“everyone always leaves me in the end” can be a self-fulfilling prophecy if you’re emotionally immature enough
“i don’t want to start all over” you’ve bought into a trap that works against you and keeps you where you never were meant to stay. it is in your best interest to start all over hundreds and hundreds of times. i start all over in the middle of the day if i must. i have been thousands of people in my one body and my one life. i hope to be thousands more. the only power we have is to start all over and over and over and over.
So i chopped off your fingers. whatever. Your real enemies are the oligarchs who run this country
people got mad the last time i said this but you HAVE to stop pretending that people of the past were more intellectual and thoughtful and you need to model yourself after them because modernity pales in comparison. that's nazi shit
basically
being a bitch actually saves you a lot of time
they’ll think you’re a bitch anyway for having some reasonable boundary so you might as well just be a bitch sometimes and save yourself the trouble, the time, the energy, the money, etc
This is going to sound overly Pollyanna-ish but I am discovering I do not know how to be a bitch?
The Good Girl training runs deep - but also, whenever I have tried to let my inner bitch out (because she does still exist somewhere in there), it doesn’t come out in that strong, bad-ass bitchy kinda way.
It just comes out in a whiny, slightly passive-aggressive way. Or I just end up bypassing the “don’t mess with me” thing entirely and going straight into the “mentally unstable/she needs serious help” zone. Which is never good and definitely not empowering.
Anyway, any tips re: how to be a bitch would be appreciated!
is there something that makes you feel powerful and confident? channel the bitch from there. before bitchy and assertive became natural to me, i felt powerful in big block heels—i was the tallest woman in the room. couldn’t say shit to me, i wouldn’t hear it that high up in the world. i could say no or get lost or fuck off from that high and feel totally untouchable. it felt like a lot like putting on my much bitchier and tougher alter ego until it came naturally.

this was considered an outlandish joke in 2014
