Publisher's Synopsis
Let's be real for a second. You didn't pick up this book because your life is perfect and your self-esteem is so high you float through crowds like a goddamn confidence balloon. You picked it up because you're tired. Tired of being polite when you want to scream. Tired of putting other people's feelings ahead of your own sanity. Tired of caring what they think, what they'll say, what they'll whisper behind your back. Newsflash: they're whispering anyway.
So here's the good news-you're not crazy. You're not broken. You're just exhausted from giving too many fucks to people who don't deserve them.
And it's not your fault. You were trained to give a fuck. Trained to make sure you were likable, agreeable, "easy to work with," and "not too much." Society marinates us in approval addiction from birth. We're raised to believe we're only as worthy as the people around us decide we are. Like our value is a Yelp rating and we're just praying to get five stars from everyone we meet.
Fuck that.
