How others respond

How others respond to your emotions, is their problem, not yours. Don’t apologize for having feelings.

Does this sound familiar?⁣
⁣
“What’s wrong with me?”⁣
⁣
“I’m such a baby.”⁣
⁣
No, you’re not. You’re human. You are not a robot. You have feelings. ⁣
⁣
Why does that make you broken?⁣
⁣
It doesn’t. Just because someone else is not feeling what you are feeling, does not make your feelings wrong. Less valid. Not real. ⁣
⁣
We all experience life differently and you need to be free to express your true self, without worrying what others think. ⁣
⁣
If it makes them uncomfortable, too bad! Those that truly love you for you, will love you and all your emotions, too. ⁣
⁣
How others respond to you is not your responsibility. ⁣
⁣
All you can be in this world is yourself. So do it well. ⁣
