Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Good Morning! Why do I feel the need to be told what to do and how can I change it?
Because I need to improve myself, and progress as a personal being and a social being.
The way I changed it:
1. Appreciating the notification, I consider it constructive criticism, not personal attack.
2. I keep thinking positive, I listen carefully ~ whoever is talking that ...
3. Then I analyze what he said, and reflect on myself ...
I will accept that with wisely, gratitude and grace ...
4. Then become motivated to have a change for good, and promise myself, that I must get better. ...
5. If there are people who constantly criticize without seeing the good side of me, then I will recognize them as envy and correcting people, then I will keep my distance from toxic people like this.
So I always appreciate myself with all the good changes that occur and feel comfortable in this life. Thanks.
We feel that when we are not sure of the knowledge we possess or we are unsure whether to trust our decision or we are just feeling too.. laid back to take the initiative to think and do (to blindly obey doesn't seem to require much though process).
If there is such a need in even the most simple matters, then, it can be the fact that you don't trust yourself, your choices or perhaps a low self esteem.
How to go about changing it?
Get as informed about the matter as you can get to be.
Every day consciously try to make atleast 3 decision however small it maybe (like choosing what colour dress to wear) and make sure to stick to it and appreciate it. Journalling it would also help out.
