What do you no longer do ?

[FlowersAndFairiesAndPie]

I don't listen to boring co workers stories of woe and get involved and make myself counsellor. I make the right noises and move on. Been reeled in with all that crap before.

I work to my wage and don't over exert myself whilst others are sitting round gossiping.

I only partake in 2 way relationships. Anyone wish to share what they no longer do?

I don't wear heels
I don't see people I don't want to see
I've ditched any friend or acquaintance I don't really love or like a lot
I don't take the tube, I use cabs instead (don't live in London so this is fine)
I don't work past 6pm
I don't do any cleaning, ironing or washing, husband does it

I can't remember the last time I held an iron. I purchased a hand held steamer which is what I use now when I need to look ironed.

I say yes to more things now and no longer say no.

I no longer make excuses for why I won't do something in order to 'soften the blow'.

I work long hours and love my free time. Free time doesn't mean 'free to do whatever you want'.

'I'll be staying in bed all day watching TV and scrolling TikTok.'

'I'm happy to meet but not before 12, I want a lie in and slow morning'.

'After a really busy week at work, I just want some peace to myself and don't feel up to entertaining'.

I no longer tolerate arseholes or bad behaviour

I no longer care what people (outwith of family and close friends) think about me

I don't shave my underarms or legs

I no longer wear make up

I no longer think about work on my way there or back home again.
I switch off when I leave, and back on again when I arrive the next day. It comes from having previously been freelance for a number of years, and I had to train myself to not think about the job unless it was bookable time I could invoice them for.

I no longer do things I don't want to do, even if that disappoints people. Actually that reminds me, I've got to say no to a request from someone, so I'd better get on with it.

Smoke
Drink much
Enjoy water slides 🙁

I no longer wear heels or go out drinking for the night. I will go out for dinner with a drink but I want to be home at a decent time.

I'm no longer sucked into tales of woe or try to help or listen unless they are friends. I keep front and centre what's really going on and whether or not they've helped me.

I do not mask someone else not doing their job. I do mine that's all.

Go on the big swinging galleon-type rides at theme parks. I don't like them and I couldn't care less if my DC call me a chicken. I happily hold their coats and bags while they have a go or 5.

I do as I please !!
I am a lot more selfish than I’ve ever been !
I do what I want to do and I don’t do anything I don’t want to under no circumstances!!
Hahahahah i think it’s an age thing to be honest but I am so much happier now x

I don’t go on any big fun fair rides, I’ve never really enjoyed them but used to because others were, now I couldn’t care less what anyone thinks, I don’t go.

Finish a book if i don't like it.
Suffer fools.
Don't say yes to things i don't want to do.
Pay the bbc.
Go anywhere over crowded.
Feel the need to be 'out out'.

I have always said no to this !!!
no way hell on earth wud I make myself ill 😷

I no longer wear small pants.
I no longer wear heels
I no longer worry what people think.or say about me
I no longer volunteer for extra things at work
I no longer worry about saying no, I use the stock MM phrase " Sorry, that's not going to work for me"

Finish books
Give a shiny shit about anyone's opinion
Wear makeup
Eat meat
Worry about 'is this on trend,' 'is it too young for me' - not that I did much anyway. If I like it and it's comfortable, I wear it.
Put up with idiot managers

My people!

I don’t say yes, when I mean no.
Ive stopped helping people who never return the favour.
I don’t ‘carry extras’ like paracetamol or hat fever tablets - I say no.
I don’t offer lifts that will lead to regular lifts.

I don't have anyone in my life who doesn't bring positivity.
People please
Go to things I don't want to go to
Give a shit about what others think of me

Just out of interest, how many of us are menopausal? 😉

Drink alcohol
Have friends
Work full time
Stay at social events a moment longer than I want to

Oh yes and wear heels, thongs, wired bras and anything else uncomfortable/impractical.

Post. For years. The liberation is INSANE.

I don't let anyone get away with not pronouncing my " foreign" name properly, or worse saying " May I call you by your initial". No, you jolly well may not. Try harder.

Wear bras or shave my legs.
Still wear short, cute outfits though!
I thought I'd be embarrassed about my saggy boobs and hairy legs in public but have found actually I just feel free. It's wonderful.

I don’t iron
I don’t feel I have to accept an invitation I don’t want to
I don’t feel i have to wear heels so I live in trainers now (comfy)
I don’t believe all that I’m told by people
I don’t put up with toxic people anymore

My list would be very long indeed. Okay I'll just give you a few, smoking, wearing makeup, going abroad smoking dope, smoking cigarettes drinking alcohol wearing heels, wearing knickers

No longer drink
No longer care whether people like me
No longer allow my anxiety and intrusive thoughts to stop me (work in progress)
