Regardless of what type of relationship you’re in: familial, friend, or romantic, it’s important to speak up and communicate your thoughts and feelings right away. Never assume the other person knows what they’ve said or done to cross your boundaries.
What you shouldn’t do is hold your tongue for the sake of upholding the peace between you and them. You’re going to resent them and yourself for not speaking up.
You don’t want to bottle up everything for days, weeks, and months, only to explode on that person when you’ve reached your max tolerance.
Don’t wait to speak your mind. As soon as something you don’t like occurs or you just have a desire for a certain outcome, you must communicate it to that person. Don’t be afraid to rock the boat. If the person has a problem with you enforcing your boundaries or your wishes, then that person is not for you, anyway.
Communicating your thoughts and feelings as the healthiest thing you can do for your relationships and for your own mental health. So get over your fear of upsetting the other person. Better them than you! Oh, and this applies to strangers too.
Be unapologetic and authentically you. If they don’t like it, their loss, not yours. You need to take care of you first and foremost. And you need to protect your inner peace.
PS if you don't speak up, your confidence & self-esteem are going to suffer

It is powerful to stay calm and silent after touching or mixing with narcisist. But sometimes it is need to stand up for your rights and defend yourself. because if you will stay the same they will make a plan approach of how you can be treated bad inn the society and there is your life is gone in vain and a inncoent way. it feels very scared to be mistreated by this way because you will feel rejected by everybody while you are doing better then them. thats make you limmited.you can not go furtgher in the society then people make choices how to continue in their lifes… some of them take stupid decisons it depends on your value or your worth.
It really inspiring. I really struggle to speak out until explode on certain levels of tolerance. Thanks hope I will work out on this. Thank you Chris
A lot of those having suffered abuse, hate the sound of their own voice. Minimising the bad behaviour along the way. So lose their voice in so many ways. Feeling they don’t count. So this info is profound encouraging us to speak & be heard. Thanks Chris
Your a very inspiring person to me ☺️
I enjoy listening to the uplifting TikTok messages. What resonates is found to be on point, as it is worthwhile to recognize obstacles felt and somehow overcome certain feelings, with love. I bear no grudge; but, I respect the need for distance, with the hope that one day, the brainwashing culprit (if culpable) can be ousted for good.
