stel ✨: letting yourself be a bit prickly after a lifetime of conflict avoidance is loving yourself actually

letting yourself be a bit prickly after a lifetime of conflict avoidance is loving yourself actually

extremely important message

i know i’ve gotten more prickly since removing the many masks that got me to this place and i’ve been hard on myself because of it - like i gotta be nicer…for some reason? people pleasing is what got me in a lot of this mess to begin with, so no. this feels really good to read, thanks stel.

I think about this all the time. not there yet but strongly manifesting prickly june

i never want to lose my empathy but im tired of being timid

You can do it. Us Junes are amazing.

Trying so hard to internalize this

What feels prickly now is actually just normal, boundary-building behavior. You’ll become used to it. Then you’ll begin to LOVE it. ❤️
