I used to let other people decide how I felt about people and situations for me. I have worked to change this to no longer think this way. It keeps me safe and allows me to feel comfortable by putting power and control back into my hands, because I choose who, when and how long.

I used to hide how I really felt from people to prevent arguements and to protect others and their feelings because I felt responsible for both. Today I only feel responsible for myself.

When my intuition would speak I used to turn a deaf ear to it, deny it, make excuses for the situations it spoke of. I no longer force myself to feel one feeling or another and don't make excuses for feeling that I have. I also came to believe that when others tell me what I should be feeling, as someone on this forum once wrote, I no longer believe they do it because they care. I also no longer find this acceptable behaviour.
