You dont have to be polite so you can keep the peace and avoid confrontation.
Staying quiet doesnt change the fact that you feel uncomfortable.
Why should they get away with behavior that makes you feel upset, enraged, or invalidated?
Salomé Watel
When someone hurts you, you shouldnt stay quiet so you can avoid confrontation.
Youre allowed to use your voice.
Theyre saying they dont have time to see the situation from your side.
Theyre saying that they agree with the other person as much as they agree with you or maybe moreso.
Your silence is only benefitting them.
Its doing absolutely nothing for you.
It usually means that youre reaching out an olive branch to someone who is refusing to meet you halfway.
It means youre deciding to take the first step since they refuse to do it on their own.
Sometimes, this can lead to an unexpected agreement.
It can cause the other person to admit to their own faults and apologize, too.
Being the bigger person isnt always the best path.
It doesnt always give you the results you want.
Some battles are worth fighting.
If someone is treating you horribly or disrespecting you, then theres nothing wrong with standing up for yourself.
Youre allowed to state your opinion, just like theyve been stating theirs.
You should never let others convince you to keep quiet because your feelings are an inconvenience.
Your feelings are valid.
They deserve to be expressed.
And if anyone disagrees, they might not be the best person to keep around in your life.
The next time someone hurts you, stop to analyze the situation.
You might want to state your expectations and demand more from the people who supposedly care about you.
