Sometimes a person’s words are based in societal disapproval, while other times they are envy and judgment cloaked as concern. Both are painful—more so when support is expected, but not received. Tune them out and continue on the path of your heart. Most who strike out on their own encounter this along the way. Yet, you will only regret the things you did not do. You’ve got this 😊 You have a special talent for thoughtful discernment and sharing insights and knowledge—and drawing like-minded people to you. ❤️

I choose to reframe it - to be an outlier in any form in life is to do things that others either can’t or won’t do so the criticism is in itself proof that the path you’re taking is a unique one and indicates you’re doing the right thing rather than the wrong one. I’d be more concerned with a lack of criticism

People who love or care a lot about their privacy might worry you having a public career might have risks for you.

I can relate to this so much. I feel the same way about hearing people out who have good intentions. But it does wear you down long-term and it can be a challenge to not let people eventually beat it out of you. For me, surrounding myself with others in that space doing the same thing really helped me mentally. In thay space we are all working towards similar goals and various stages of success. It is a very positive and encouraging space which counteracts all the negativity on the other side. I did also find it necessary to eventually get firm, but kind with certain people who would insist on repeating their viewpoint at every interaction, especially if it was emotionally charged or a tad aggressive. Beyond a certain point it really is being unreasonable and unkind to badger people about their choices. I find a bit of humor helps them not to take offense to it.

Thank you, this helped me a lot because I’m going through the same thing as I decided to compete in beauty pageants and many of my friends are in disagreement but at the end of the day, I’m not harming anyone and it’s making me feel fulfilled and happy so cheers to doing what feels right to us 👏🏻

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am in the same boat with a family member of mine. And I am trying so hard to navigate it with grace and decency and respect, but this person used to be so close to me that this whole thing just makes me angry. It makes me angry that they judge me, that they criticize me, that they look down on me. And I’m not an angry person. I’m obviously hurt, but navigating the anger that comes with it has been a whole new challenge for me.

I'm guessing you're an intellectualiser, as am I. We can analyse, identify and rationalise arguments and emotions. But not everyone ideserves equal consideration. A "shortcut" I've recently adopted to help me break this cycle of over-intellectualising is: don't accept criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from. Listen to your allies. Everyone else gets a polite, "thank you" as you walk away.

As someone that is in an interracial relationship and Cross religion relationship, this theme has been huge in my life for the last year. My biggest piece of advice is to take a step back and listen to your heart, sometimes you need to place boundaries with the people that you love the most simply because they don’t understand ❤️

Unfortunately, no one is more envious and more jealous than some of those in your innermost circle. ⭕️be careful what you share. Be careful who you include and don’t tell anybody what you’re doing until it’s done but since I follow you, I would say except for your sister and your mother. 😊 they seem to celebrate you I celebrate you.

People generally love being right about things. Emotionally charged people with bad intentions love saying “I told you so”. As soon as someone breaks the mould or does something that requires courage and perhaps something that has a higher chance of failing than something that is “normal”, people like this might see it as “low hanging fruit” and an easier chance to say “I told you so”, therefore (in their eyes) looking smarter than you who dared. Of course they love the positive outcome, because they’ll try to get their piece of the cake and be nice about it, sometimes even backtrack on what they said, but these aren’t people you should surround yourself with. Think about it, things that are “normal” in society are safer. The chances of failing are smaller, there’s enough positive evidence, and that’s why everyone does it. Keep going Leonie, don’t let the haters get you down! Es Grüessli us de Schwiiz ☺️

I had this with my father that didnt believe i could become a doctor or finish medical school. I am now starting my final year in med school. So i liked this video. This might help anyone going through it. For me what helped was to think that my destiny is in between my hands and «didnt listen to them».

Please just continue to follow your path. People who don’t support you may have multiple reasons for it, but your dream is your dream. 🫶

I had to learn who has *access* to my concern, trust and availability. Understanding their motives matters, but also you cannot be expected to accommodate every opinion, or take the time to address everyone’s concerns to help them understand. Feedback is valuable, until it’s not from a source that has your best interests at its core - then access is denied so you can flourish appropriately, with the right people. Structure is so important. 🙏🏻💕

I remind myself “It’s not my business what others think of me.” I’ve started shutting down conversations where people start to criticize as well. I understand it’s so hard with family and people you love to just cast their opinions aside. Of course, we have some we want to hear their insights and opinions, however this is your life. “I love you, but let’s change the subject or I’m going to walk away. I will only say it once.” I hope this helps. Sending hugs. If you can listen to people and you’re okay with that, great, but if you can’t mentally…don’t.

For you specifically like how is the modern role as a baroness supposed to look like? Ofc its adapting. Being there for the people like a big sis to look up to and learn and get inspired by, this is the best platform. Ofc i believe all baronesses would be on social media if it existed historically. So just do you!❤️
