- It is my job to make myself happy.

- It is not my job to make anyone else happy.

- It is not my job to fix others.

- It is not my job to take responsibility for others.

- It is okay if others get angry.

- It is okay to say no.

- It is okay if nobody agrees with me.

- I don't have to anticipate the needs of others.

- I have a right to my own feelings.

- I am enough.

There is always someone unhappy regardless.

Bingo - becuase we have absolutely no control over whether or not someone else is happy or unhappy. Just keep reminding yourself of that!

I'd like to add: "What other people think of me is none of my business."
