The Stress Hidden Behind 'I'm Totally Fine': How to Face the Hardships of Work

Hello, I'm Maru.

Through my experience of changing from someone who was super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to regain your true self.

There are times when you say 'I'm totally fine' at work even when you're not, right?

Even though the other person has a lot of work and is busy, you feel bad about bothering them, so you can't say you need help...

When that happens, you start trying hard, thinking, 'I have to do it myself!'

People who end up saying 'I'm totally fine' often put on a brave face even when they are actually struggling and on the verge of tears. (I was this type...)

Because of that, it's hard for those around you to tell that you're in trouble.

If you keep repeating that, people will think, 'They can do it alone,' and you will stop getting help.

Not only do your mind and body scream for help, but you also end up in the worst situation where you are misunderstood by those around you. *cries*

Complaining feels like a bad thing, doesn't it?

But I want you to think about it for a moment.

We are working really hard every single day.

I think saying 'I'm tired' because you've worked too hard is just a way of expressing your limits.

So, it's not a bad thing, and it's okay to express your struggles.

Because it's many times harder to be unable to express your struggles than it is to actually express them.

Please consider letting out the emotions you've been suppressing.

When you want to express your struggles, regardless of the outcome of what you've done,

I think it's a message from yourself saying, 'Please cherish yourself more for working hard,' and 'Please pay more attention to yourself for working hard.'

If you think of it that way, you might feel it's okay to cherish yourself more.

If you don't have anyone to vent to, it's a good idea to write it down on paper. You might feel anger, but whatever emotions come out, please accept them without denying them.

Because that is also a part of who you are.

It is important to think about the people around you, but
you also want to take care of your own maintenance.
