I’ve always had a difficulty expressing my opinions bc of the way I was raised. I often felt not heard and in my household and whenever I tried to give my opinion it was met with conflict. So in the real world I always thought it was normal behavior for people to take my opinions with conflict. I don’t talk on pretty much anything but I listen to people give theirs with open ears whether I agree or not bc I’ve never wanted someone to feel how I’ve felt. what I’m writing is pretty much off topic I know. But I know in a sense i’m healing or working on it slowly just with the simple fact that I speak with respect or try to, and I don’t get a yelling screaming conflict with anyone. I’m trying to find the courage to speak up and vocalize my opinions.

[@Mae-bu2wu]

I grew up in the same way and now I am suffering from it in my personal life and work life and now that I am a mother it is even worse as I don’t want to project this on my child and also show her she should feel in her right to speak up and say her mind.

[@jewelsbarbie]

@@Mae-bu2wu please be brave and teach your daughter to how to stand up for herself and not be afraid to speak her mind. My parents always shamed me for speaking my mind if it wasn’t in line with what they thought or believed, and I have had to learn some hard lessons and experienced severe abuse (in business and personal relationships), bc I was afraid to speak up for myself and defend my personal rights and beliefs. Teach her to set boundaries and value herself above trying to please others in hopes of gaining approval, status, or another’s love. I wish one of my parents instilled that in me. Sending much love and respect to you

[@Mae-bu2wu]

@@jewelsbarbie thank you for replying back. I will do my very best. One thing I will show her is self worth. That is something I was never taught. As long as she has that she can conquer the world.

Takeaway: It takes courage to speak your truth. It's not easy, it takes practice, but it is doable. Thanks Robin!

[@mikewakefield8994]

Either you can take the easy courageous route or you can take the scholarly unstressful route to understand the metaphysics of you versus your universal self. (You versus your subconscious mind) Thanks to me taking the latter one, I can talk to presidents of countries and anyone without any stress. With this being said, what would you choose? If you take the courageous approach, it is like putting a bandaid on a problem which will eventually fall off.

I am a person that struggles with speaking my truth all the time. For many years I thought that what I had to say didn’t matter because I didn’t love or respect myself but as I get older and I’m trying to improve as a human being I see I have to love myself by expressing what I feel because it does matter. I pray whoever has this struggle as well will overcome it and be able to be and share themselves unashamedly.

I have tried this and it has actually started working for me... i cant believe i am actually able to speak my mind in a cool manner ...its unbelievable And it is because of you @robin sharma

[@exchangeofwisdom8475]

Wow, cool. I hope you never forget this

[@fatimaa8276]

I was very confident and outspoken growing up! I never had trouble expressing and voicing my opinions as a kid, but my family is very abusive and everytime I would speak out against them or defend myself, they would silence me and overtime this trained my brain that, speaking out and voicing what you believe in is dangerous and will get me and others hurt. This made very timid and sensitive. I've become a people pleaser and I constantly feel like I have to walk on eggshells around people bc I was trained to avoid conflict and make people happy. This lead to a lack of boundaries because I'm scared of offending anyone!

[@hanaeelkholti7168]

Thank you for your video. I never ever was able to speak up my mind . I just ignore what I really think and I agree to everything even if I strongly disagree just because I’m afraid that people will not like me and also because I hate confrontation. It starts getting into me because I feel it is not fair and people are taking advantages of me !!

[@danpartridge8584]

I actually tried this out in every aspect of my life (including work). Great content -- an incredibly relevant topic in today's world. Unfortunately, I think the shift from being quiet and reserving my own judgment to suddenly voicing it was far too much for the people around me to handle. I've been disciplined, counseled, and even approached by HR -- who specifically told me: "Sometimes keeping our thoughts and opinions to ourselves is the key to thriving in the professional world." Despite all of the negative feedback, I'm going to continue moving forward with this tactic. It's sort of amusing to watch the color drain from somebody's face when you do, in fact, you speak your truth!

[@anonymous3424]

I understand how you feel and for me, knowing that I'm not the only one feeling these sort of emotions and facing such circumstances encourages me to continue doing what I know is right while letting the negative comments come and go. Thank you for sharing your story😇😇😇😇

[@anonymous3424]

I'm glad to see that you aren't allowing the 'wrong' type of feedback ie which deteriorates your personality, let you stop from being who you want to become. Honestly, I've been able to learn a thing or two from your story too. Good luck friend 🥳

[@lindaberg]

good for you!

[@ChristianiSETTE]

This is great. We sometimes tend to hold our tongues too much when we really should be saying something to make a change or an impact. We sometimes don't and that allows it fester. I need to remember and speak my truth. Thank you.

[@akitadakid6326]

I realize that as a child I was proven time and time again that when I tried to have those conversations about how I felt, my emotions and issues would be completely disregarded. Literally told I don’t matter so I grew up with the repercussions of that. Thanks for this clarification, now I know what I need to work on.

[@deepsanghvi9240]

Robin Sir, I have been following you since an year. Trust me, I wish I get Mentor as same as you. Your teaching on personal development and professional development is incredible ! You teaches us in very simple language..and that's the most amazing part of you. I would like to understand one things that always confused me and because that I got a lot of damages. *What is Self respect. How to identify the difference between Self respect and ego?*

[@ravidabbiroo5737]

Dear Deep my understanding of self respect : [Imagine Self Respect as a fruit : But to get to this beautiful fruit you need to be strong at the roots] now how do you know what your roots are? Your roots start with your value system - what are the values that you will stand for come what may. As long as you guard your values. you are honoring your self. And if you honor yourself you will have your respect intact. And this my friend is nothing but Self Respect. Feel free to reach out to me for any help.

[@DeanRendar]

TOO MANY missed opportunity because I was so insecure that if I didn't dumb it down at the public speaking opportunity, young people would grow bored and I would get banished as someone too into things. Now that I already rode that route and failed, I now know to NEVER DUMB myself DOWN because they appear easily swayed by lowest common denominators, belong with what appreciates what I'm offering, everything else is self harm torture of the mind that festers on what else could have been done with that effort/opportunity/group. Being a capable and competent person who is afraid of crass, aggressive, ignorants who never heard an opinion not fueled by fear nor ego is a clear sign I need to pivot and re prioritize in order not to go insane assuming its a life sentence. The times will change and the amount of frantic desperate approval seeking to those who did not earn their right to be so lucky are now behind, buried, and being learned from.

THANK YOU for saying, "The greatest men and women in the world..." If I had to guess, I'd say the latter gender is left out of a phrase like that about 90%+ of the time. Noticed & grateful for the inclusion. I've watched a few of your videos... good job, man. Truly.

[@mikewakefield8994]

Your information is working great for me. The average person doesn't understand having a relationship with themself. They don't understand what that means. They end up not being able to contemplate this amazing message you have sent. I love the message. I watched it twice already. Your universal self is more complicated than you are and so it is critical that one contemplates what it means metaphysically to have a good relationship with yourself. It is very difficult, because as a kid, your "universal self" started off broken and it probably remained broken all the way until you watched this video. You then ignored the most important message, have a good relationship with yourself first.
