This may be more appropriate for the older members, but younger ones may find it useful and may have some advice to give.
My really big one is I wish I was less of a 'people pleaser', less compliant.
I think I have been quite easily manipulated during my life and if I hadn't been, my life would have taken a different course.
I have finally learnt to say 'no' and am trying hard to 'please myself'.
What about you?
‘Never be cruel or cowardly. And if you are, always make amends’ I may have nicked that from somewhere. Also, always admit when you’ve nicked something. If it’s clever they’ll spot it instantly anyway. Seeing as it’s you.
Just realised this makes it sound like I was a bully when I was a kid or something! Very much the opposite, just for clarity. I suppose the advice should be something more related to changing something you were actually doing then. But then, without everything being exactly how it has been over a lifetime… who would we be? Im just glad to be here now, having figured stuff out about how I be always been at the time I most needed the information. The right time.
