Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all. — Leila Sales

I completely agree. For the longest time, I diminished myself feeling inadequate & unworthy thinking I needed their approval of me. It is only now that I recognize that I was completely wasting my time & energy beating myself up over this. I made myself suffer over someone else's perception about me. I realized they don't know me, they only assume something about me that they are not even sure of. I was unkind and hurtful to myself thinking I had to be more than I was so I could be validated. I learned the only approval I need is my own. I chose to be kinder to myself & respect myself more.
