Step-3
Don’t let Others Expectations Ruin You

Have you ever found yourself questioning if what you’re doing truly reflects who you are, especially during a project or in a relationship where you might feel pressured to please others? It’s crucial to stop doing things you don’t want to do and start using your assertive no.

If you keep ignoring your true desires and continue doing things you dislike, you might end up disliking the person you’re trying to please or resenting the tasks you’re doing for them. The assertive no not only helps you avoid unpleasant tasks but also prevents others from feeling bad for making you do things you’d rather not.

Think about the last time someone helped you, knowing they didn’t really want to. Did you genuinely appreciate their help, or did you feel guilty for burdening them? You don’t have to conform to other people’s expectations. You are unique; choose a personal storyline that aligns with your wants and needs. If you don’t want to go to university, for example, follow your passions and create your own path.

To discover your path, explore your interests by visiting a bookshop and finding books that captivate you. If you’re drawn to coffee table design books, consider exploring fields like industrial design or architecture.

Listening to your personal inclinations and exploring your interests not only strengthens your mental abilities but also makes you more appealing to others. Enthusiasm is attractive! When people see your passion, they are more likely to trust you, believe what you say, and enjoy your company.
