Strangely enough, just last year. After the death of my mother I realized that life is too short to live for others and be who they think you should be instead of who you really are. I think maybe I have always known what I was about but now those around me are seeing it too. Not sure if they all like it either..

I accepted myself for who I am around the age of 35. I quit doing everything that everyone asked of me. Before then, whenever anyone asked me to do favors or attend functions or to volunteer for things, I could not say "no". I was always doing what others expected of me, even though I had been emancipated at age 17 when I first married and had my son when I turned 18. Finally, I told myself, I had enough and was going to try to lead my own life and stopped going to functions, etc. unless I wanted to do it. Since then I have gained my own independence for me. By this I just mean that I don't just follow people blindly, I use my own judgment and do what I think is best. I have accepted myself for who I am and do not rely on others and am no longer "just a people pleaser!".

Just this year-- getting out of my first relationship, reclaiming independence, losing religion, finding peace within myself.
I'm no longer single, but at least now I know a healthy balance between loving myself and my significant other. I no longer struggle with self-esteem issues, or matters of pride.
I've never been happier.

A very good question. Have a star.
I think for me, when I was about 35 may be a couple of years earlier.

never. i don't like who I am and i know it doesn't conform with societies standards and you can say be who you are all you want but that doesn't go over very well in the competitive workplace and job interviews or the social scene in college, and quite frankly being me doesn't make me necessarily happy.

About 10 years ago after years of therapy.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

i think about 2 years after my bf left me. i realized that he was the one missing out, and that i don't need someone around to make me feel good about myself.
