I demand equality. Too long and too often, I've allowed people who are so-called "friends" to push me around, manipulate me, take advantage of me, and treat me like dirt. It has not escaped my notice that when I take a stand, I am in for huge doses of guilt and resentment because I am rocking the boat. Frankly I've had enough of being treated like trash, and most of these people are no longer in my life. I am assertive, I demand equality in relationships-in fact, I shied away from relationships because I couldn't stand being tied down, and being told what I could and couldn't do. I am in my rebellious teenage years (heh. kidding) and there's no way I'm going to let a partner replace my parents. Fortunately, I got lucky and found a man who's willing to let me be me.
I also DESPISE society's views that if you take any time for yourself, or your well-being, you are selfish. I'm not opposed to being nice to others, but not to the point where you're hurting yourself. According to society we must always put others first, and if we dare to take care of ourselves, we're being horrible and selfish, and we'll be treated to lots of guilt to make us correct our behavior. Of course it's complete bullshit, but I've been called a Bitch for not buying into this. (and selfish, more times than I can count).
I'm sick of being walked over and expected to bow down to everyone's needs. FUCK THAT. I'm a proud Heartless Bitch and I'm going to look after myself. Respect and love are two way streets. Show me that you can respect me and it'll go a long way to making me respect you.
