I just wish...

[spicy_pickles]

I could be confident, have high self-esteem, not let things bother me, worry more about myself and let things I can’t control go...stop trying to make others happy. Not worry about making someone else angry. 

I am luckily surrounded by extremely confident females where I work. They don’t care what anyone thinks of them. They are strong but friendly. They don’t take any shit from anyone. When I mentioned to them some of the things that happened in my life or how others treated me, they had similar situations where they simply brushed it off. They won’t put up with someone disrespecting them.  They won’t put up with poor behaviour.  They don’t need the approval of ANYBODY to feel good.  They don’t need to put on a show or go out of their way to make someone happy.  

I’m struggling so hard with these things!  I do enjoy helping and being there for people, but I reach a limit and need to just do things for myself.  I value the opinions of others far too much.  My happiness is dependent on their happiness, whether or not they choose me, etc.  

It has to stop.
