Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

That’s a good thing. I tend to people please so maintaining my boundaries has been tough, but I’m working on it!
I used to be a people pleaser. Something I learned to do in my childhood. It took me many years to overcome. I had an excellent teacher help me learn to stand firm in my boundaries and listen to my own voice. Understanding why I did it was also very helpful. Yes, it is tough but worth it in the end. I wish you much success on your journey.
