![]() ![]() I don’t believe you should be forced to interact with someone toxic simply because they’re family or because you’ve known them forever. I’m not going to put myself through stress, just to seem polite. I deserve to feel comfortable. I’m not going to deal with someone who treats me disrespectfully. So when I’m not cutting others out, they’re cutting me out.Ħ. They don’t actually want to grow or better themselves. Most of the time, people don’t like getting called out when they’re wrong. I’m not going to let you get away with being an asshole. I’m not going to let you make jokes at someone else’s expense.

They clearly don’t deserve a second of my time.ģ. They clearly don’t mean what they’re saying. But if they repeat the behavior, then it doesn’t matter if they sputter out an apology. If they do it once, I might give them another shot. I’m not going to keep getting mad at someone for disrespecting me. Life is too short to have the same arguments over and over again. There are some people who I have outgrown.Ģ. And there are some people I simply don’t want to put up with anymore now that I have raised my standards. Now that I’m finally standing up for myself, it causes problems in my friendships and relationships. I’m done remaining silent when someone says something hurtful or offensive.
