Someone else can only own the part of you that you don't own...and that is how guilt and shame and fear have the power they do over so many people.

When you are comfortable in your own skin...and accept and love yourself (no easy feat...but it is doable)...and you are true to yourself...none of those tools will have any power over you anymore....
