I’ve been in your shoes. And it was the result of how my parent treated me in adolescence. Thankfully, I’ve entered a ”honey badger” stage of my life. Wish I did it earlier. We should allow ourselves be tough on people who disrespect us.
“But the truth is, joy, softness, masculinity, and depth can all exist at once, in the same body. In my body. I shouldn’t have to cut pieces of myself away just to be taken seriously.”

Yes they can all co-exist and you deserve to take up space in all that you are!
“I’m not asking to be worshipped. I’m asking to be seen, fully. To be heard without translation. To be honored in all the ways I exist.” OMG, that blew me away. This was so good—thank you for sharing and for being so vulnerable. I hope you get the love and respect you deserve✨
Took the words right out of my mouth. I just never knew how to explain it and it’s weird that I’m only given respect when I portray toxic masculine traits, I hate it and I don’t want to be like that at all.
