Growing into Self-Esteem You Deserve - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

As you live more life by virtue of being alive, you learn things. You learn things about the world, about how you currently show up in the world, and even about how you want to show up in the world.

You learn things about other people, too – maybe you learn that some of them really love you, and some of them just love what you will do for them. You start to notice that some people don’t respect your boundaries or maybe don’t even acknowledge your right to set boundaries. You start to notice that being around people like that doesn’t feel good, and maybe even notice that you dread even the thought of having to deal with them.

The more life you live, the more you begin to realize that not everyone deserves access to you, so you harden your boundaries and start shutting out the bad-feeling people. That’s when they start calling you selfish or arrogant.

You’re not selfish or arrogant.

You’re taking care of yourself and not allowing them to continue to manipulate you. Understand that their name-calling is the last desperate gasp of someone who only cares about being able to control you. They don’t care about you, they only care about what you can do for them.

Walk away. You deserve better.
