Your needs are as important as anyone elses.
You are human just like everyone else.
There is a limit to the sacrifices and compromises you’ve got the option to make.
Evan Kirby

Making excuses for other people
Stop rationalizing bad behavior by others towards you.
Dont make excuses for putting up with poor treatment.
Some people will be mean and manipulative by taking advantage of your kindness.
Dont keep giving them chances to exploit your empathy for their own gains.
Keeping the peace at all costs
You may be peace-loving but sometimes you oughta fight back.
Choose to assert yourself even if you hate confrontation.
If you allow yourself to be walked over on, some people may mistake your niceness for weakness.
Not expressing what you really feel
Express, express, express.
As long as you are not intentionally harming anyone, say what you really feel.
You dont always have to be polite for fear of rocking the boat.
Trying to be perfect
Get in touch with your authentic self.
Tap into your innermost thoughts and emotions.
Stop putting others on a pedestal while you beat yourself up over your own flaws.
Accept your weaknesses, and remind yourself that no one can be perfect all the time.
Making everyone happy
Stop trying to like everyone.
You cant make everyone happy.
Stop caring what others think of you, and do the right thing.
Stop letting anyone project their own insecurities onto you.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
End the vicious cycle of victim-perpetrator by stepping out of it.
Assuming that the world is a fair place
Stop living in denial and face the reality of the situation.
Dont let your naivety and excessive idealism blind you from seeing the truth.
Stop letting anyone make you feel guilty for turning them down.
Putting others needs before your own

Thinking that you are not enough
You are worthy of all the wonderful things that life has to offer.
As long as you strive to become a better person every day, you are good enough.
