There are some people in your life you have to be nice to, even when you really don’t like them: your teachers, your boss, your school principal, maybe even your best friend’s boyfriend she’s obsessed with even though he actually sucks. But that doesn’t mean that you have to sit there and let yourself get treated badly by every different kind of person ever. There’s a really big difference between being a genuine person and being a pushover.
I’ve recently learned that I can stop being nice to the people who don’t really treat me great, and it’s been such a freeing realization.
