I’m so fucking tired of people walking around like they owe the world an apology for existing. Like, why the hell are we all so obsessed with tiptoeing around everyone’s delicate little feelings? Newsflash: you’re allowed to take up space, you’re allowed to be loud, you’re allowed to exist without constantly worrying about whether or not you’re making someone uncomfortable.
Look, if your very existence is a problem for someone, guess what? That’s on them, not you. People are so damn obsessed with being likable or agreeable, it’s pathetic. You know who’s likable? People who are real. People who speak their mind and don’t give a flying fuck if someone gets offended because they dared to have an opinion. If you’re out here bending over backwards to make everyone around you happy, you’re doing life wrong.
Start saying “no” more. No, you don’t have to hang out with people you don’t like. No, you don’t have to pretend to care about shit you don’t care about. And no, you don’t have to be fucking perfect all the time. You know what perfection gets you? A whole lot of anxiety and absolutely no fun. Perfection is a myth, and everyone trying to sell you that bullshit is just hiding their own mess under the surface.
So here’s your wake-up call: Stop apologizing for not being everyone’s cup of tea. Some people are fucking coffee. Some people are shots of tequila. Own that. Start taking up space, start saying what you really mean, and stop wasting your life trying to fit into some tiny, cramped little box that the world tells you to stay in. Life’s too short for that, and frankly, I don’t have time to watch people shrink themselves down anymore.
Be loud. Be chaotic. Be a goddamn force of nature. If people can’t handle it, they can find the door, because you don’t owe them a damn thing.

what about like if say youre like in a public setting like lets say perhaps, for the sake of the argument, a train. Does this attitude hold up?

Honestly, I loved your post. I always try to be careful with everything I say and everything I do to other people. I know it's wrong, but I can't help but keep doing it. I don't know, I think I have a toxic relationship with my brain xD.
But lately I've been trying to speak more and to stop being afraid. It's hard, it's so hard and I'm still anxious and it still hurts. But I keep a little hope, to not give up, because I hope some day I will get over it.
This post isn't exactly a life-revelation post that made me change my whole point of view, but it encourages me to keep trying to be myself a little more.
So yeah, that's it xD
