@melrobbins: I spent decades trying to be who everyone else wanted me to be. And do you know what all that effort gave me? Anxiety. Exhaustion. Zero sense of who I actually was. Here’s the truth I learned the hard way: It is so much easier to just be yourself. When you stop chasing approval and start telling the truth - even the uncomfortable truth - your life gets lighter. Your relationships get clearer. And you finally stop abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable. #melrobbins #beyourself #peoplepleasing #justbeyou
I’ve been there my entire childhood until I realized that no matter what I did, people would have their own opinions, likes and dislikes about me. If they want to be my friend, I’m here, if not, farewell. It’s hard to break the cycle but so worth it. 💜

What if you don’t know who you are? How do you even find that?

I used to do that too hahaha. Being a people pleaser and caring too much about what people say 🤣
But now I’ve stopped, and I’m happy being myself 🥰

This was me several years ago! I had the awakening after I suffered a major loss! It’s indeed liberating to yourself unapologetically

Same. It’s a shame I wasted most of my life trying to please others and make sure they were happy. Now to notice it didn’t matter to any of them. That now that I am a “no” person those same people tell me I have anger and attitude problems. Like huh? I’m just tired of being the hotel for everyone. Do it all yourself. I’m waiting to see if they can survive. I really have forgotten what I like and don’t like and how to go and do things by myself. I’m actually afraid to go by myself. I have to get mad at myself to get out of the house lol. Ugh. I am tired

I have a coworker that talks to me and others like an absolute dog and I CANNOT for the life of me figure out why I can’t just let it not bother me. Other people are able to just say nothing and move on but I can’t. I would probably be much happier if I could,but I can’t understand the need to make someone feel inferior.
