    I have conflict hangover.

    I’ve realized that there’s a reason I let people push me around rather than get into it with them. Sticking up for yourself is exhausting. Establishing boundaries might pay off in the long run, but it’s mentally taxing because it requires difficult, in-person conversations in which I’m easily railroaded, talked down to, or interrupted. Quietly dealing with someone’s disrespect was something I could do all by myself without ever having to have a conversation with anyone.

    Having said that, I know that no change comes without discomfort.. but I do understand now that my passiveness was self-care of a different kind.

    That’s very self reflective of you. Not many people posses that strength. I definitely relate to the feeling of being pushed beyond my boundaries. For me personally it’s to avoid confrontation. What I have learnt is that many of the times in such circumstances, it’s my own irrational fears that are holding me back.

    Confrontation is worse than just taking the abuse more often than not for me 😅

    I just ate some "sausage" that has no meat in it and where it has the essence of meat flavor it's not even close. I think the only meat that no meat substitutes could ever hope to get close to would be fish. The texture is more similar.

    Eff me. I just dropped Purple Heart and wenge boards behind the finished wall in the garage.

    Guess I’m testing it out and replacing it. 🤬😡

    When someone is mad at you but you aren’t mad back, are you supposed to act mad anyway? Like never address them and give them the cold shoulder? Or do you treat them like you normally would? Do they perceive that as disingenuous? What is the socially acceptable thing to do? Which is more/less aggravating to you if you’re the aggrieved party? I never know how to handle this

    personally, i’m always down for a fight. to get yourself in the mood just think back to all the perceived slights youve ever got from them, and even mix up those memories with any other bad history u have with other people bc dragging your demons along for the ride really makes it escalate nicely imo

    This sounds exhausting, can i drink first or is that a bad idea

    Lol....it DOES sound exhausting! And sometimes I forget what they even did. Unless it’s really bad. Or repeated. Then eventually I stop caring. And then it’s all over for good. And I can never get it back again.

    They are both really expensive. ☹️
    I don’t know if it’s toxic. That may explain a lot of things if it is.

    Yeah, I knew the purple heart was, I don't know much about wenge other than I read something a long time ago about it being kinda toxic 🤷‍♀️
