Once a person regains their subjectivity, they will no longer base their self-worth on others' likes and evaluations, because having expectations means being passive; the true state is to be true to oneself, to express oneself openly and calmly, to come together when the relationship is right and part ways when it is not, while not placing oneself in the victim's position, and to express discomfort promptly rather than internalize it, daring to face conflicts and accept the consequences; in interpersonal interactions, no longer see oneself as the object of scrutiny, but present oneself with confidence and openness, and insist on self-decision and clear boundaries in both major and minor matters; even when faced with others' suppression or denial, one can calmly see through their motives without losing composure. The essence of this awakening is not external toughness, but to reassert control over oneself, one's values, and judgments, taking an active stance to affirm one's existence: I am here, and I have my reasons.
