I need advice.
So for context, for as long as I can remember, I've always used self deprecating humor and always use very negative self talk because of where I grew up abused and bullied and just always talked down to by everyone and just got used to using it as a means of diffusing uncomfortable situations.
However, I'm tired of allowing people to disrespect me and talk down to me and then turning it against myself.
So my question is what advice would you give when it comes to setting boundaries and not allowing people to talk down to me and then turning it against myself?
Thank you in advance for any wisdom and advice!
