“You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” Eleanor Roosevelt

In today’s hyper-connected, social media-orientated world, it’s too easy to fall into the trap of constantly seeking others’ approval.

We often find ourselves moulding our behaviours, decisions and even dreams to fit what we think others expect of us. This constant need for validation can be exhausting and limit our personal growth and happiness.

This article offers you a roadmap to break free from the chains of others’ opinions and start living life on your own terms. We’ll explore the root causes of this behaviour and its consequences and, most importantly, provide you with practical strategies to build self-confidence and embrace your authentic self.
