Re: The gift of fear
(Anonymous) 2014-02-06 01:36 am (UTC)(link)Honestly? That kind of information was really useful to me.
Most of the men in my family - my uncles, my grandfathers, my great-grandfathers - were really shitty role models. Luckily my mum married my dad, who is amazing, given what a douchebag his own dad was.
As a woman, I was never ever taught the warning signs to look out for abusive people & potentially dangerous situations. It's not something they tell you in school, it's the kind of thing some people pick up through life experience.
As a woman, I was taught to be nice and polite and to always consider other people's feelings. This is further compounded by my personality - I'm very shy, and I don't want to hurt people.
But there are some situations that require assertiveness. So books like "The Gift of Fear" are incredibly beneficial to someone like me, who has often been taught to ignore my gut instincts.
