i will no longer bend for you

Postby BadgerBuddies » Sat Sep 04, 2021 8:54 am

for all my years of living my kindness has gotten me taken advantage of left and right. because of my poor mental health i accepted it for all these years and allowed people to take advantage of my kindness and need to please others. the final straw a few years ago hurt me so badly, and left deep scars that i'm still not over, and i never want to hurt that way again, and i never want to end up in a friendship where i am being used for my kindness, someone knowing that I would bend over backwards for the people that i care about. I refuse to bend for those who do this anymore. I am tired. But it frustrates me that now, even standing up for myself, even friends standing up for the group of us, our calls are falling onto deaf ears. cutting toxic people out of your life is always the best thing to do for your health and sanity, but they never tell you what to do when someone you work with, who you can't cut out of your life, is the one treating you so poorly. I don't know what we will do, but i do know this: i will not bend.

yes. its a pink heifer. not a bull. not a big cow. not a strong color. pink. heifer. it doesn't matter how small you are, it doesn't matter what you look like or sound like. you are never too small to stand up for yourself. don't be like how i was, please<3

Badger you been spyin on me. You're describing my life rn. Sorry you went through that, so proud of you for standing up tall anyway. I've also had to cut out people, and those cuts are deep and still hurt, but it was the right thing to do. I don't know what to do about someone you work with if you can't change departments/shifts/jobs. I hope the answer shows itself soon, and that it's one that doesn't add to your pain.
