I don't need to do what everyone wants me to do.

I don't have to anticipate people's needs.

I don't need anyone to approve of me.

I don't have to explain myself.

I don't need to feel guilty about my boundaries.

I don't have to say yes if I want to say no.

I don't need to feel bad for staying home.

I don't have to overextend myself to be enough.

I don't need to feel the way someone else feels.

I don't have to minimize my emotions.

I don't need to pretend I'm different.

I don't have to put others before myself.
