sample answer:-

You know, at some point , i learnt something really important you just can't please everyone. For a long time, I used to try. At work, with friends, even with people I barely knew. I wanted everyone to think I was nice, helpful, easy to be around. So I'd say yes to things I didn't want to do , go to events I wasn't interested in, and keep quiet when I actually disagreed with something. One day, I just burned out . I remember one weekend when I had agreed to help two people move on the same day and I didn't even have the energy to move myself out of bed. That's when it hit me, trying to keep everyone happy was just making me miserable. Since then, I've started setting boundaries. It wasn't easy at first [i still feel quality sometimes], but I've learned that it's okay to say no. Some people won't like it, and that's fine. Not everyone has to like you . The right people will understand. Honestly, learning that was a bit of a game changer for me. OR

At some point, I learned something really important to live in the present moment. It might sound like a cliche, but it honestly changed a lot for me. I realized that a big part of depressions comes from living in the past, thinking about mistakes, regrets or things you wish you'd done differently. As for anxiety, that usually comes from worrying too much about the future, about things that might not even happen. Psychologists often say that depression is rooted in the past and anxiety in the future. That really stuck with me. I started noticing how often my mind was somewhere else, replaying old conversations or stressing about what might happen next. Learning to come back to now, through breathing, noticing what's around me or just taking a pause, helped me feel calmer and more focused. Once I understood that, I started focusing more on the present, enjoying little things, not overthinking, and just taking things one day at a home. Honestly, learning that was a bit of a game changer.
