Decentering people.
For the longest time in my life I’ve always cared about what people thought of me and I’ve always tried to make people understand my situation. But truth is no one can understand your situation better than yourself, people only allow you to be not okay if what they believe is the reason is bad enough for you to be in a bad place.
Who cares if I said I’m exhausted and burnout why do you have to bring up the fact that I don’t have kids or a family to take care of. I can feel exhausted from the things that I am dealing with it doesn’t always have to be bad to your standards.
Stop caring about people’s opinion. Some of The people you care most about wouldn’t even help you in a difficult situation or care enough to genuinely ask how you’re doing. I stopped caring about people’s opinion a long time ago when I realize no one cares, no one really wants to help me I have to figure it out myself and no one owe me any help actually. Life is tough wear a helmet, cry if you need to and then get up to do something about your situation.
