It's like I've become a little more confident, I've become less responsive to other people's expectations, and I've just started listening to myself. And you know, it's not always easy to accept.

I used to often think that if I made everyone happy, if I was convenient and pleasant, then I would also be loved and appreciated. But that's not how it works. I started to forget about myself, about my desires, and even about simple joys. And as soon as I started to move away from this, it suddenly turned out that many people don't like it. 😏 Some people might even feel offended or forgotten. It's strange, right? After all, I wasn't offended by anyone, I just started to devote time to myself.

I realized that when you love yourself, it automatically changes your attitude to life. You start saying "no" to what's dragging you down, you start setting your own boundaries and you're no longer afraid to be yourself, even if someone doesn't like it. And, you know, this feeling of freedom is worth everything. 💪

Of course, sometimes doubts arise - what if I'm too much? What if I'm selfish? But then I quickly answer myself: no, I just started to value myself more and stopped being afraid to be honest with myself. And this changes a lot, even if someone around me doesn't agree with it.

Maybe this is what scares people - when you suddenly become yourself, truly yourself. Without masks, without games. And that's okay. It seems to me that you shouldn't wait for someone to give you the right to be yourself. You have to take this right yourself. And then you can choose who among those around you wants to walk next to you and who doesn't.

Loving yourself doesn't mean closing yourself off from others. It means being real, sincere and honest. And it even attracts those who truly value you. Even if there aren't many of them, they are really important.

I wonder, have you ever thought about how people react to those who start living for themselves? It seems to me that it often causes either envy or fear. Or even resentment. Or maybe they just don't understand that everything is different now.

I continue to learn to love myself, even if not everyone around me is happy about it. Because it's better to be yourself and be happy than to constantly try to please everyone around you and forget who you really are. And this is not about selfishness, but about self-respect. This is about feeling cozy and comfortable in your own skin.

Do you think it's difficult for most people to accept that someone suddenly starts to truly love themselves? And what happens when this happens? I'm really interested to hear your opinion.

In general, I love myself, even if sometimes it irritates others 😉 But I choose this path - it's real, and it's mine.
