A lesson to learn : Don’t rel...

10 Replies

A lesson to learn : Don’t rely on other people to make you happy . Some people say ‘since I found so and so my depression or anxiety seems to be much better’ . This is so dangerous .. If that person leaves then will you be even more worse than before?

If everything you do is related to that person...

Everything you say relates to that person

Your likes dislikes change to fit that person

Your friends relate to that person...

Then what do you have left if that person goes?

Build your own happiness and own peace.. 💕 don’t put your life in other peoples hands.

That’s okay x it’s something that’s so easy for us to do while we’re struggling and losing ourselves in life isn’t it x

When we don't value ourselves, we leave ourselves open to depending on others for our validation. It is so easy to do, especially if you're depressed. This truism is something we need to keep at the forefront of our minds. Your reminder is so needed by all of us. Thank you

I find that to be the case also with coworkers. I worked with two guys that constantly talked about other people behind their backs. I work in a technical field and they belittled others skills. I figured they did the same with me. It used to bother me and I would feel that my skills were not up to par. I finally realized that it didn't matter what they thought of me or others. Why give other people that power? I'm sure they didn't care what others thought of them.
