I understand this so much. I've also felt like the bigger person all my life and sometimes wish I could just be a little baby. I loved reading this, it made me feel so seen and understood. love your writing janu ❤️
I’ve always said that anger is a sign that your boundaries are being violated. It’s your body telling you that, so it’s important to pay attention to it and also to express it (in healthy and safe ways) as well as establish boundaries with family and friends and loved ones 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I feel like I’ve spent a lifetime letting other people kick my feelings around that I’ve started to treating my own feelings as secondary to others. you think making yourself more convenient to other people will make them like you more, but it’s the exact opposite–no one respects a person that doesn’t respect themselves. thank you for writing this, you put words to a feeling I couldn’t describe myself🫶🏽
I am not a short-tempered person but have reached my limit lately with one-sided expectations of respect with certain people. Suppressing your emotions just causes the anger to build and become chaotic and also reflects on having a very difficult time setting boundaries with others - especially when you've been taught having boundaries is not allowed. This post was so relatable, as always.
More often than not, being the bigger person means suppressing your emotions, and to paraphrase Freud, if anger isn't expressed, it'll return as something much worse.

JANU THIS IS SO POWERFUL AND POIGNANT

This is SO powerful and true Janu!! Felt every single word 💯

This is so true!! Our emotions get suppressed because of others, we are not even allowed to express our anger, because "others" would get hurt.
As expected, another rocking post from Janu!😊❤️✨️
