Quotes to ponder:

"Yes, you may feel guilty for being honest at first, but it will get easier."

"You feel in control. You feel comfortable. But until you start to examine the root of your behavior, it’s likely that you’ll continue to constantly want to please others."

"Adjust less to others. Listen more to yourself."
