이런 유형의 사람들이 더 공격받는 경우가 많은 듯함. 나 역시 타인의 평가나 사회적 서열에 크게 관심이 없고 감정 표현도 적은 편임. 웬만한 일에는 동요하지 않고, 경쟁하거나 기싸움을 벌이는 일도 무시함. 그래서 주변에서는 안정적이고 흔들리지 않는 사람으로 보는 편. 그런데

The issue. They want you to give up. You’re not giving up. They’ll try to manage you. You still won’t give up.
Never give up.

I have a particular fear of deeply insecure people. Some can be incredibly manipulative and vindictive. When someone's ego is fragile and their need for validation goes unmet, you never really know how far they'll go to protect it.

my not-favorite version of myself is not being able to perform care when ive been pushed beyond my limit of empathy. because now, i have to vehemently protect myself and stand for what feels right for me.

Most have gone through trauma which fortified them.
this is why it’s so important for people to love what they do.
I was catching up on Ora Thlapi’s videos and had to record this part. Her idea of using colour-coded stickers for morning, afternoon and evening medication is so clever. Imagine how helpful this would be for elderly people in our villages and townships who struggle to read medication instructions, especially when they're written in a language they don't understand. She identified a real problem and came up with such a practical solution. I really hope this gets implemented in more hospitals and clinics. ❤

talking in terms of what’s “right” is often a deflection from talking about *what you want.* and we’re often referring to the exact same behavior: for ex I can both Be and Choose a kind, upstanding, communicative partner. the difference is in how I justify it
I've become very radicalized on the idea that most relationship problems come from 1) people not being self-aware enough to identify what they want and 2) consciously choosing/tolerating situations where they aren't getting what they want. The whole "needs" discourse makes me crazy for this reason: another person is not obligated to give you what you "need," but you are obligated to yourself to decide how much it matters to you if they don't

You have to be able to hold people accountable for how they treat you, whether that means confronting them, cutting them off, or simply distancing yourself. Whatever approach you choose, you must never allow people to disrespect you.

It’s very simple this thing. If we fumble this, I’m buying a stand in Limpopo and building my future home. Gauteng would’ve failed me.
