True advice, thank you so much for sharing this. You’re absolutely right, when we truly know who we are and stand firm in our own worth, no one, no matter how they act or what they have can ever make us feel small. It’s not about what they think or say; it’s about what we know about ourselves. That self-esteem and sense of identity is our greatest protection, especially around people who try to lift themselves up by putting others down. I really needed to hear this, and I’ll hold onto it always.
