It really sucks when ppl don’t realize how much I sacrifice to accommodate them. How much I give up, change, or inconvenience myself to make things easier for them.
I noticed it’s insecure people with a craving for power or authority, who will try to minimize you, humble you, or attempt to dim your light. Stand up tall and fix your posture. You’re allowed to disagree with people and not be disrespected, demeaned and diminished. People who care about status and control, tend to despise and/or are jealous of intelligent, articulate, outspoken thinkers. Remain graceful and don’t be manipulated. Never shrink. Make eye contact and ask questions. Take up space.
