So you know what I have learnt, especially this year. Most people don’t like women with a voice. Many people (men & women) fear someone who is smart (EQ & IQ).
They fear authenticity and mostly change (unless they think it’s their idea).
See they want you to just “play nice”. I mean what the f**k is nice. Smile. Look pretty. Don’t say anything at all. Nod. Agree. Don’t raise your voice. Don’t disagree. Be seen & not heard. Be ordinary, but not too ordinary because at work they want your skills to make them look amazing. Dont be too smart - well don’t be smarter than them. Don’t answer back. Stay quiet.
Not being nice doesn’t mean not being Kind, compassionate, loving. But I’ll keep those things for who are deserving (and those who are deserving will love your authenticity).
Setting boundaries and using my voice is far better than being Nice. Nice is beige.
