While I wasn't necessarily bullied by my peers, I was also somewhat of a pushover in my early years of secondary school.
Until one day, I just stopped to think. Everyone is just like you. Sure, different stature, different perspectives,different upbringing, but they're all just navigating life like you. They don't know what you're capable of, the same way you don't know what they're capable of. And deep down they're also scared or atleast cautious of you at the starting point. It's little by little they start to categorise and have the confidence to try and manipulate you. You give an inch they keep testing limits. So from that initial contact you have to set those boundaries and let them know they can't make you do things you don't want to do.
You're not spineless, you're not weak You're just a good person, and that's a good thing. You just need to set that initial boundary and you'll be fine thereafter.
Stay amazing T ❤️
Yeah, that's the word I was going to use. A pushover. Really terrible thing to be or be likened to. I'll certainly do better, but I just needed this to know that I'm still susceptible to issues like these.
Thank you for the warm response, B0s.❤️
