I Am Mean

By "mean" I mean by saying "no" to something I don't like or setting boundaries. Not mean like calling people names or sayinh harsh things, but letting people know I'm not going to be ran over. I respectfully set boundaries. My parents taught us to not let people take advantage of us and speak our minds. I'm getting better at it. I hate having a soft heart sometimes.

If they don't like it, tough shit. I don't care

This is assertiveness and not mean at all.The best way to be.

@tallpowerhouseblonde True. I am just tired of being the "nice girl".

@CraftyMarieArts You can be both nice and also firm with people.Helpful while still being able to say no when you believe you need to.
