It’s crazy how a single moment of misunderstanding can become so toxic that it makes you forget the thousands of lovely moments you have spent together with someone. Anger has a terrible way of rewriting history
One of my favorite things about myself is that I can take a hint. You don’t have to say much. I’ll notice whatever you’re implying and move accordingly. Save us both the embarrassment.
I once heard this: if someone says something that offends you while you’re right there, just look at them silently for about a minute. Then say, “That’s something I’d expect you to say.” And walk away. Let me tell you, I’ve done this twice before. You could literally see the blood drain from their face. This is and will always be my go-to. It costs me zero energy.
Highly recommend letting people know you're capable of madness from time to time. Especially if you're a quiet, soft spoken person. Disrespect sometimes needs to be met with disrespect.. let mfers know you can go from 0-100 real quick.
you can't teach CONSIDERATION. it’s either a person NATURALLY thinks about you and how something will affect your feelings, your comfort, your safety, your peace of mind, and your heart or they DON'T.
you don’t realize how much your environment affects your mental state until you finally spend time somewhere that feels calm and your body stops feeling tense for once
