@autumn_kristien: Asking for what you want requires you to know what you don’t like. Which requires internal awareness. That then allows you to live more boldly externally. #earnedsecureattachment
definitely. secure attachment is all about having a core belief that your desires, needs and agency matter the same amount as every other human’s, understanding that that requires a constant active collaboration with other humans, and that it is a gift to take part in.

It makes you trust yourself too. There’s a mind and body coherence which will show up as confidence, deep confidence that doesn’t shake easily.

i also correct my nail tech as soon as i don’t like something before she does it on all 10 fingers, they’d rather you tell them so they can correct it quickly than waiting until they’re done to complain. speak up for yourself and you’ll get what you want!

Yes . I’ve been practicing this all year . In dating and friendships . I also feel like you have a right to respond to misalignment as you please without long conversations or drama .

I wouldn’t bother the bartender with my tastes and opinions unless he made the drink wrong. If I ordered a vodka martini and he made me a gin one, I’ll let him know. If I asked for a tropical fruity drink and it has more coconut than I love, I keep that to myself and go “guess that’s not for me”, not like he did anything wrong

So happy I’ve learned to speak up. Like you don’t get a reward for suffering! Accepting less than you expected is not kindness its weakness. It’s all about how you go about it !

Also a hot take if the only time you can have hard conversations or set boundaries or you know, just be a secure person is just with your romantic relationships like you are not doing that with your friendships with just people in general obviously things are going to look different and different relationships you’re not as secure as you think. I think a lot of people will have hard conversations. We do all these things for their romantic relationships and dating, but they will not do any of that with their friendships and that’s what makes them really bad friends to be honest

but like, if we're trying something new and it doesn't slap the way we expect, that's not on them, so definitely bring it up kindly and make it about being a personal preference than the thing actually being "bad"

I settle for NOTHING I don’t like! A nail color, a drink, a meal. I speak up just to always be ok with discomfort of stating my feelings

Not speaking up or addressing things asap only creates friction later down the line. It’s always better to gain clarity now than to allow small things to add up & create confusion later. I do not like to be passive. Sometimes being bold doesn’t align with others but that’s not yours to carry.

Doing this with God first, helped me SOOO much earthly wise. It’s opened and closed lots of doors but has maintained consistent peace regardless of the outcome.
