(fanfic in Harry’s POV)
It is unmatched when it is needed and the person absolutely fucking deserves it.
I’ve never stood up for myself before and always accepted the doormat treatment. But after therapy, learning self love and valuing myself to a point that I understand disrespect, I always stand up for myself and there is no going back.
The thing is sometimes I don’t understand the situation and now I’ve learnt to sit with it and reflect. If I feel the person is being disrespectful, I don’t think twice before blocking them and when needed asking them to go fuck themselves.
I don’t understand why people can’t handle rejection maturely. Let me make it clear to you again, if someone doesn’t like you back, it DOES NOT make them a bad person. Please read that again. So many men whom I met are not mature enough to understand this. We feel what we feel and you cannot force people to like you.
They are bad only and only if they disrespect you. Also, they are bad in your story but might be good in someone else’s. If it’s rape, murder or something brutal they are the villian in everyone’s story. But apart from that, it just means that the energy is not reciprocated because you aren’t compatible and just let go.
When someone disrespects me whatever love I have for them vanishes in a second. I wasn’t like this before but the experiences I’ve had made me this way.
Depending on the disrespect sometimes there is no going back you know. Sometimes when I forget what happened and make peace with it and miss them, I do go back. Because after few years who really cares you know? people grow and evolve with time. But I’m just a tired soul now who doesn’t give away selflessness like candy during Halloween.
There is a certain kind of satisfaction that comes with saying fuck you when needed.
Try it.
