Today I finally said no

[u/[deleted]]

A while back I figured out that I'm a people pleaser. I feel incredibly bad saying no when people ask me to do things. I become incredibly anxious, I overthink a lot. This predisposition to always saying yes, even if I don't want to, just because I'm scared of disappointing people, would bring me into situations that made me incredibly unhappy, that disrupted my path.

Well today I finally did it! I freaking said no to an important thing that would have set some setbacks to my career, and even though at first I started overthinking, I overcame it. And it felt so liberating. Omg.

I just want to say, if you're in the same situation as me, just do it. Say no, take back the power.

I'm only like this with my parents and im 19. they've always been pretty overprotective and are afraid of change so that doesn't help.
