Stop over-explaining yourself to people determined to misunderstand you
Recommended by Dylan
in response to [Hidden]
Sometimes I notice myself reverting to old people-pleasing patterns and extreme hypervigilance.
So I remind myself that it's important to practice sitting with the discomfort of the knowledge that some people may not like me or understand me.
And that's ok. It's not my job to convince them of who I am. I know who I am!

I thought younger me had bad anxiety because I didn’t like to talk, only to realize that now I’ve replaced it with over-narrating my feelings. A little confidence & surrounding yourself with the right people goes a long way 🤎

I’d like to add my spicier version: “don’t shrink yourself to become digestible for others. Let them choke.”
