Explanations you don’t owe anyone
Why do we always feel the need to explain? They are not necessary and only fill us with pressure and stress.
Stop the bad habit of explaining everything you do or what is happening to you. Obviously there are people very close to you who care about you, with whom you sometimes vent. But if instead of feeling more relieved, you feel really pressured to explain, then it’s time to say enough is enough.
Your life’s priorities
Your plans and what you want for yourself you don’t have to explain them to anyone or ask for anyone’s approval. It is wise to listen to realistic opinions and advice, but if it doesn’t reach you, let everyone have their say.
You need to be alone
You don’t have to explain to anyone why you want to be alone. Don’t feel pressured into this.
Your romantic life
You should not explain to anyone how you live your relationship, what your projects are or how they are. Relationship issues are a two-way street, and neither family nor friends should ask for explanations.
Your bachelorhood
Also, you don’t have to feel compelled to explain why you’re single (most of the time you don’t even know it yourself).
Your choices within a relationship
You don’t have to explain to anyone why you went back to your ex, why you forgave a betrayal, why you don’t want to get married, etc. It’s your choice.
Your career or job opportunities
There will always be someone to judge your choices, but the specialty you choose or the job you do is entirely up to you. You’re not there to please or explain yourself to anyone.
Your physical appearance
It’s pretty heavy to have to hear that you’re too fat or too thin, you can even joke about it, but you don’t owe anyone an explanation. In fact, you can dress the way you want without justifying it. If they don’t like your purple hair, they’ll have to get over it on their own.
Your religious or political views
In the social network comment box, terrible discussions are held about religious or political issues. But your beliefs and convictions are very personal, you don’t have to explain or defend them. Of course, in these matters it is always wonderful to have a mature and sensible discussion that teaches us something from the other’s point of view. But when we and others are closed to that, discussion is out of the question.
Your situation at home
You should not feel forced to explain how you live at home, if you live alone, with a partner without getting married, with your ex, with your parents, it is nobody’s business.
Your food preferences
You may not like what everyone else likes, but even if others make a fuss about it, it’s your choice, don’t explain or justify it.
Remember that no one is a judge and therefore you should not feel like you are in court all the time for every decision you make.
