What advice would you give to your younger self?

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?

    I agree completely with this. I was so desperate to fit in and have friends that I put up with things I never should have and allowed myself to be taken advantage of ignored and forgotten when I wasn’t useful to others. And of course despite all that i still didn’t really have proper friends anyway.
