They don’t know you as well as they think they know you
No matter how comfortable you are with yourself and how long you’ve known a person, they don’t know the real you. They know the version you choose to share with them which might be 80% of yourself, but it’s never 100%.

They’re not you.
Ultimately, it comes down to this. You are the expert on you.
Nobody can know what’s best for you better than you can so trust your instincts, stop listening to other people, and own your own decisions.
