Silenced? Never Again

this is a cat doodle I made she was put on the spot just like how I felt today

I'm so frustrated. I just made a suggestion to a friend, and they completely undermined and mocked me. I don't understand why. I was just trying to be helpful.

I know that not all of my suggestions are going to be good ones. But I think it's important to speak up and share my ideas, even if they're not perfect. I'm always willing to learn and grow.

But it's really discouraging when my ideas are dismissed so quickly and without any real consideration. It makes me feel like my contributions aren't valued.

I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to stop making suggestions, but it's hard to do when I know I'm just going to be shot down.

I'm thinking about talking to my friend about it. Maybe they can give me some insight into why they behaved that way. Maybe there's something I'm not seeing.

In the meantime, I'm going to try to stay positive and focus on my strengths. I know that I have something to offer, even if not everyone appreciates it.

I'm not going to let this experience silence me. I'm going to keep speaking up and sharing my ideas, even if it means being undermined and mocked sometimes.

I also want to remind myself that my friend's behavior is a reflection of them, not me. They are the one with the problem, not me. I am worthy of respect, and I deserve to be treated well.
