I've ceased trying to be congenial. I've decided it's not worth the effort, to agree with what I don't agree with, complaisant about things that don't make sense to me, obliging about doing things that don't add any value. I refuse to be Miss Congeniality for the sake of being popular and well-liked. Because it breeds a sense in people of they being able to get away with things they shouldn't be allowed to get away with, in my opinion, just because I am good-natured and easy-going.
So, no more going to places I don't want to go, doing things I don't want to do, saying "it's alright" when it's not alright. Just to be slightly more benevolent though, I'll give people three strikes before I threw them out.
