Saying Yes to Others Means Saying No to Yourself

My whole life, I’ve worried about how people see me. I wanted to be liked, loved, and accepted—basic human needs. After facing abandonment and loss early on, I shaped myself to fit what others wanted, constantly saying yes out of fear of being left behind. But each yes to someone else was a no to myself. Recently, I realized the true cost of this habit. When I choose what others want over my own needs, I lose time, energy, and peace. Now, I ask myself: What am I saying no to when I say yes? It’s changed everything. Have you ever said yes when you really wanted to say no? Share your experience below! #SpiritualGrowth #SelfLove #Boundaries #Spirituality
