Don't Let These 4 Things Affect You.

 Don't let these 4 things affect you:

1) UNSOLICITED OPINIONS OF PEOPLE WHO BARELY KNOW YOU

Often times the people who say they don't like to be judgmental are the ones who are most guilty of it. Not unusual. But please don't let their opinions color the way you think of yourself. What people think of others is mostly a reflection of what they think of their own selves. If they don't like themselves, they try to bring you down to their own level in their heads because they know they can't do it any other way. 

2) LACK OF SUPPORT FROM PEOPLE YOU THOUGHT WERE VERY CLOSE TO YOU

You will find a lot of friends around you when you're hitting a low. But very few people who will be there to support you when you're trying to create something of your own and need their help. Let that act as an eye opener. Don't let it break your heart. People like to shower sympathy because it makes them feel like they are in a much better place. Value the people who are 'always' there for you. They constitute your tribe.

3) CRITICISM

There's a difference between constructive criticism and being downright nasty. Learn to spot the difference. Work on the former, disregard the latter. If someone is being unnecessarily mean, it is just their inner bitterness lashing out at you. They cannot make themselves happy which is why they go around making other people sad. That's easier, right? All you can do is pity them. 

4) PEOPLE NOT LIVING UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS

It might be a friend, a significant other, a family member, anyone. You might often feel like your emotions are not being reciprocated. But remember, how other people behave is completely beyond your control. If you let them affect you, your mental peace will be at their mercy. Don't let that happen. If someone truly cares for you, they will make time for you, they will let you know you are important. They won't keep you on hold.

Hope you're having a nice day! ❤
