I Hate Conflict

Just be you. If there are people who don’t respond positively to that, then so be it.

There are likely people who currently dislike you, despite your best efforts. You cannot be everyone’s friends, and neither should you be. It can be emotionally draining to constantly vie for the appeasement of others, and the stress that you carry by feeling you need to do so.

In the immortal words of Christopher Cornell - “To be yourself is all that you can do”.

You will not be hated if you stand up for yourself politely but VERY firmly. Conflict is not the end of the world, it is a bump in the road.

if u Go above and beyond...ull be seen as a push over eventually. Ull be less likely to be respected. Let them know u for you....and they will see u for that and respect that.

I'm glad u posted this because I am dealing w this also. I tend to not complain and everyone expects me to be that way....so when I do make a suggestion they see it as a attitude.

Any tips on how I can do the firmly, because everytime I start I just want to cry and in an attempt to hold back my tears I start stuttering. 😔
