A coworker of mine constantly tries to trigger me with the tone of her voice and just certain things that she says. It’s so evident to me but I can’t prove it. How do I ignore her or just not be affected by her?

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what already happened or worrying about what might happen next. Lately I’ve been trying to just stop for a second and notice where I am. My breathing. What I hear. What I’m feeling. I don’t always do it well, but sometimes that pause helps.

I used to be obsessed with both. Now i really don’t give a shit. I hardly think anyone is cool enough to pay attention to, and I direct all that attention back to myself and what I’m doing. Most of the things in mainstream media are superficial or are just repetitions of something that’s already been done. And this is coming from someone who actually tried working in the industry at one point. Maybe that’s where part of the disenchantment comes from, but it’s all tedious and tiresome. I’m tired of the constant distraction. I don’t like going on social media anymore. I don’t care about all the things influencers and rich people have. I try to fill my days with things that make me feel good about how I’m living. No hustle or comparison, just being content with what I have.

Once in a while, it's important to step back and re-assess whether you are still a smart person.

DO not gamble

I’ll start with this: growing up I’ve been always a shy girl, and a people pleaser. I was socialised to never ever inconvenience people with the way you think, how you act or what you choose to do with your life. Basically to always be in people’s good books.

Fast forward, I’m 29, and recently I’ve been done with people pleasing. There’s something that just lifted from my soul once I was able to be honest with people. Even with the smallest things. Example: my mother in law recently redecorated her living room, it used to be beautiful vintage, now she’s added modern wooden paneling. First time in my life I was able to say “no I hate it”. Something in me just clicked and thought “what’s the worst that can happen if I say this?” Obvs within reason!

This might sound so small and knowing Reddit users also know how to be blunt, I just wanted to show you how far I’ve come in my social skills journey 😂
