefinately.at a certain point we’ve had enough of conversations that take us away from our own thought processes. enough of external demands that stop us heating our inner tremors, enough of the pressure for superficial cheerfulness that denies the legitimacy of our latent inner melancholy and enough of robust common-sense that flattens our peculiarities and less well charted appetites we need to be alone because Life among other people unfolds too quickly.the pace is relentless.The jokes ,the insights, the excitements ,there can sometimes be enough in five minutes of social life to take up an hour of analysis .it’s a quirk of our minds that  not every emotion that impacts us is at once fully acknowledged understood.you need your own time ,your own zone to let your natural real thought process come into existence without any exterior influence. people love to give advices and suggestions and that always creates an hindrance with your own thought process.borrowed thoughts or influenced decisions are never satisfactory. Recall any incident of your life where you took a decision under the influence ,no matter how correct it sounds at that moment ,were you happy taking that decision?
