Taylor Swift Quotes

The less I give of myself to the public, the less I can be hurt.

People are dream killers--you've got to be careful who you give emotional access to.

You can say no to people who make you feel bad about yourself. To people who backstab you or make you feel anxious in any way.

Once you're in a position where you can choose to not be around toxic environments, just do that as much as you can.

Anyone who starts piercing the bubble of happiness, get 'em out of your life.

I have a boundary problem... I need to know when to give and when to back up. I'll help someone across the street and then into their homes and they'll start telling me all their problems... and it turns out they're insane and want to kill me. I've got to know when to stop!

Be friendly to everybody; protect yourself; people sometimes want a piece of you for no good reason; and always do things out of love not fear.

I don't care what you do to me, but I don't want you to hurt me. I've had enough hurt already in my life. More than enough. Now I want to be happy.

Take my advice. Stay away from all broken people.

I'm not saying you need to take a break because you're crazy. I'm saying you need to take a break so you can be crazy, and people aren't going to judge you. You're going to do dumb stuff from here on out. But do it in your own time. Do it safely. You can afford to protect yourself and still have fun.

Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life, the better.

Be easy on yourself. Have fun. Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.

Negative people deplete your energy. Surround yourself with love and nourishment and do not allow the creation of negativity in your environment.

Learning to say no is something that helps in that, and what you're comfortable with and what you're not comfortable with, and finding the line. That's it. Otherwise it's just going to be really hard.

That's a really healthy thing - family will always protect you from yourself.

I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.

We have to be vulnerable as actors, but we have to protect ourselves.

I had a year of therapy and I swear to God, I went in that with a certain level of self-love, but not enough to keep me out of bad relationships, not enough to try and save people who were toxic for me, not enough to recognise when something was bad, to walk away.

If there are negative people around me, I just try to distance myself from that.

When you become an adult and you have a choice of who to have in your life, if someone's hurting you and making you feel bad, then they shouldn't be in your life, even if it's a family member.

Sometimes staying strong means not putting yourself in uncomfortable or triggering situations.
