Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What’s an embarrassing phase you went through?
Absolute people pleaser to a fault. I've had my pendulum period of adjustment (meaning I fluctuated between being too nice and being an asshole) over a couple of years ago. Glad to say that I'm at that Goldilocks spot of being courteous/tactful without being too much of a jerk (unless warranted).
Hindsight being 20/20, it was really painful to look back on just how much I bent my back over/hoops I had to jump through to just please people/avoid their displeasure. The rage upon finding out i was being duped/used is real, but I'm glad I had some sort of a support system to smooth out the rough edges of my temper. 0/10 would not let anyone go through this.
Remember: trashy peoples' opinion of you are a dime a dozen, and there are more than a dozen toxic people out there.
Choose wisely who you spend your fucks on.
