Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I feel that different people have different types of nature. For example, holding a pen to write. There is a difference between people holding a pen and writing. I always assume that it determines my knowledge of mine. If I hold a pen like my class topper, I assume that I will become a topper too. I want to get rid of this thought. How can I overcome this problem?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concerns. Although we assume in one or the other way, it is not like that. The fact is, first someone becomes a topper, and successful, and then his style is appreciated leading to wider recognition. We as a society focus more on successful people and try to imitate them in the way of writing or dressing, but it is not the style that makes somebody a topper. It is hard work and intelligence that makes you a topper. I mean to say that things are in a different order. Like, a successful person leads to the identification of his style. So, you definitely need to get into how you can achieve something rather than trying to imitate others. Do not have much spare time to engage in these thoughts and have some work, which helps you in achieving something. Whenever you are alone, try to connect with friends and family. Use the STOP technique. Just say stop loudly when you feel there are excessive thoughts.
Thank you.
