He calls it meta-awesomeness, and argues it takes two ingredients that only work together: self-awareness, which is the ability to judge your own behavior from the outside, and vulnerability, which is saying it out loud to someone else. He shows what the combination does inside a relationship, where admitting a pattern you cannot yet fix builds more trust than hiding it ever could. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/meta-awesomeness Quotes to ponder: "The minute someone acknowledges their flaws, not only do we forgive them for it, but we actually come to like that flaw." "Knowing that you're not always awesome counter-intuitively makes you more awesome." "Vulnerability with self-awareness gives others a crystal-clear access to who you are and what makes you unique and interesting, warts and all."

She explains why avoidance costs more energy than the task itself, and how a supportive person who is not carrying your story about yourself can see a paralyzing problem as the clerical matter it actually is. She closes with the question she puts to clients who insist they should be able to handle it alone: how can I make this easier? Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.tonyalester.com/blog/deal-with-anxiety-by-making-a-dread-list Quotes to ponder: "Unfinished business creates open loops of anxiety that slowly drain you of energy and contentment, and hurt your ability to focus and be present." "Long-term avoidance is paradoxically really hard work!" "At the end of your life, you won't have points detracted based on how many times you had to ask for help."

He argues the honest answer is both, explains how a young adult's fear and a parent's fear trigger each other, and marks where situational stress ends and a treatable disorder begins. He closes with five ways to offer help a resistant young adult can actually accept, including partnering on a task instead of doing it for them. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentslettinggo.com/is-your-young-adult-suffering-from-anxiety-or-failure-to-launch/ Quotes to ponder: "Is her failure to launch and dependency on her parents causing her mental health problems, or are the mental health problems at the root of her failure to launch?" "Depression or anxiety and fears of further failure can arise and lead to a level of inaction bordering on paralysis." "Let them know being independent is considering their options, making decisions, and asking for help."
