Concerning making decisions

Tweet

Recently I have realized how much I want people to like me. I find that I want to be liked by everyone and sometimes take opinions too personally. The flip side of this is because I am one of the heart; I love intimacy, romance, depth, therefore, I am sensitive to relationships and wanting to make the best of them. Over the past few months, I have realized though, that sometimes people, good friends, even, may just not agree with certain decisions you make. Of course they still love you, but they just might not understand. Wanting people to like me so much has been an obstacle for me. I see how it has made me very ambivalent, changing my mind this and that and I somewhat feel like the girl Tori Amos is singing about when she sings, "She is everybody else's girl, maybe someday she'll be her own." Does anyone else ever feel this way?
