𝑬𝒑.4 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑼𝒑 𝑫𝒊𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔: 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑶𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔

Welcome back, lovely people! Grab your favourite drink because today’s topic is an important one: opinions—especially the negative ones. 𝘏𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦’𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘺? We’ve all been there. But it'll never happen to you again, listen up. 𝑯𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔? 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒎 Here’s the thing about haters: their comments are more about them than about you. First, know who ur dealing with. Heaters are insecure individuals who project their insecurities on others. (They'll criticize you on what they hate about themselves.) What do u do now? 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑵𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑶𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔. It’s easy to say “Don’t care what others think,” but how do you do it? 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇. Basically, every decision you make from now on, you'll ask yourself: will I be proud of myself if I do this? Will this make me happy? Instead of: wHaT WiLL tHeY tHinK oF mE? Remember, 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆’𝒔 𝑪𝒖𝒑 𝑶𝒇 𝑻𝒆𝒂. And that’s okay! If everyone likes you, you’re not being true to yourself. Your worth doesn’t come from how others perceive you but from how you see yourself. 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓: Someone else’s opinion of you is none of your business. If you're not treated right, your first response should NOT be "Let me prove how valuable I am, they just don't see it yet". That mindset is toxic and it's not hot girl behaviour. Instead, your response should be "They don't see my value, that's on them. Clearly, we DON'TRESONATE. I have nothing to prove. Time to replace them with something/someone who does". Your response should be walking away from anything that drains you or just doesn't match your vibe. 𝑵𝒐𝒘, 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌: 1. List 3 Things You Love About Yourself: Focus on your strengths, quirks, or achievements—anything that makes you proud to be you. Keep this list somewhere visible. 2. Write Down 2 Opinions You’ve Let Go Of: Think of comments or judgments that used to bother you. Reflect on why they no longer hold power over you. 3. Set a Boundary: Identify a situation where you often let others’ opinions influence you. Write down how you’ll set a boundary, whether that means saying no, limiting interactions, or mentally detaching. 𝑨 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒅- cuz ily ❤️ The world can be noisy, but your inner voice matters most. The moment you stop chasing approval and start trusting yourself is the moment you step into your power. You are enough, just as you are. Trust your judgment, stand firm in your worth, and remember that no one else gets to define you. Thank you for reading this episode of Growing Up Diaries. Let me know how you’re building self-security and detaching from negativity in the comments. 😘
