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.
♥️ i literally ran away from home to avoid confronting people who kinda run over me but tbh i think its for the best bc some people are just like that

Definitely. The person in my life is my mil. She’s also my neighbor so I can’t escape it.3 -

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 😅1 -

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.1

When you misunderstand someone’s question and end up sharing way more than they signed up for 😂7

They are both really expensive. ☹️
I don’t know if it’s toxic. That may explain a lot of things if it is.1 -

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 🤷♀️0 -

My preparations for my 10am meeting is getting in the way of leg day.0

So when the Covid lockdowns started to be a think back on April & May, I thought:
"This might really be a good opportunity to get into great shape. I'm thinking with the right diet plan and some hard work, I could look like Brad Pitt in the movie 'Fight Club'!"
Flash forward to today.....
With an endless supply of sourdough bread, Irish butter, an ability for unfounded justifications, unlimited Netflix streaming and an unrelenting Summer heat wave; the aspirations of a Brad Pitt / Fight Club physique have not materialized. Instead, I'm feeling more like Meatloaf from the movie 'Fight Club'.
That's okay, tho'..... back to the plan (we just won't talk about it.)9 -

🙂 I was just ranting about my first day on the job but after I posted I felt like I sounded lazy and ungrateful.
I’m not though because my whole body hurts so.. and nobody asked but here’s another rant about it.
I’ve never wanted to walk out on day one before but I was tempted. I went from a quarantine of nothing to hauling heavy tile for ten hours while nobody seemed to want to train me or acknowledge me at all so it was confused boredom AND being overworked which is a new hell I’ve never thought of before.
On the bright side I was told that besides carpet, tile is the hardest thing and it can only get easier after this. 🤷🏻♀️ Just bad luck being thrown to the wolves during tile week.5 -

hoping today is easier ♥️ it would make feel so uncomfortable to not be acknowledged like at a party where i didn’t know anyone but also couldn’t leave

I’ve been in the car for 6 hours and really need to pee. But I don’t want to stop because there is only two hours left until my destination and I’m needing a warm bed really bad about now. 🤣1
