one thing people need to understand is that you dont have to sacrifice your wishes, comfort, boundaries or happiness for others to be happy. If you’re the type of person to always put others first, you’ll only accumulate sadness and frustration because you never put yourself first, and for what? People take and never say thank you or take you for granted: stop putting yourself out there for others all the time, take this from someone who used to be that kind of fool. Your happiness and comfort come first, exert assertive behavior: respect what others want unless it puts your own comfort, boundaries and happiness at risk. Learn to say ‘ no’ if you don’t want to do something: those who deserve your time and energy will understand and those who don’t will be easily unmasked so you can get rid of them.
