It is a skill I am working on developing. I’m used to being (probably overly) agreeable, but I’ve come to realize that a lot of people read that as weakness or naïveté and try to take advantage of it. I have a hard time threading the needle of being polite but firm.

As I’ve gotten older, it’s very true, but younger me put up with a lot of bullshit

this is me now

been told I’m legit one of the nicest people ever but I have a zero tolerance for any bullshit and I WILL get aggressive if I need to
