Something that l've learned as l've gotten older, and something I'm actually still learning to put into practice is boundaries. I grew up not being friends with many people, and in turn became a people pleaser. Not an easy habit to break; when you feel like you've disappointed someone, it causes you to view yourself in a different (usually worse) way. Let me say this, if it doesn't benefit you or your health, mental or physical? It has to go, period.
Saying "no" is something I'm working on, but when I say no to something that isn't beneficial to me in any way, I might think about the other persons feelings, but I feel powerful knowing I stood up for me and what I believe in.
