Do what we do

It's not easy to stop from coming across as a hardened, selfish bitch, but how do you do it without sounding insensitive and portraying another badly? I am cut as is; don't add insult to injury with probing questions about something I can only grow more sore about, or demand my cooperation when you don't even know what I put up with.

On the outside, I may seem demanding, but you don't see what I live with on the inside. Gratitude and respect does not equal bowing to someone else's demands, just as being understanding does not mean you are fulfilled.

You get away with so much; don't make me feel bad about having needs, too.

If I take it because I hate being a girl, does that mean I'm tough, or too kind?
