WEIRD REQUEST!!! I KNOW!! But I don’t know how to stand my ground because I immediately feel shame and guilt if I defend myself and I am a SUPER people pleaser to * exclusively * friends I know don’t appreciate me. My reader says to read books like the 48 laws of power, she says in this life we have to be a little narcissistic otherwise you end up like ME! I’ve tried self love books but they always emphasize taking the high road and all that’s led to is people bullying me and using me as a punching bag because I was told not to react and to “ignore them”. I don’t want that anymore. I want a book that will rewire my brain to put myself first, and TRULY believe that I deserve good, and master detachment without turning me into a major pushover at the same time.
