2) Protect yourself from people who make you doubt your abilities. This is a very important aspect that not everyone takes into account. Do not allow others to manipulate you and your feelings.
3) Remove from the dusty boxes your letters, diplomas, or any other reminder that you have been awarded. And now hang them in your room and always remember - you have something to be proud of!

Remember that you are a personality, unique and inimitable, with your own tastes, preferences, emotions, and in general - you have your own way of life. Therefore, do not let anyone darken your life, much less past grievances and low self-esteem.
