I got sober 7 years ago and from that very first day I adopted the "f**k offs" I say that sarcastically not literally although I literally say that sometimes too. If someone does not like me they can go F themselves. Or they can F off. I know I am a good person. Not perfect for sure but kind, compassionate, empathetic. I do tend to be a bit direct and in the past I know it came off as aggressive or maybe blunt but I believe in honesty and appreciate that in, and from someone else. But I no longer care if people like me. Sure it'd be nice if everyone did. And I'd be lying if I said someone being mean to me wouldn't hurt my feelings but I generally do not care or need validation anymore. I have been through so much and survived so I know what's important in my life and it doesnt include negative people with bad attitudes and sucky opinions of me.
