Comforting Thought: No is also an action

Comforting Thought: Other people’s opinion of you doesn’t matter

“it is easier to let go
of someone’s opinion of you
when you understand
that others see you through

and their current emotional state
without realizing it,
they see themselves first,
and through that lens they get
an unclear picture of you”
