advice that has literally saved and improved my life

Allow people to like you, to enjoy your company, to want to be your friend. Allow them to compliment you, allow others to think you're cool and funny even if you think you're not. It is not up to you to tell others how to feel, and remember that people might see the positive things in you and qualities that you have been failing to see while being too self-critical. Allow yourself to be liked by other people, even when you don't see why they should. Don't self-isolate because you think you are not good enough for other people.

I’m not meant for chaos. I don’t resonate with raised voices, constant tension, or unnecessary back and forth. I don’t welcome anger in my spirit or anything that pulls me away from who I am at my core. I am gentle. I am loving. I move with intention. If something disturbs my peace or shifts me into negativity, it no longer has a place in my life.
