Personally for me, it’s when you really need to put someone in their place after you’ve incurred so much bullshit injustice from individuals. That, they become the one person who has reached your peak and now you’ve got to step in and do something.

    You may want to read up in healthy boundaries. Being the better person doesn’t mean putting up with “bullshit injustice,” it means not sinking to the other person’s level. Acting with dignity and honor instead of malice and vengeance.

      I’m working on this, and I’m no spring chicken. Career doormat for other people.

      I just can’t suck it up anymore if I’m annoyed, particularly if I’m minding my own business and some one is trying to be a dick.

      Instead of sucking it up, I let people know ‘hey, not cool’ and ratchet it from there. It takes a lot to get under my skin, since there isn’t much that people can say that I havent said to myself while 6" in front of a mirror. If they insist, though, I just start turning that internal mantra outwards. Words are pretty effective and shutting people up.
