I differentiate between 'acting nice' and 'being authentically kind.' Authentic kindness sometimes requires discomfort, telling a hard truth, etc. And kindness applies to everyone, including yourself. It's a balance.

HeyHiHello :
I was the good girl. 40 years old, married, sahm, and I am filled with loneliness and rage. I feel deep down so unloved ans unseen by all the ppl who where meant to care for and guide me. Now I am stronger and have goals, but get push back at every turn. Its hard to accept the past and deal with resentment when the good girl expectations still apply in some ppls mind at this age.

Building Better Relationships :
Yess- I’ve been learning to assert myself and give up the identity of “good”. The fear of being labelled as “selfish” kept me deferring to others at the expense of myself. I made a big move to Ireland away from home (parents not happy) and enrolled in grad school! Finding what I want and how I want to live. 🥰🥰🥰

The crazy thing is that I had a nice guy tell me he was worried I was a good girl. I mean the writing was on the wall there
