How To Stop People From Having So Much Power Over You

Have you ever felt like other people’s opinions, actions, or words hold too much power over your emotions and sense of self? It’s a common experience, but the truth is, we often give away that power unknowingly. When we let others control how we feel, think, or react, we lose touch with our own inner strength and autonomy. The good news is, you can reclaim that power.

The first step in taking back your power is recognising where you’re giving it away. Often, we allow people’s judgments, criticisms, or even praise to dictate our self-worth. It might happen in subtle ways, such as needing approval from others, being overly concerned about what people think, or feeling responsible for their happiness. When you notice yourself reacting to others in these ways, it’s a sign that you’re giving away more power than necessary.

Setting boundaries is essential to protect your energy and peace of mind. This doesn’t mean cutting people off entirely, but rather creating healthy limits around how much influence they have over your life. If someone’s behaviour is toxic or draining, it’s okay to distance yourself or limit interactions. Boundaries can be as simple as not engaging in negative conversations or refusing to let someone’s mood or opinions dictate your day. By setting boundaries, you create space to prioritise your well-being.

Finally, be kind to yourself. If you find that other people’s opinions still affect you, don’t beat yourself up for it. We’re all human, and it takes time to undo patterns of giving away power. The key is to practice self-compassion along the way. Understand that you’re on a journey of self-empowerment, and each step forward is progress. Celebrate your growth, no matter how small.

In the end, the power others have over you is only as strong as the power you give them. By learning to validate yourself, set boundaries, and shift your focus inward, you can reclaim control of your emotions and live with more freedom and peace. It’s time to own your power.
