I have been doing this since 2017. I love helping people and I love Disneyland. My problem is I'm a people pleaser and over do it to help out. I look for approval too. Another problem.
This year I was blindsided by YouTubers and their attack on my integrity. I managed to block one but another blocked me...🤷🏻♀️
That experience put me on the defensive and each time someone questioned my work and stated in a subtle, or not so subtle way, that I was lying...it upset me.
I guess I hit my limit last week and had enough. My people pleasing and looking for approval brought me down hard. I needed this break to refocus.
I'm going to pull back from doing my daily updates and do weekly ones instead. I think my self-imposed pressure of getting those out on a daily basis was killing me. I will put a "Questions" section on my Facebook page and begin populating it with frequently asked questions and other information. I already put information in my Highlights on my Instagram page so the questions will be a version of that on FB.
I will also not hesitate to block those who think attacking me is a sport. I don't have the energy to manage fools and their need to pick on people like myself.
🖤Thank you so very much to everyone who posted their support for me in my posts from Thursday. They really mean the world to me🖤.
Boundaries are so challenging for well-meaning people. You articulated well in this post! I have only recently found you via Solo Disneyland Adventurers and appreciate absolutely every post I’ve seen. Thank you for your research and guidance. I’m a 65+ senior (into Goth 🖤) and often feel ageism. I just want to do me!!! 🌹
