You have done the hard part. You have done the hard part. You have recognized NGS. You have already done the second part, you started researching ways to fix it, and you have already bought books and listened to audio books.
Changing ones self is never easy. And people will be thrown off when they first see the new you. Some people will reject at first, but remember these changes are for you and not anyone else.
The big part I took from what I read about NGS is that, NG need validation from others. You don't need that anymore! You validate yourself and take care of your needs. You are doing great. Saying NO is always hard when you are use to saying yes, but saying no is for your health. You can't try please everyone without leaving yourself vulnerable.
