I can't show myself

Nice to meet you. My name is Tommy and I go to a university in Tokyo. I'm in first grade.

I was bullied in the past in elementary and middle school, and even after it was resolved, I couldn't understand people around me and got carried away, and since I started going to high school, I began to behave cheerfully in order to change myself.

However, even now, I am unable to show my weaknesses to people or confide my dim true nature and worries to others.

I have many friends at university, but I can't confide in others the stress and sadness I feel during them.

It's horrible to be denied, or even if not, to be thrown out, and left alone.

I'm always laughing, so I just got better at making up laughter, and I couldn't get angry or cry.

I lied about myself even to my family, and I finally got time alone, and even though I wanted to cry at that time, I stopped crying.

There are so many things that are sad and infuriating.

However, I can't find words to express it anymore, and I can't speak as it is, and I can't honestly do it even if I want to do it.

I trust people and want to ask for help. I want you to stay with me even if my sadness and anger don't go away.

How on earth can I ask for help from others, and how should I be satisfied?

Thank you for your support.

The countryside is nice.

Hello.

I'm a monk living in the countryside.
If it's my image,
There are many people in the city who want to become something.
To do something more than people,
I have to show myself.

But the aunts in my neighborhood
Nice weather.
It's warm today.
the rainbow is beautiful, isn't it?
Relationships are formed through such conversations.
There is a place where people can communicate without self-promotion or even if they don't just care about themselves.

While I'm in college for a few years, I need to come to terms with my current life,
It's not a bad idea to travel to the countryside when you're thinking about your future career path, or when you're on a long vacation.

The person the boy spits out with

Hello. A lot of things happened, but now I'm somehow getting along well with people around me. It must have taken quite a bit of effort. That was tough.
Not all denominations are the same, but let me talk about it from the standpoint of the Jodo sect.
Our sect, the Jodo sect, was founded in the Kamakura period by a person named Honen-san. In terms of textbooks, I think it's an explanation of the extent that “if you recite nembutsu, you will pass away in paradise after death,” but of course that's not all. There is a premise, a view of humanity, that is not included in that sentence.
It means “we are all ordinary people.” Buddhism basically teaches you to “throw away your worries,” but “but you can't do that!” It's “chant Nembutsu” to people (I think).
It's the same even if you're a boy. I live with all kinds of complaints every day.
What I was taught there was, “If you have any complaints, tell your ancestors. Complain to the Buddha. They will listen to any, even the worst complaints. Anything is fine, even if you speak ill of it. Please be sure to listen to everything.” It's something like that. The chances of being denied and thrown out are zero.
When I try this, it works surprisingly well. Humans seem to have different things between the desire to “give out” of “wanting to be heard and accepted” and the “desire to let in” of “wanting to tell me, wanting to listen.” And surprisingly, it looks like a creature I want to show off. In a sense, I even wonder if I work in the morning and “put it out” along with the sutras.
So, if you have a Buddhist altar in your house, it's best to complain to that Buddha or your ancestors, but if that doesn't come true, go here at hasunoha. There are many people who have wisdom to answer specific matters with a specific point of view and method.

Stop thinking “how”

Tommy

It's a difficult situation.

When I was in elementary and middle school, I was bullied
Even after it was resolved, it floated because I couldn't understand it with those around me

I tried to behave cheerfully.

then this time they just tried to behave cheerfully
Show people your weaknesses or your dim nature and worries
I can't confide in people anymore.

As far as I can listen to Tommy's circumstances
I think they had no choice but to behave cheerfully.

and
“How on earth can I ask for help from others, and how should I be satisfied? ”

I mean

What I think
I think it's about stopping this “how” thought.
If you unravel the reason Tommy is suffering

Because they are trying to behave cheerfully
I'm suffering because I can't say my true intentions

Why are you trying to behave cheerfully

Honestly speaking

“It's horrible to be denied, or even thrown out, to be alone.”

That's because I think so.

Tommy doesn't want to be alone
Behaving brightly
And I have a lot of friends
I can't communicate with anyone.

It's about being aware of this paradoxical fact.

If you live
If you have a good time,
Because it can be a tough time
It doesn't have to be bright all the time.

and
What if I tell them what I really feel

There are people who deny it and push it away
There are also people who nod and accept it.
You don't have to have many friends.
With someone who conveys your true intentions and accepts them
We should be friends.

Don't behave brightly
What you think and what you feel
I think it's about communicating honestly.

The truth right in front of 10 friends, 1 best friend, 1 best friend

A festival where you're being pampered or just having fun on the surface is just plain fun, and there's nothing in it.
Humans are ultimately one-on-one.
Furthermore, I think things out of my mind about my opponent.
Furthermore, I got over my own feelings about my partner, and I got along properly with people.
Really try hanging out one-on-one with your real self without making characters.
It's hard while I'm performing.
Even though I'm my best friend, I only see each other once a year.
What is more important than a best friend is that you face yourself and stop putting your own thoughts on things, relationships, and circumstances.
I'm definitely the one who thinks that I'm no good, or that I'm alone, what should I do.
That's my opinion.
Please see through when you are young that this thought is always hurting you.
It's too late after grandpa becomes a grandmother; it's getting stiff.
If you are young and have a delicate sensibility, you should be able to be sensitive to your own thoughts.
If there is something that you think is true, please read the other articles.

You've probably lost sight of yourself

What am I?
I don't want to lose my friends. They are probably living a lifestyle that prioritizes that thought, lost sight of what they are, and it has become a way of life that prioritizes thoughts.
Friends aren't something you have to have. People are people. Each has its own way of life. There's no right or wrong there.

I mean, look at yourself in a quiet place. The trees and sky I saw with my eyes. Cries from the nose, the smell of dirt, sounds of birds, sounds of wind, sounds of life, etc. heard through the ears. And what you feel on your skin, temperature, etc.
A fact you've all felt through your body.

It doesn't make me think or think about it. It's probably something you've lived while feeling unknowingly since you were born until now. Thoughts such as friends or that one person is lonely have not been added to that. You must be reminded that it's just a delusion that you're thinking about in your head.

If you feel lonely, it's probably because you're looking at things with your thoughts rather than facts yet. If you live for the truth, you will surely be saved. You can live honestly. That is learning Buddhism.
