Any relationship you have that could get ruined by having a conversation about your feelings, standards, and/or expectations wasn’t really stable enough to begin with.
Walking on proverbial eggshells around someone you think you want to be around isn’t allowing you to be your true, honest self.
If we have to be fake or shallow to “keep” someone in our life, we suffer by not being truly able to live!
Resentment, anger, anxiety, depression are all possible outcomes from living in such a situation.
We can feel trapped. We can feel we can’t breathe deeply. we can feel we can’t relax because we have to be on our guard.
None of these feelings are enjoyable, and all deprive us of truly living well in our own skin!
I’d prefer to be alone than with someone who I need to diminish myself to be around them.
We all make our choices, and even passive choices of choosing to stay or not to speak up are still choices which will continue to impact our lives for years to come.
I believe in making choices where I can feel I’m living up to my full potential and not down to anyone else’s views of me.
Those choices are difficult to make because they often involve endings when the other person sees no need for any changes to happen!
Are you choosing to be your real authentic self, or are you still hiding yourself?
