Why do people get upset when I don’t stand up for myself?
My best friend one time helped me built confidence on standing up for myself and she pretended to pick on me and throw papers and me and let her talk to me rudely. It was role play.
She was like, “Really? You’re just going to let me do that to you? You’re not even going to call me out? See that’s what I’m talking about. You let people treat you like garbage. If you did that with me, I would have called you our on that crap! Girl you better start opening your mouth and stand up for yourself. Stop letting people step all over you! That’s not cool!
I was like, “Why are you getting mad at me? I just don’t wanna start any fight or upsetting anyone and -“ she cut me off saying, “I’m getting really tired of that “it’s not nice” or “I’m too afraid” crap! So what if they get mad? You need to care about how you feel! Who cares? Forget being nice! Sometimes you gotta piss someone off and stop running away from conflicts. That just makes you a coward. That’s the truth.”
Can’t believe she called me a coward! Rude
