THE SUPPRESSOR

The “It’s fine!” friend. The peacekeeper.
The one who smiles, nods, and says yes…even when every part of you is screaming “NOPE.”

Here’s what’s really going on:

You downplay how you feel.
You bottle things up.
You pretend you don’t have needs, opinions, or limits - just to keep the peace.

But peace without honesty? Sucks.

Resentment starts small.
But over time, it shows up in passive-aggressive sighs,
stone-cold “I’m fine” energy, or that heavy sense that no one really sees you.

And you feel fake.
Because you’re afraid that speaking up will make everything worse.

What you actually need:

✔️ Safety to say how you really feel
✔️ Practice using your voice (before you explode)
✔️ Reminders that honesty doesn’t make you difficult. It makes you free

You’re allowed to have preferences.
You’re allowed to disappoint people.
You’re allowed to stop swallowing your frustration just to keep the peace.

When you shift this pattern:

• You stop second-guessing yourself in every conversation

• You start setting boundaries before you hit your breaking point

• You feel less like a walking “whatever you want” and more like… you

Is it you? Or is it them?

You've seen how your resentment shows up (the feeling like a horrible not-nice person because you hate every second of doing “nice” things for other people).

Now, let’s figure out if it's justified.

I created The Sanity Check to be the tool I wish I’d when I was spiraling. It’s a $27 diagnostic toolkit designed to help you:

• Identify the root cause of the resentment (it’s rarely what you think it is).

• Diagnose if you’re actually overreacting or if the situation is messed up.

• Know where you stand so you can make a smart decision about what happens next
