🤔 We overestimate how much others notice our mistakes and flaws. Truth is, everyone's too focused on their own perceived shortcomings to spot yours.

Next time you're self-conscious, remember: You're the star of your movie, but an extra in everyone else's.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@soul-phoenix.bsky.social would you like to join the #PositivePsychology starter pack?

Small & expensive!

I was working near a big #Tesco yesterday so the only thing to do was to pay a visit & raid the #GlutenFree #Christmas range. It would have been rude not to 😉

Reflections on Parenting, Identity, and Unconditional Love You know that moment during pregnancy when everyone asks, "Is it a boy or a girl?" I answered: "It's a baby!" I'd say it with a smile, and people would laugh, thinking I was being clever.
