[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had to a lot of self reflection to realize I don’t care about being a people pleaser and don’t care what others think of me. For context, I’m also an introvert. Here’s what happened: I took the advice that I could say no to anything I wanted and could stop giving an explanation on why. I did just that for so many things in my life, socially and work. It was completely freeing and I’m so much happier. I don’t feel guilt and I let it go. I have more time at work and am not a doormat. I do not go to a lot of social engagements anymore that I don’t want to. I drifted from many so called friends but I’m okay with that. I realized a lot of people in my family don’t make the same effort towards us as we do for them. I do what we can and will help my parents but completely prioritize my immediate family first, my kids and DH. [/quote]
