@CitrustPebbles Thank you!! 💛💛 (this gif is amazing)

[Michelle LaCroix 🚢 @theheartyfig]

On the excruciating guilt of getting what you asked for. 😳

@SaidWithCourage Thank you! It was a thoroughly queasy experience, let me tell you 😂

@SaidWithCourage I love that you're finding success with that! I've done a version of the same, trying to push myself to 'network' and make connections inside a few communities I've joined, too. Makes such a difference.

(Step 1: assume it's no big deal. Step 2: stop calling it 'networking' 🤣)

[Michelle LaCroix 🚢 @theheartyfig]

"Assume it's no big deal" is my new favorite tack for delivering push-back, and starting an honest conversation.

(It might not always be true, but the stress and angst it saves me is 💯 worth it.)

@CitrustPebbles “The random stranger who is annoying me by existing” made me laugh out loud—a telltale sign that it touched on truth! So good.

Reflections on perspective-taking and patience, from the frozen aisle in Trader Joe's 👇

@MichelePalter Such a great callout, Michele. That whole “I hate how this is going, but I also don’t want to have to be the one to take ownership and change it” thing is… relatable, to say the least 😅

[Michelle LaCroix 🚢 @theheartyfig]

Passive aggression is defined as, "the expression of negative feelings, resentment, and aggression in an unassertive passive way.”

We don’t need a dictionary to know when we’re on the receiving end of it. 😤

But it's a whole lot easier to justify when we're the ones USING it.

[Michelle LaCroix 🚢 @theheartyfig]

@JaredOdle Oof, in the moments when I’m willing to be honest with myself… I’m sure I’d come to the same conclusion. Gotta love that ego! 🙃

@ship30for30 Step 1 to Becoming Someone Who Sets Boundaries with More Ease 👇

[Michelle LaCroix 🚢 @theheartyfig]

Your value as a person ≠ your willingness to be convenient, agreeable, or low-maintenance.

Boundaries are for everyone, even (ahem, especially) for those of us who identify as conflict avoiders, people-pleasers, and natural helpers. #tweet100

Good news: you don’t have to choose between being warm and compassionate, or being clear and forthright. 💛

@JaredOdle "Conflict and friction mean we are working and interacting with others." love that framing, it's so true. Friction isn't a sign something's broken, it's a sign that we're willing to engage.

[Michelle LaCroix 🚢 @theheartyfig]

This one's for anxious conflict-avoiders and accidental water-spillers everywhere 💛
