My biggest regret is letting other people decide my selfworth. Especially as a child I took everyting way to serious. If an adult said I was dumb I immediately stored it in my brain as the truth.

This has done me harm because I made life choices over this believes. For example which school to go to.

Only as an adult I started to challenge some of these thoughts and made choices that fit better. I sure wish I could go back and tell my younger self that adults can and do lie.

I have learned to question old believes and to make choices based on what I want instead of what my selfworth dictates.
