Ugh

I, apparently, do not like standing up for myself.

It makes me feel so uncomfortable and like the entire world is going to collapse around me and the other people involved are going to dislike me and not want to be part of my life anymore.  It sucks.

A lot.

And I do not like it.

Nothing about it feels good, not the lead up to it, not the doing of it, not the afterwards.

If people do not want to be part of your life if you stick up for yourself who needs 'em?!
You are a free independent woman so of course you are going to stand up for yourself.
No need to raise your voice or make a scene, often a quietly spoken line or two will make the point.
If we do not stick up for ourselves about things that matter to us what are we? A rubber, dusty door mat?
That is NOT you, is it?

I have my door mat moments for sure, but am working on changing that. And it's not as if the people in my life actually would not like me for standing up for myself, that's just how it feels.
