You can only push someone so far before they SNAP.
It’s a fact!
And this story proves it…
Read on and see what happened in this story from Reddit.
The straw that broke the camel’s back.
“I don’t know if it happens to you, but in my family there is always that person who feels entitled to have an opinion on everything.
There’s always one…
In my case, she’s a girl.
She always has something to say: that if I gained weight, that if I should dress “more feminine”, that if at my age I should already have this or that…
And she says it like that, smiling, as if it were advice. But one feels the poison hidden between the lines.
I kept quiet for a long time. I laughed uncomfortably, I changed the subject, I endured the lump in my throat. Because, well… it’s family, isn’t it?
She finally had enough.
Until one day I got tired. She looked at me from top to bottom and threw me:
“Oh, baby… and when are you going to do something serious with your life?”
And it was as if I pressed the last button I had left.
I smiled calmly at her (as if my hands didn’t tremble inside) and replied:
“When you start to respect yours and stop living pending mine.”
Total silence.
Bam!
I didn’t say it screaming, I didn’t say it with a scolding. I said it from the boredom.
And that day I understood that sometimes, setting limits is not disrespectful.
It’s starting to respect yourself.”
