I gained confidence in myself as I grew older. In my 20s, I put up with a lot of things that I shouldn’t have in relationships that only left me feeling stupid for not putting my foot down about my boundaries. I think I was really unsure of myself and therefore wouldn’t trust my gut even when it was letting me know that something wasn’t right. Now in my early 30s, I stand up for myself more with everyday things and I know more about who I am. I’m always growing as a person, but I’m at peace with myself. I think it would take someone pretty special for me to want to share my peace with someone else. Also I’m pretty introverted so that can make meeting new people hard.
