Happinesses is from within! But someone can make you very sad abd unhappy with their words and actions

[Guest User]

I’ve woke up with the thought this morning that I have a happy heart! And that happiness is within! But I felt sad because of words that was spoken and because of direct actions which made me instantly unhappy, no questions asked!
Anyone been in such conundrum?

[zy****]

Yes. And again and again and again.
Until I stopped caring about strangers opinions.

 

I defined an inner cirlce of people I care about. These are the only people I allow to hurt me.

 

If some stranger dares to be unfriendly, I just exclude him from my life and move on.

Well done on that inner circle! That is one thing that I crave! To be accepted without judgement! For what I want to share and who I want to be! Just to be me!

[Ar****]

Don’t look for acceptance from others. I craved that too and being an artist, it felt necessary, not anymore! Accept yourself first, the way you are! They aren’t gonna do that.

I totally agree that you should not let other's opinions or actions get you down. Something can of corse be hurtful, but you shouldn't let it dim your light ✨ I try to think that other people's bad behaviour or actions say more about them and their own problems. What they think about me is none of my business and should therefore not have that strong of an effect on me, especially when they are strangers or at least not good friends. 

I read somewhere that if you wouldn't go to a person for advice, you shouldn't let their opinion matter - and definitely not bring you down! 🌈

It's about differentiating between constructive feedback and hate/jealousy.

If I don't really know someone, I always question his/her credibility.

If I get constructive feedback, I take it and I'm thankful. But if I get a hate comment for no explained reason, I can't take it seriously.

Nowadays, such a comment would even amuse me a little bit, because I imagine, how a person would have nothing better to do than investing time and effort try and hurt someone with such a cheap and unsubstantiated comment

 

@Aryaan is right. Respect yourself and just be who you want to be, because you can.

Haters can comment, but they can't stop you if you are convinced of yourself.
