How do you grow thicker skin?

Same 😕

This is something I struggle with too. I think it takes practice. A lot of positive self talk. Or reframe. Take a comment that was made by someone: then ask yourself what does that mean to you? And is the comment true? A lot of times, the comment that is made is more about them and less about you.

Try reading "the subtle art of not giving a F***" you can also listen to it on Spotify as an audio book.

Changed my perspective!

it sucks because after having a child ppl say even more annoying/rude things but it’ll make us learn to be stronger.

yes ! I take things to personal I guess.

I struggle with that too but I’ve gotten better. I had to find confidence in myself. Remember that it’s only an opinion and people are entitled to just that… their opinion. And realize it’s not my truth

YEEEEESSSSSS!!!! THE FOUR AGREEMENTS IS WHERE IT'S AT! That's the REAL shit right there. If you really want to change your life/attitude/perspective.

100000% my therapist introduced me to the book at 14 years old and my life changed forever

Being confident

My good friend told me a long time ago that we have a CHOICE to be offended or not. Say, the same 2 sentences are said to this woman and the woman next to her. Why is it that this woman would go red and get all angry and offended whereas the other woman just laughed it off and walked away and continued her day. Why is that? Because the second woman chose to not let it affect her. Also. It’s ONE opinion out of a million. It’s just one random persons’ opinion so don’t let that opinion affect you when you know they’re probably in the minority anyway. Don’t let that one opinion affect your mood and your day. Similar to #2 of what Parker posted above - don’t take anything personally. Let it go in one ear and out the other. Shrug it off. Protect your peace. Don’t think of justifying anything, it won’t make a difference. People believe what they wanna believe and nothing we can do can change that. So, I just accept that.

It took me awhile to have thicker skin. It took something huge for me to finally say enough is enough. Now idc what people think about me. I love me and that’s all that matters.

that’s great I hope I start feeling like that soon
