pretty girls do not get to be “nice” in peace. if you stay soft, people test you. if you speak up, they label you. that is why pretty girls learn to be a little bit of a b••••, not loud, not cruel, just firm. because some friendships are not built on love. they are built on access. they want proximity to your glow, but they want control over it too. so they poke at your confidence like it is a loose thread. they make little jokes that are not jokes. they act supportive, but only when you are “humble enough” to not make them feel exposed. and the moment you stop shrinking, you become the problem. this is your reminder that boundaries are not attitude. boundaries are self respect. if you have been feeling that weird tension where you cannot win, you are probably not imagining it. you are just finally reading the room correctly. and when you can read it, you can leave it. 🤍 comment CONNECT or go to the link in my bio for the guide i mentioned. i recently renamed it, and it is there to help you clock these patterns early, stop blaming yourself, and start choosing friendships that feel mutual and safe.
