I went to therapy today and discussed my inability to stand up for myself. Tonight there was an issue with my dinner order and I was ensuring the correct information was being stated to the staff in a calm and firm way. My partner jumped in. He told me to step outside. I was not being confrontational just direct and it was shut down. I’m never going to get better. I’m going to stay stuck in this terrible headspace cause whenever I try to grow someone I know shuts me down. Which is how I got to this position in the first place.
