stop saying I'm sorry for things that I don't need to be sorry about

I mean every word I say now, and I only say the things I mean. :]

I want to stop doing this cos it’s driving me and everybody I know nuts. I’m pretty sure I know why I do it – it’s to somehow keep on the ‘right’ side of people. If I’m going to be really hard on myself I think it’s basically weak self-occupied people-pleasing behavior. Bottom line – be confident in myself and accept myself for who I am. Meet my own needs rather than subconsciously expecting other people to do it for me. I’m going to affirm every day that I’m ok & really open my eyes and heart to others. Every time I feel myself about to apologise I’m going to stop, and look for a positive thought or action I can do instead. And trust that when I stop overdoing ‘sorry’ and accept myself that everything will be okay.

i did it. i stuck up to the one person in my life who means the most to me. i did it. i yelled at him until i had nothing left inside me. i feel like im going to throw up, but i also feel awesome. i feel…accomplished. all the feelings ive kept bottld up inside just came pouring out and i couldn’t stop. he had nothing to say to me when i was done…just sat there…but he says everything would be better…he says he’ll fix it.

again with the confidence that i still do not posess…
