Some people worry so much about what others think of them that they change what they have to say to please someone else. It’s hurtful, I know, but you have to make peace with the fact that their choice to be two-faced is their choice, not yours. We tend to put value on those who others try to impress simply because someone out there wants to impress them. That’s how power works. Think about it this way though: If someone isn’t impressed by the truth, are they worthy of being impressed at all? If someone isn’t impressed by the truth, are they worthy of your time, effort, and energy? Are they worthy of you trying to prove yourself to them? Are they worthy of your mental space? No, they are not. Those who are worthy are those who matter. And those who matter, you don’t have to prove yourself to them. They see right through you. They see your truth. They see your authenticity. Those are the ones who are worthy of being held on to, because you don’t have to try to impress them. You already do by being who you are.
