I have a friend who is always saying, "I'm just too nice". She complains about her salary, but has she asked for a raise? Nooooooo......she's "too nice". She complains about her sister and mom being rude and nasty to her, but has she told them that their comments are abrasive and hurt her feelings? Nope, she's just way "too nice" (wah wah waaaaaaaah).
This just in.....Complaining and whining about people behind their backs is not being too nice. It's called being passive aggressive and whimpy. Telling someone not to belittle you, etc is not rude or mean. There are endless ways to let someone know they cannot walk all over you in a professional, tactful manner.
Bottom line....whining isn't attractive, whimpy isn't nice, and neither of these traits burn calories!!! And I would much rather be known as a strong bitch than a wimpy girl.
Ok, I'm off my soap box now! Let's all have a great weekend!!! Xoxox
