Dissociative amnesia is when you can’t remember important information about yourself. These memories are often distressing or upsetting events. It’s most likely to happen with severe or long-term trauma, especially experiencing abuse, neglect or violence of any kind. This condition is treatable, and most people can regain their memories.
This is my first time sharing some of myself reflections, i hope that my sharing these i might help someone else on this planet to look to things from a different perspective.
The following self reflection is about my fear on meeting new people outside of a work setting.
[Situation]
I have a irrational fear for meeting new people outside of work.
I think that this fear stems from:
- Past hardships
- That i think i need someone to introduce me to new people
- I am afraid of disrupting the flow of the group or person i am trying to meet
[Effect]
This causes me to isolate myself from others, making the root cause of this issue worse
[Analysis]
The fear of the unkown is rooted deep within us.
While it shields us from danger, it also inhibits change
- Past hardships are outside of my control, and therefore Irrelevant
- Noone will introduce me on their own, the only way i can overcome this issue is by introducing myself
- It is inevitable that my introduction will disrupt the flow of the group or individual, but i will never meet new people unless i do
What i control in this situation:
- How i present myself
- Where i go to meet new people
- Who i approach
- How i process the meeting(My judgement on the meeting and or perception)
What is outside of my control and thus irrelevant:
- The state of mind of the other person or group
- Their response to my introduction
- Rejection(However i do control how i process this and my perception of this rejection)
- Who they are with
- Their preconception of me
- How they interpret my first impression
[Conclusions]
- Rejections are part of fate "Amor Fati" accept fate for you cannot control it, It is part of life, fate is outside of our control therefore the fear of rejection is irrelevant and should not become or be an obstacle to our own development
- Past setbacks and hardships are compasses that lead to the development of personal growth and virtues
- As they are an unknown to me, i am to them, I can control my own fear, not theirs, The most logical step is to take the initiative, break the ice for i have control of my own fear
[Closing thoughts]
- Taking the first step is up to me, my situation will not change unless i take that step and introduce myself
- How they feel or think is outside of my control
- Nothing will change unless i expose myself to this irrational fear.
Writing down my thoughts, meditating on them and then rationalizing them has given me a new perspective on this issue, and i cannot wait to meet new people.
The key concept at play here is: The Dichotomy of control, letting go of that which you cannot influence and instead focussing on that which you can.

Go to! Cast dust on those deaf skies, who spurn
Thy orisons and bootless prayers, and learn
To quaff the cup, and hover round the fair;
Of all who go, did ever one return?
Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Bod. # 97 [tr. Whinfield (1883), # 267]

"Standing up to #fascism means being brave, and helping each other survive. To do that, we have to know how to build trust with others, sometimes quickly. And we have to become trustworthy — checking out our own motivations and behaviors, looking for where the twisted norms of our society have seeped into us, and working to align our actions more with our liberatory values."
