People will be mean to you if you let them. They may not be really mean, but they just don’t have the best of intentions for you, so they will hurt you again if you let them.
Don’t let them. Don’t give anyone the privilege of bringing you down. You and only you have the keys to your fortress.
Because people can and will try to hurt you, sometimes on purpose and sometimes not. It is their choice to make you feel a certain way: that you are not worthy, that you are a failure. But it’s also your choice how you react to them, and whether you continue to let them.
You have the choice not to be attached to it, not to let it bother you. You have the option to choose how to spend your time; to decide what is worth and what is not. What will hurt you and what will bring you happiness.
Choose your emotional well-being first
It may sound like a cliché, but life is too short to waste it on people and situations that make you feel like a failure. Life is too short to waste it on people you obviously don’t want in your life. This is not understanding or love, it is abuse and self-sabotage.
Let go of those who do not serve your good
You are not responsible for the actions and nature of others. You are only responsible for your own actions and thoughts: what you allow in your life, what you think, what you regret…
Nobody can hurt you and make you feel bad without your consent. Sometimes you have to ask yourself, “Am I loving myself more?”
Because the people we spend most of our time with are the ones who shape who we are. That is why it is important to surround yourself with people with good intentions and positive. People who lift you up and inspire you to be the best version of yourself.
After all, we are all human. We are sensitive human beings, but we are also people who always want something.
So don’t let anyone make you feel unworthy. People who are mean to you usually do it because they lack something that you have. Be aware of angry people and where their anger is coming from. If it’s jealousy, stay away from them and don’t let their negativity guide you.
When you decide to let go of everything that doesn’t help you, your life will become brighter. You will feel a joy and vitality that you have never felt before. And more joy is what the world needs.
