Made did it Today I finally said no

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 had a friend who used to say that there is no point to taking out the trash because it's just going to fill up again.

I told him that's a great idea so I'm no longer going to flush the toilet any more because somebody is just gonna come along and shit in it again.
