Don’t ever think that you have to adjust your boundaries, who you are, so that they fit the expectations of others. As we grow and learn we will adjust our own boundaries in the way that suits us and if others don’t like those boundaries or think that you are weird, old fashioned, whatever, that’s their issue, it’s not yours.
What matters the most is how you see yourself and that you are true to yourself.
Don’t compromise your own values and integrity for the comfort of others.
Don’t ever make yourself try to fit in, don’t make yourself quiet or compliant if that isn’t who you are, if it is something that you want to do for you, that’s different, but don’t let others tell you how you should be.
You are enough, just because you are, for no other reason, nor is any other reason needed. You don’t have to be prettier, funnier, taller, shorter, thinner or bigger because you are enough.
People will continually try and change you, try and make you conform, let them try but don’t let them succeed. Let them try and get through you, let them hurl themselves against your true self, if you have some jagged edges and they cut themselves, that is their problem, when they realise that you won’t give in to them that you are confident in your own self and who you are, they will move on and hopefully, learn a little respect along the way.
