stop worrying what everyone else thinks

I am constantly worrying about what people think or what they say constantly saying about me.. my goal is not to worry anymore, it doesn’t matter because I can not change how one feels towards me as long as I’m being myself thats all that matters!

I was a very good kid for my mom and dad. And now, I cant be myself. I dont know how to be myself. I think that I have to be nice, smart, even I want to be a perfect .(its a stupid idea, I know…)
I always worry what people think about me.
I have realized that I often said ‘sorry’ even I didnt do anything wrong.

I hate trying to fit in because its what everyone else thinks I should do. or if i do something i hate that i care what people think of me doing it

I always like to think I am above other people but the truth is I crave acceptance. I hate it when I percieve someone is cross with me or I may have spoken out of turn. This means I really care what people think. Something happened last night which brought it home to me that I have to rise above it. A ‘friend’ decided to tell me how silly he thought I was being about a certain situation & was taking the piss about something I sm planning to do. The more I think about it now the angrier it makes me, who is he to judge or tell me what to do. I went to the funeral of a colleague the other day & it really made me realise that you have to try & open your mind & live how you want & stick your fingers up at everyone else. I am fed up of being judged about the way I look, behave etc as I don’t think I do that bad a job!!

I think I’ve done a great job at this goal. 2006 was a great year of growth for me. I gained confidence in myself and what I wanted. I feel like a different woman this year. I stopped caring about the opinions of others and have come into my own. I love my personality, my mind. It seemed I was always looking for approval from others. Last year showed me that I’m not that way at all anymore. I’ve found a great balance.

Here’s to hoping 2007 will bring more of the same!
