Proud of myself because
proud of myself because I made up my mind that I would stop letting what people think of me affect my life. I used to let everyone's opinion of me affect me and it made me more happy and enjoy life more because I made that decision.
I meant my decision to not let people affect my life made me more happy and enjoy life more
Never let anyone's petty criticism effect how you live your life. You'rea rebuilt transmission in a 2010 Chevy Blazer, a few years old, but a whole new person .. those people who said things before that bothered you .. well they're like an old, rusty '89 Plymouth Reliant K that still needs a front end alignment! :) (I can't help but compare humans to cars b/c I'm a mechanic, but I think it's a good analogy!)
Very wise choice.I always try to do the same, but sometimes when it comes to my anxiety and so on, there are some who don't understand and criticize. When many people say similar things like that it really does get to me. That's why I am so happy to be on this website and a part of this community. I just wish there were times when I could just ignore what is said and get on with things without letting people affect me. Sometimes I can and I feel the same as you do now and sometimes it is a little more difficult :/
