Don't seek approval from other's but grant ACCEPTance from YOURSELF. No matter what you DO or NOT DO people are bound to judge you and criticize you if you haven't done that to yourself already, does that mean your decision is going to be based on the judgmental of others involving YOUR life and YOUR happiness?? Then you will forever stay stagnant waiting for an answer because the answer does not come from you.
Stop being the biggest bully, the most abusive abuser to yourself. The nasty remarks you make to yourself jokingly is NO JOKE! it will grow on you and kill you before you know it, so please stop saying things you don't even feel good about. Remember people judge anyway? When they say you are pretty and you denied they say you are so fake, when you say it out loud they think you are not that pretty anyway. So who cares?! How many times have you abuse yourself by saying 'im too thin I got no boobs','my thighs look like elephant legs In this pants', 'if only I can be him/her ', 'i could have done better', 'every one hates me',..... please please please if only you could look into the mirror and see how perfectly fine you are, how much you have done that you should be proud off, how much you should learn to love yourself first, acknowledge and accept the fact that you cannot and should not please everybody. In the end it's all You. Your life. Own it!!!
I first come across this phrase " you cannot please everybody" was from my mom. i was organizing a high school event, and i have heard that some people was not really pleased about the outcome. I felt so pressured and so i called my mom. And its true, i can't please everyone, and hack where are them now? It didn't even matter because it wasn't even a big deal. some like apple some prefer watermelon, that is all. So do yourself a great favor and be kinder and nicer to yourself, people who matter will love you the way you are.
