Talking to friends about this shitshow made me realize I have got much better at something I used to be very bad at.On twitter.com
Mood -1 🙁

Specifically: navigating the fine line between being a bitch and a pushover. This has been something I found super hard and frustrating.Permalink On twitter.com
-
I erred a lot on the side of being a pushover which btw is so bad for your self esteem.Permalink On twitter.com
-
And I would periodically try to assert myself and this would be so shocking to people that voila I'm a bitch.Permalink On twitter.com
-
And I think the main thing that has helped me is cultivating a deep belief that I am a reasonable person. That my boundaries are reasonable.Permalink On twitter.com

Anyway I guess what I'm saying is if n>=1 people want to talk about what a bitch I am this week, there's not much I can do.Permalink On twitter.com
-
And don't get me wrong it's stressing me out - I'm wide awake at 4am and having a hard time eating. Feeling very emotionally closed off.Permalink On twitter.com
-
But I still believe I'm a reasonable person and once this blows over I'm gonna keep doing what I do.Permalink On twitter.com
