Boundary Crossed? Speaking Up is Self-CareIt gives the impression that you're okay with it. When you keep putting up with behaviour that's not okay for you... Because you want to be kind, (which means you value their feelings more than yours),Anger will build up slowly within you.That's because every time you don't speak up for yourself (no matter how small or big the thing is) you're actually turning away from yourself. When you're kind to others at the expense of yourself (minimizing your feelings and needs)...You're hurting yourself.Trade "being liked" for being respected.Speaking up is self-care.
