We often carry the weight of the versions of ourselves that live in other people’s minds. Experiences people had with us—good or bad—become narratives they hold onto. The natural instinct is to feel shame or to try and rewrite those narratives for them, but here’s the truth: it’s not our responsibility.
You’re allowed to evolve, to change, and to grow. If someone truly wanted to shift their perception of you, they could ask, learn, or seek to understand the full story. But that’s their decision, not yours. You can offer a safe space, but at the end of the day, the choice is theirs.
Stay true to your path.
