Re: I feel so happy :)
Sadya, everything is in your mind and one needs to control and drive the mind in that direction...... Also, have you noticed something that you are still projecting... so it's not all over, you are still in a process and you are rationalizing ... Good luck !
Re: I feel so happy :)
There is nothing abnormal about it, everyone over here regardless of their age or sex always think what others are thinking about them. People dress and act to impress other people and always wanna know what others think about them , so nothing new.
What I do is put on a CD and invite my friends or go to their place and have some good time. You know chill out be with people that you are compatible with and share some interests. Talk, sing and just let loose....3 hours of that in a week and you will forget everything. Trust me....

I know, GavriloPrincip pointed it out too… Well I already got off my pink cloud, I’m saving the ladder to climb back on it hopefully soon…
Re: I feel so happy
Or you can just sit home and watch episodes of the comedy “Friends” , heehee, just kidding!
Re: I feel so happy :)
FRIENDS is great therapy. I love that show.
Re: I feel so happy :)
Yeah, I'm hooked on it right now. I always love comedy. It always cheers you up. :) And it's a good way to relax.
When I was little, they used to air comedy's like Growing Pains and Who 's the boss? here, we all watched the Cosby Show and Some mothers do ave 'em. (my Dad still calls me Frank Spencers sister...I'm so clumsy, well thank God less now than I was while growing up!)
Oh, and what about Are you being served and You rang mylord? (oh boy, my parents would often call me Ivy too!)
Re: I feel so happy :)
sadya, F.R.I.E.N.D.S will re-run forever I have heard the fall collection won't ;)
Re: I feel so happy :)
I wish u could help my sis with this problem....she stresses too much abt wat other ppl say...and then I have to spend days and days to make her feel better...
Re: I feel so happy :)
The only person who can help your sister, is she herself. It's all in our heads. Sure, we should consider up to a certain level of what other people think, but not to the point there is nothing left of our own choices/characters.
We should be as polite as possible towards our fellow humans for example, and try to let people see the good side of Islam or Pakistan. I think things like that are important.
But we shouldn't take it as far as letting it influence our personal lifes negatively.
Your sister has to figure out who she is, what she wants to be in life. Wether it's the right thing, if it is good and nothing bad, she should not let other people make herself feel bad.
Accept yourself as you are.
You know, nowadays I've gained weight, I'm chubby and on the edge of turning really fat. Thank God I'm loosing weight again, alhamdulilah, though it is slow! But I'm ok with it.
But up to two years ago, when I was still slim, I was never happy with myself. Especially my Mom always made me feel negative about myself. I was never thin enough, my Mom wanted my hair to grow up to my feet and wasn't satisfied because they 'just' reached my knees (nowadays I've cut it in half, hehe) nothing was ever good enough, I guess she never realised the negative impact it had on me, she didn't know any better. And in later life other relatives did that to me too, they had different motives like jealousy.
It took me years to change my way of thinking and I still have some bad habits left unfortunately. I was not fat in those days, but now I am chubby and I will turn truly fat if I don't do something about it.
I've been unhappy with myself for such a long time for nothing. Looking back at photographs, I was ok and unhappy for nothing. Only thing I truly hate about my former self is that I was so naieve, looking back I can't believe what an idiot I was!
I wasted years trying to satisfy everybody in many ways. What have I gained from that? Well, I hope at least blessings from Allah insha Allah...
Anyway, others usually make yourself feel negative about yourself, about your choices for different reasons, from wanting the best for you to wanting to destroy you.
There should be a filter in our heads as to what comments we should take seriously and what comments we should ignore.
And like I said before, prayers really do help you strengthen yourself. It's not just erasing sins and earning points. They help you finding yourself, coming back to yourself. When you've found your true self it's the first step.
All those other people aren't going to take you to Heaven. Just make sure you don't insult people.

Time heals.
Re: I feel so happy
Well, you are not the only one…
Sigh
Re: I feel so happy :)
Now I'm thinking about the way you spelled F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
When they used to air M.A.S.H. here, they spelled it like that. Your joke has anything to do with M.A.S.H.?
