Victoria Pendleton Quotes
Steve [sports Psychiatrist] Had Already Taught Me To Try And Stop Worrying So Much About Pleasing Everyone. We Knew That This Was One Of My Most Draining Flaws And He Again Used Three Groups To Clarify My Thinking. There Would Always Be Some People, Steve Said, Who Would Care About Me And Love Me. In Contrast There Would Also Be A Select Group Of People Who Would Never Warm To Me - No Matter What I Did. And In The Middle Came The Overwhelming Mass Who Were Largely Indifferent To Any Of My Failures Or Triumphs. I Needed To Understand That Most People Didn't Really Care What I Did Or Said. All My Anguish About How They Might Perceive Me Was Redundant. Steve Helped Me Realize That I Spent Too Much Time Trying To Please Those Oblivious People In The Middle Or, More Problematically, The Small Group Who Would Never Change Their Critical Opinion Of Me. I Should Concentrate On The People Who Really Did Show Concern For Me.
