Another thread about the OP learning to say no to people has inspired me.
I’ve only recently started to push back against the deeply embedded good girl in me who always put others first. As others in the aforementioned thread said I am amazed at how liberated I feel since I started to say no and stand up for myself.
I often read on MN about women who have become silent (or silenced) in their relationships and it’s really sad.
So I’d like to start a thread where people can share their stories of why and how they learned to get their voices back and how it’s changed their lives in the hope of inspiring more to do the same.
