To You Who Are Suffering from Being Swayed by Others' Evaluations - A Letter from Wakaba-chan

You are the one who knows best what you have done.

Hello! It's Wakaba-chan🍀
This time, I have something I want to share with everyone whofeels depressed thinking "I have no value"
due to other people's reactions/evaluations,
including my own experiences.🌱

  there is a message from Wakaba-chan,so please be sure to read it.🌿
  

Wakaba-chan's Experience

Actually, Wakaba-chan has had times where I wondered if I had no value...

In the past, when I posted a video that took about 2-3 months to make,there was no reaction, and I thought,
"No matter how hard I try, is the video I made not worth reacting to?"I ended up thinking that.

This didn't change even when I got a good reaction.When someone asked what kind of video I made and I showed it to them,
they said, "That's amazing! That's a really great video!" and even though I was praised,

I didn't feel like I had been praised.

🌱Why didn't I feel like I had been praised even though I was?

I finally got a video I worked hard on praised and recognized, so I thought about why I didn't feel like I had been praised.

It was because "I didn't recognize the video I made!"
I realized that the cause might be that I usually"don't unconditionally recognize myself."

🌱What happens when you don't recognize yourself?

I thought about what happens when I don't unconditionally recognize the video I made:

1. Your value is swayed by others' reactions and evaluations!

Seeing others' reactions, it becomes easy to think,"I'm no good."

2. If you don't get a good reaction, anger and sadness emerge.

"Why won't they recognize me?"You might becomeprone to being emotional.Wakaba-chan also thought that way when there was no reaction to my video.

3. Even if you get a good reaction, you can't accept it.

Even if you are praised,the feeling that "my video hasno value and I have no confidence"wins out.

Next,I will share in my own way what I thought about and wanted to tell everyone!🌿

🍀To you who are suffering from being swayed by evaluations

You are the one who knows best what you have done

It is natural to care about what others think and to have your emotions swayed by it, but that is just an evaluation from that person's perspective.

Even so, I know you probably worry about many things.
But you know,
the person who knows best what you have done and how hard you have worked to get this far is undoubtedly you yourself.

The one who has watched your efforts the most is you.
I don't think other people are able to see all of your hard work and struggles.

Therefore, I think you, who know best what you have done, could
try acknowledging what you have become able to do and how hard you have worked.

In closing
