Have you ever experienced guilt from saying no? This is the story of my life. I don't know how to say no to people. I can be running on pure caffeine and no sleep yet, I will say yes to help, just so I don't see or hear anyone's disappointment. I guess I can say no, to parents, but that is about it.
Another one of my biggest faults is not being able to express myself. I'm not a person who likes to blame others for my misfortune or trying times. When something happens I am the type of person who looks the other way, bites my lip, and has an internal warfare, even though it might not be my fault.
WHY???? Why do I do that to myself?
People are going to hurt you, tear you down, disagree with you, they may be disappointed you and may even hate you but why do I take that out on myself? Why should I even care about what others think about me? Can their negativity really help me in the long run? Probably not.
Advice:
1. Find an out (physical exercise)
2. Talk about it (coffee date with your best friend)
3. Write it out on paper (then just toss your problems in the trash)
4. Give yourself a me day (retail therapy? lol)
Advice from TheHealthSite.com states we need to find place to let go of all these negative emotions. They suggest crying, a punching bag, and even screaming into pillow.
I can tell you from previous experience all of the above helps. I can bottle up emotions for weeks and when I snap it's not pretty. Those who know me best know when I snap it is a bad side of me. I have been blessed by so many wonderful things and people and yet I still let the little things bother me.
