How do I not be afraid to stick up for myself and follow everyone's commands like a robot? I can never do anything for myself because the second someone gets a little upset at me I breakdown

      Train yourself to remember that you don't have to be perfect! We're human, and everyone messes up sometimes. We all have our own wants and needs that need to be met, and sometimes that means not everyone is going to be happy, but that's okay. It's okay to be "selfish" sometimes. 💜

          @spaghetti_man Do you have any suggestions on how to start? I'm a perfectionist and the reason I shut down so fast is because I've had a lot of trauma from getting negative responses for doing something I want
