It's okay for someone to tell me who they think I am, but it's not okay when they try to impose that idea on me.

About This Quote

This is one of the most important quotes for getting over an ex. It's really important to be able to know who you are and what you stand for. You need to be able to say no without feeling like a jerk. Without knowing who you are, you're tempted to compromise yourself in every situation.

This quote is also good when you're in a new relationship because you want to make sure that it's not something that your partner considers. If someone tries to impose their idea of who you are on you, then that's when they don't know what they're doing.
