People are starting to recognize themselves in my articles.

I often struggle to say things in a way that matches the inside language of people… How they say it to themselves.

For example this whole idea of the swinging back and forth between the delusional and the devalued opinion of yourself…

It’s really like the seesaw, but not quite. You see, on a seesaw there is also another person, and whether you are up or down depends not so much on your value, ability, what have you, but on the comparison. That is good. You are better than some people and worse than other people.

No, I am talking about when you have no one to compare yourself with… you just feel that you are no good, and then at other times you feel like you are the best. And neither of these is true.

The happiest people are the people where there is no distance between the two extremes, who know, approximately, where they are on the continuum and work with what they have.
