I cannot change anyone else, I can only change myself

I cannot change anyone else, I can only change myself.

Everyone has needs and wants within any type of relationship. When those needs aren’t met, we have a tendency to get frustrated and to want the other person to change to be more in line with our desires. However, the choice and ability to make those changes is solely on the other person. No matter how hard we try or how strongly we believe they need to change, there is nothing we can do to make that happen. It’s important to accept that communication is important, but coercion is impossible.

But don't be frustrated, we have a superpower which is we have the ability to change ourselves. And while it is important that your needs are met, it is equally important that you’re making the changes you can according to what you need to make the relationship grow. Focus internally. Allow yourself to grow and get better by working on yourself.
