Assertiveness wahala

Hi boo,

I wish we could start this newsletter on a soft note but then again, I’d rather not.

People can lie! Haba !

If you know me, you would testify to how I'm always trying to learn new stuff and be a better person yeah?

Today's drama is sponsored by a lesson that was inspired by Pinterest.

I would share the pin here but let everybody collect their two portion abeg.

The pin talked about assertiveness, something along the lines of speaking your mind and enforcing your boundaries.

Cool stuff. I like . Jesus would approve. Let's do it .

I analysed my life and decided to practice with the part of my life that needed the most assertiveness; work. I sat down, typed an email while rechecking to make sure I was on track and actually being assertive.

I asked AI to refine , make it more assertive and also draft a script for stand up meeting the next day.

Guys, why did nobody tell me that some people are mad enough to ignore assertiveness?

Like once I muted my mic , that was it. No feedback. No change. Nothing?

I was hurt. Very much so because I hate being ignored.

I went back to my drawing board to learn a few more things about assertiveness and it turns out, I did nothing wrong.

Pinterest just wasn't familiar with that level of cray cray and toxicity. 😂

Interesting times fr.

Sha Sha ,

Here’s my advice that nobody asked for:

Assertiveness is something you must to commit to.

Do it over and over , practice and most importantly remember that people can choose to receive it however their EQ carries it and that’s not on you.

Should you beat them if their acceptance no make?

Yes! By all means!

Beat anybody!

♥️ & ✨,

Luyaah, the assertive.
