You automatically place yourself in virtual shackles when you worry about what others think of you. Ask yourself why it is so important to you? Often it is because we want to be liked but if you have to be someone other than who you really are in order to be liked, it’s a wasted effort. They like a version of the real you, not the real you. Those that still stick around irrespective of what you do are the ones you really want to focus on and keep around – not the judgemental ones. Being true to yourself is one of the best ways to feel free.
