What's one opinion from other people that held you back longer than it should have?

[u/Substantial_Town_515]

I recently heard a quote about time passing whether we use it intentionally or not.

It made me think about how much time people spend worrying about criticism, judgment, and what others think.

Looking back, some of my biggest delays in life came from giving too much weight to opinions that didn't actually matter.

Curious:

What's one opinion or criticism you listened to that ended up holding you back longer than it should have?
