I definitely don't tolerate certain behaviors from anyone anymore either. In the past, I would politely tolerate being interrupted. Now, if I am interrupted I call people out and ask if they interrupted because what I'm saying is unimportant to them. If people keep talking after I say that, I walk away. Confidence and self esteem are also fairly new to me, so that could be a factor too..
Once I get used to this stronger, healthier, happier version of me, I think opening up may be less weird.
Yeah makes sense, we may not feel as much of a need to vent when we become better at handling our own problems.
