How I Stopped Caring About ‘What Others Think of Me’ & Becoming the Best Version of Myself
Since the day I started understanding the human language that is supposed to keep us connected, I have been hearing some of the sentences on the loop which are:
a) If only you were a little fair, you would have looked so good
b) If you were more intelligent, you would have a brighter future
c) If you were a little more confident, you would have achieved so much and
So many more such ‘if’ and ‘would have’ that was quite a big part of my childhood. From childhood till my graduation, I was always determined by ‘what others think of me’
When I was a little girl, I was compared by my relatives based on how I looked and my grades. And when I was in college, I was gaining my confidence back but I was constantly at the target. Apparently, in college, people used to say that I am rude because I don’t talk much and if I used to interact with any of the guys in class, I was given names that I don’t even want to write.
Result?
Well, surely during childhood with all those comparisons and regular comments, I had lost my confidence to even think I mattered but gradually when I started gaining back my confidence, I was pulled back into that dark tunnel…
