We live in a most complicated world. Complicated in the sense that some life struggles and terrible situations of life have made a lot of people have only faith in themselves and their ability to guard and protect their minds, hope for a better tomorrow and be positive.
Life has happened to so many people in such a way that a lot of them have almost given up on life or have chosen to only exist and not to live. If you understand the true nature of human being, especially when it comes to emotions and emotional trauma, you will realize that a lot of people you see on the road or in the working and business places are going through so much in life which only the clothes they put on their body, the smiles they wear on their faces have help them to cover up a little; yes, just a little.
In this blog post, we are going to look deep into the life struggles and daily challenges which human beings go through every day and how they can also deal with them so as to lead a better and happier life.
Pretending to be okay around others

Almost everyone now, if not everyone, actually lives in pretense. Life is generally so painful, and this is a truth that almost all of us find so difficult to talk about. Oh, okay… so you don’t know that there is a heavy and deep inner pain behind every smile you see on anybody’s face today? Don’t be deceived, haven’t you heard that the rich also cry? The life struggle is so real that not many people have been able to hide and pretend that it doesn’t exist.
Let me open your eyes to the fact that people are going through a lot. They are going through a lot of life struggles, but still chose to put on a smile on their faces so that people will not know what they are going through, and you already know the reason for this. Maybe you don’t know, right? Okay, let me remind you. You know, every one of us has someone who is always putting their ear to the ground to hear about their downfall, sometimes it could even be a family member. So, this is why a lot of people are hiding their pains and struggles, so that the people who are hoping and praying for their downfall will not laugh at them.
Overthinking Every Little Thing

There are a few categories of people who are always very conscious of whatever they do and whatever they get themselves involved with. This set of people is very much interested in maintaining their integrity and keeping to their words. They have a fear of making mistakes or being judged. Again, they can be so trustworthy, and they are also very much scared of anything that will bring stain to their names. These are the overthinkers. One of the most interesting characteristics of these people is that they always pay attention to the details.
So, this set of people will always overthink everything. They always experience constant mental noise and emotional stress, and of course, we all know that overthinking can really drain someone’s energy. Always overthinking everything already feels like a struggle on its own. To be honest. Overthinking everything can drain so much energy away from you till you, the overthinker, begin to see and feel it as a real struggle. This is actually one of the major life struggles which some people experience every day.
Feeling Lonely Even Around People

This is why I mentioned it in my introduction that a lot of people are going through a lot every day. Sometimes you see people putting a beautiful smile on their faces, but do not be deceived by the smile. The truth is that a whole lot is going on with that person, and you may never know or even suspect till they open up to you. It is when they open up to you that you will now understand that your situation is even lighter than their own.
Now this brings me to the main point I want to stress: Life’s terrible situations and daily life struggles can actually bring someone to a very degenerating and terrible psychological condition. Some people have been dealt with by life to the extent that they are now moving around every day just like shadows of themselves. This is why I personally advise that you should mind how you deal with the people you see on the road every day. A lot of them are already halfway gone. You think they are actually sitting in the same place as you, but you don’t know they are feeling all alone and are not really aware that they are sitting in the midst of people. Let us all be guided, please.
Carrying Family Pressure and Expectations
In my previous blog post, I stressed family conditional love. Some people today have come to a point in their lives where it has become so obvious to them that they have to work so hard on their own, no matter what the situation or circumstances they are going through, in order to earn the love of their family members. They go ahead to carry family pressure and expectations to feel loved by their own family members.
When I say family members, I’m referring to even the parents themselves… in most cases, some of the parents would always want to place their own children in such a place where they can only see love as to be so conditional. So, they now understand that the only way anyone in the family could love them is by carrying the family pressure and expectations all by themselves. And you know what? They already know that this is the only way they can be regarded and also be respected by their own family.
Summary
I want us to understand that people go through a lot every day. As a matter of fact, most people have gotten to a point in their daily life struggles that they no longer talk about them. To protect their health and certainty. And I also want to believe that this blog post has reminded you once again to learn to be kind and gentle to humanity. Please learn to use kind words on your fellow human being because just like yourself, a lot of people are also going through worse situations than the one you are in right now. So be kind and gentle in the way you relate to people you see every day. Most of them are going through real-life struggles and silent battles.


Just WOW 😲 !
Sure Sir! this blog thought me a lot of things and guided me on how to relate with people around me.
This is raw fact. People are going through a lot especially in this country.
May God lift the burdens on our shoulders and grant us peace of mind. Amen
Thank you Gloria baby. Your comment is valid.
God is the only Being that can share in your struggles. If you share with people they can make fun of you
Really inspiring💯
In Nigeria now, sadly everyone is trying so hard not to look like what they are going through
