It’s not easy. I often worry about what others think of me or the situation instead of focusing on what I need or what I think. I get it.

It’s a work in progress. We can still be kind and cordial and yet not bend backwards for people when it’s completely unnecessary and those aren’t even deserving people. All we can do is learn from our mistakes and do better next time

I think it’s coming from how we were brought up. We think if we bend backwards and subjugate ourselves, people will like and respect us. But in reality it’s the opposite, people don’t like and respect those who don’t respect themselves. Focusing on making other people liking us gets us no where. We all learn it at some point, not an easy lesson
