A little while ago, I wrote about how surprising other peoples ideas about you can be. How confusing they are when they are at odds with how you see yourself.
Today, I had an uplifting moment at the end of a stressful, anxious and rather fraught afternoon. While discussing my arsehole colleague’s totally horrible behaviour to me with my work wife, she gave me her usual sensible and measured advice – stop it, ignore him, let him fail.
Then, she said that I’m not any of the things he says I am or implies that he believes me to be. She said I’m kind hearted and generous. I almost cried again.
It means so much to someone use gentle and soft adjectives to describe me. So often I hear fierce, strong, fearless, and even scary. I don’t see any of those things in myself, so its lovely when someone I value so highly sees my soft side primarily.
She totally made my day! And it was a shitty one so that’s saying something.
Feed uplifted.

Sometimes people say mean and horrible things because they feel bad about themselves. Sounds like your work wife values your friendship though. Focus on that and avoid the negativity! 😁🏝
