You donāt need anyoneās affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isnāt actually about you. Itās about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you donāt have to internalize that. Your worth isnāt contingent upon other peopleās acceptance of you - itās something inherent. You exist, and therefore, you matter. Youāre allowed to voice your thoughts and feelings. Youāre allowed to assert your needs and take up space. Youāre allowed to hold onto the truth that who you are is exactly enough. And youāre allowed to remove anyone from your life who makes you feel otherwise.
