I mean this in the nicest way of course, but:
I would love to yell and tell you all the awful things you've ever done that bother me and all the annoying things you've ever said and all the stupid comments that you've made, make you feel terrible for the times I've cried because of you, and make you realize that just because I was quiet doesn't mean it didn't hurt. (Meant to be read in one breath, in a slightly pissed off voice)
Now, there's a difference between being polite, quiet and shy. Then there's just being passive and not being able to stand up for yourself.
Yes, there are strangers who might piss you off, there are those secondary people who may make the occasional comment (you generally don't care about this, because they're freakin' secondary anyway).
Then there are the worst ones of all, the frenemie.
You're really close with this person, and have moments where you feel like you could trust them with your life. But then there are times where you don't even know why you put up with them. They make snarky comments, and the worst part is that they know exactly what your weak spot is, and they go for it.
Why do you even have this person in your life? Well, in all honesty anyone who makes you feel awful about yourself, and it goes past the point of a joke should not be in your life. You should surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you, make you laugh and stick around when things get difficult. Those people are your real friends.
But sometimes, it's your own fault. You've stayed quiet for so long, they think it's okay and you don't care.
But it's time for you to defend yourself, fight back. Don't lose your friend, but never put your self-respect on the line.
It's time to say what's deep within.
