break negative cycle | fear of rejection

One of the most helpful ways to break negative patterns is freewriting to answer our questions or discover a point that causes problems.

Today I was writing about negative thoughts that trap me in a negative cycle. I discovered that fear of rejection is the most powerful reason that forces me to shrink my true identity to fit others. Unfortunately, this pattern has damaged my self-confidence. I get worried about how others may judge me.

Sometimes, this devastating voice stops me from setting boundaries in my relationships and makes me overthink about how others will interpret my words or my personality. Now it’s time to stop being a people-pleaser and be brave enough to put my needs and like myself first.
