I picked up this book the other day called “The courage to be disliked”. The amount of anxiety that often comes from wanting to people please and make sure whatever I’m doing isn’t going to upset anyone else is a big part of healing my mental health right now. Yes I believe being kind and compassionate to others is a fundamental part of life but not when it begins surpass your own mental well being and peace of mind. That doesn’t mean being rude or careless but rather firm and confident in yourself and your choices. Choosing yourself comes first even if that means being disliked by some. 🤍
