Thanks for your comments, Brianna. In response to your question, you never need to prove yourself to anyone. Your ‘job’ is to BE YOUR BEST.
Sometimes, we do things that we regret or wish we had not done. These, unfortunately, make us feel bad and we remember the negative emotion. Learn from the event but do not let it define you.
The way to move beyond it is to focus attention on how you want to be instead. Choose a quality or two that you want to espouse and focus on becoming that. Look for a future post on this question. It’s a good one!
Remember that being human means that we all make mistakes and we all have those moments in time when we wish we could rewind and do a retake! Accept your humanity; forgive yourself and choose to be better today.
Warmly, Julie

First of all this was a great article with helpful advice.

Please answer my question someone!

What should I do about a need to make others think differently of me. I feel as if I have showed a weird part of me and that now it’s my job to make them think differently by proving myself.
