    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.

    Definitely. The person in my life is my mil. She’s also my neighbor so I can’t escape it.

    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. 🤬😡

    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 🤷‍♀️
