Why are you imposing your view of the world on me?
I know who I am.
I am not misrepresenting the facts.
I’m not being dishonest.
I’m being me.
Why can’t you let me be me?
Why do you need me to absolutely align with your expectations or standards?
How come you get to be you but I don’t get to be me?
I’m not an extension of your psyche.
I’m a real person with feelings and thoughts.
I am not valuable or relevant to you if I think and feel exactly the same way.
You don’t get to threaten people’s livelihood or psychological safety to punish those who don’t align with your beliefs.
What I do is not up to you…
