Quiet

Is the punching bag to your unhealed trauma and insecurities still not giving you the attention you deserve?

Try being quiet around them!

Do it long enough to leave them guessing if they’re the bad person for creating boundaries or excommunication.

Like much of this list, it’s more effective when you’re sharing a space with them.

The same way you feel safe talking them into believing your word is law, your silence can make them inspire care for you again. Even if it’s only to shut you up for a little while.
