It's about realizing you have a limited life span, most of which you've wasted on useless things, and now you're pissed as hell. It's about refusing to look away from who you are, and the weaknesses that have stolen your joy one too many times. It's about refusing to control others through manipulation of words or actions, and not giving a damn how they feel about it. Stop faking your life; stop mincing your words, taking people all around the block. Work on yourself; stop trying to get others to change. People generally change when they are tired of hurting, and not a moment sooner. Above all, give a damn about yourself. You aren't a doormat; you aren't property. Say NO when you mean it. YOU dictate how your life goes. If you do that, others will want it for themselves. You only get what you put out. Show people how they can have it by being it.",

If we go back to BRAVING and our trust checklist, these situations require a keen eye on: 1. Boundaries. What’s okay in a discussion and what’s not? How do you set a boundary when you realize you’re knee-deep in BS? 2. Reliability. Bullshitting is the abandonment of reliability. It’s hard to trust or be trusted when we BS too often. 3. Accountability. How do we hold ourself and others accountable for less BS and more honest debate? Less off-loading of emotion and more civility? 4. Vault. Civility honors confidentiality. BS ignores truth and opens the door to violations of confidentiality. 5. Integrity. How do we stay in our integrity when confronted with BS, and how do we stop in the midst of our own emotional moment to say, “You know what, I’m not sure this conversation is productive” or “I need to learn more about this issue”? 6. Nonjudgment. How do we stay out of judgment toward ourselves when the right thing to do is say, “I actually don’t know much about this. Tell me what you know and why it’s important to you.” How do we not go into “winner/loser” mode and instead see an opportunity for connection when someone says to us, “I don’t know anything about that issue”? 7. Generosity. What’s the most generous assumption we can make about the people around us? What boundaries have to be in place for us to be kinder and more tolerant? I know that the practice of speaking truth to bullshit while being civil feels like a paradox, but both are profoundly important parts of true belonging.”",
