Are you living as yourself… or as the person someone else decided you are? People can create a version of you in their head, build a whole narrative around that version, and then interact with you based on it. But that story belongs to them. You are not responsible for constantly correcting their perception of you, proving who you are, or shrinking yourself to fit the version of you they are comfortable with. Because the moment you start taking responsibility for someone else’s idea of you, you stop being fully available to become who you actually are. You don’t have to live your life trying to manage someone else’s narrative. #boundaries #selfawareness #growthmindset #relationshipadvice #boundarysetting
