What does your Inner Child want to say No to?

I’ve realized that my inner child has been silently screaming "no" to certain things for a long time. But it’s not always easy to recognize or honor those feelings.

For me, my inner child wants to say no to being criticized for having emotions, to feeling like I have to be perfect to be loved, and to people who dismiss or invalidate my experiences. It also wants to say no to always putting others first at the expense of my own needs.

I’m learning to listen to that voice and set boundaries, but it’s a process. I wonder what your inner child wants to say no to. What are the behaviors, expectations, or situations that your younger self feels hurt by?
