Speak your truth, be yourself and if people don’t accept you then it is their loss, not yours!
If people don’t value your reality, your kindness, your honesty then they don’t deserve your time or your love.
When speaking your truth, have you ever felt overwhelmed with emotion? What has the emotion been? Anger, frustration, sadness, loss, disappointment?
The worst of all these for me was always frustration and then deep sadness..
When talking to a narcissistic parent, you feel all of these times 10!
Continuing to speak your truth despite the pain, frustration, loss and anger is very important…Don’t ever let anyone keep you silent..
Love Athina ♥

It takes courage to speak your truth–but sometimes it’s the only way to discover what that truth is.

I’ve felt all of those emotions when attempting to do so; but when I was finally able to speak without fear, I felt empowerment.

HI,
I believe it’s important to speak the truth as long as it’s constructive. Otherwise, the person who holds the tongue will feel frustrated, as you pointed out.
I know Robert. I met you on Jason Cushman’s blog at his Meet and Greet. You indicated you were looking forward to meeting new bloggers, so I came over. Maybe you can check out my blog if you need a blogging tip or two. That’s what I write about. Like Jason, I also have Meet and Greets, two a month.
Here is a link to my About page, so you can read more about my blog.
