Day Two on my Notes of Compassion blog I question whether Niceness and Compassion can be mutually exclusive and set goals for the week.
I’ve started a different blog that will hold me accountable as I try to become a more compassionate person. Feel free to check it out.
January 18th I will be participating in the internet blackout in protest of SOPA/PIPA. SOPA might be shelved for now but it shouldn’t exist at all. If you don’t know what SOPA is go here then go here and send a letter to your representative telling him or her you do NOT support internet censorship.
One of - if not, the - most important thing you’ll read all day.
“When these women receive any sort of push back to their reactions, they often brush it off by saying, “Forget it, it’s okay.”
That “forget it” isn’t just about dismissing a thought, it is about self-dismissal. It’s heartbreaking.
No wonder some women are unconsciously passive aggressive when expressing anger, sadness, or frustration. For years, they have been subjected to so much gaslighting that they can no longer express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them.
They say, “I’m sorry” before giving their opinion. In an email or text message, they place a smiley face next to a serious question or concern, thereby reducing the impact of having to express their true feelings.”
