Am I still afraid of being disliked?

I remember It was almost impossible for me to accept that not everyone can like you. If there’s someone who likes you for no specific reason, there must be someone who dislikes you for no specific reason. Now come to think of it, I guess I was trying to fill the void of my weak point by getting validations from other people.  I wanted to share this insight, my journey of me getting better and getting more comfortable with accepting that people will absolutely dislike me without any reason. Again, thanks for listening to this episode, hope I’ll see u again next week too!

The importance of being vulnerable

In the book ( by Garbor Maté) I’m reading recently, it talked about the reason why people should be vulnerable and why it’s essential to let your kids vulnerable. Also letting them know how to handle that moment of being vulnerable. Basically it conversely emphasis a disastrous outcome of if you don’t let your kid to be vulnerable, “they will cease to relate to life as infinite possibility, to themselves as boundless potential, and to the world as a welcoming and nurturing arena for their self-expression”  and by reading this part, I realised that every greatest growth and greatest improvement came from me accepting the fact that I’m feeling and AM vulnerable and made an action to rectify and resolve the current situation where I felt vulnerable. Because like the book says, “nothing in Nature ‘becomes itself’ without being vulnerable“

GET OUT of the Internet world

Sometimes I feel like I’m not living in the real world because I was immersed in the Internet world without knowing you never know until you actually experience it. Internet is an essential tool for everybody who’s living in 2026, but also it can easily affect u in a very toxic way because sometimes it provokes u to feel anxious, nervous and worried which might lead u to be a complete coward who’s never gonna put it into action.  I thought about this topic a lot recently after I deleted my accounts of social media, and I just wanted to share it with my listeners!  Thank u for listening and hope you’ll have awesome weekend! See u soon :)

Question: how do u deal with more than 2 languages?

Being in an enviornment where you have to communicate in 3 languages was my dream and it is absolutely exciting of course, but the more I spent some time and days at work, I can’t deny the fact that I’m discovering so many weak points of my language skills both in English and Japanese (sometimes in Korean too lol)  So I started to be genuinely worried and lost about how am I going to improve both language skills and also, how to be a trilingual who can switch to those 3 languages smoothly and naturally all the time!  Basically this episode is just of me complaining about the status of me at work regarding language haha Again, thank u so much for joining in, hope I can see u next week too! :)
