Setting boundaries is not a display of disrespect. It’s an expression of self-respect. Declining a request is not a decision to let others down. It’s a commitment to stand up for yourself. Saying no is not an admission of selfishness. It’s an act of self-preservation. link.chtbl.com/RTAdam

Kids who are taught to keep a stiff upper lip become adults who hide their suffering. Appearing composed doesn't mean they aren't hurting. They might be reluctant to show vulnerability or impose on others. The emotions people express aren't always a clue to the pain they feel.

When people are down, they don't want to hear "Cheer up!" Pushing them to be positive invalidates their emotions. They don't want to be told how to feel. They want to know you care about how they feel. The goal isn't always to feel better. Sometimes it's just to be understood.
