Are you still playing a role you learned in childhood to please others, such as the Good Girl/Boy, the Overachiever, or the Helper?

Saying yes when we should say no leaves us stuck in frustrating patterns. And when we don't say yes authentically, we say it resentfully, which leads to more problems than if we'd said no in the first place.The Joy of Saying No will help you identify your people-pleasing style and habits.

This is the dictionary definition of bitch: (1) Word used to describe the act of whining excessively. It's usually associated with women but there exists guys out there who are also bitchy. I mean, serious attitude-central, narcissistic dickheads. Some of these bitches work in Bay Area media. I know a few. Have worked for many. They're all over the place.
