Femme Fatale Guide: How To Gain & Maintain Respect
In your professional and academic life, romantic or sexual enthrallments, social life, or any relationship – most importantly, the one with yourself.
Decide your needs are valid and feel worthy of having these needs met.
Reflect and refine your most authentic core values in every area of your life and then be deliberate in aligning your actions with these values as much as possible.
Be honest about your non-negotiables in every aspect of your life. Establish boundaries with these needs in mind. Then learn to communicate them calmly and assertively to others. Uphold your boundaries when they're tested or challenged.
Approach any conflict, negotiation, or difficult conversation as an opportunity to help both parties understand each other and come away from the interaction with a mutually desirable outcome. Operate out from a place of seeking mutual benefit, not a win-lose mindset.
Depersonalize other people's actions and attitudes. Communicate from a place of empathy and your personal value-add rather than responding to protect your ego.
Be discerning with who and what you let into your life (friends, romantic relationships, professional opportunities, social ties, family members, etc.). See how your value system and ways of communicating/interacting align before diving head-first into an interpersonal commitment. Vet individuals carefully to confirm they'll enrich – not deplete – your overall quality of life.
Take accountability when warranted but don't overapologize. Focus on being solution-oriented, not problem-centric, when dealing with a negative outcome, consequence, or conflict.
When in a disagreement with a healthy-minded individual, encourage an open dialogue and hear their side without judgment before making any type of accusations. With that said, always prepare and know when to walk away from a person, relationship, opportunity, event, etc.
Maintain your health, well-being, and appearance. Prioritize a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, daily movement/exercise, a full night's rest, mindfulness practices/therapy, a solid skincare routine, hair/beauty maintenance, clean and neat clothes that suit your personal style, etc.
Make time for activities and people you love. Schedule times for hobbies, indulgent rituals, social plans, etc. into your weekly calendar to ensure you're enjoying life as much as you realistically can. Owning your right to enjoy life is the ultimate sign of self-respect.

"Because without someone dying for your sins you might have to take personal responsibility for your own actions. God is not great. Religion poisons everything."
Believing that a magic man washes away your responsibility on behalf of the people you wronged is immoral.

Okay loves, I know I’m not fandom mom or anything, BUT:
Just because some fandom folks cannot look past the bad storytelling and the bad writing and the unbalanced storylines that have kicked off season four of 911 Lone Star and are actively criticizing these valid facts, does not mean you should be wandering into their inbox and yelling at them.
Some of us are choosing to roll with it through yet another Tim Minear personal headcanon storyline and some people are actively calling it bullshit. If you don’t like either take (the silly plowing through or the valid arguments) mute/block/unfollow whatever. But don’t go into people’s inboxes telling them to get out of the fandom. Criticism and critical consumption of content is necessary in all fandoms.

“No matter how much parents and grandparents may have sinned against the child, the one who is really adult will accept these sins as his own condition which has to be reckoned with. Only a fool is interested in other people’s guilt, since he cannot alter it. The one who is wise learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart.”
— C.G. Jung, Volume 12: Psychology and Alchemy

When it comes to sustainability, it's easy to place the blame on unethical brands and polluting factories in faraway lands. But to make the clothing industry anywhere near sustainable, the responsibility is not with manufacturers, retailers, and brands. The responsibility is also with us, the consumers, because, as Rick pointed out earlier, while we need to buy less, we also need to care more for the clothing we already own.
- Rick Ridgeway in The Next Black

any tips on how to truly love yourself?
Realize you're the only person you'll have a relationship with for your ENTIRE life. So, won't life be considerably more enjoyable if you're in a loving relationship with this person?
Understand no one will have your best interest more than you will for yourself. Start acting with this truth in mind.
Be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself. Ensure you're eating well, taking necessary vitamins, drinking plenty of water, getting enough sleep every night, moving your body daily, religiously maintaining your skincare /hygiene routines, etc.
Before answering someone's request, learn to ask yourself: How do I genuinely feel about this request? Is it helpful or harmful to me to be agreeable in this situation? How would my saying "yes" or "no affect my personal goals and well-being in the short/long term? Check-in with yourself before you answer or react to situations.
Define your personal aspirations, goals, life values, boundaries, and non-negotiable for yourself. Don't allow a desire for external approval to cause you to waiver from these pillars of your selfhood.
Be upfront about your needs, advocate for yourself, and when you need to say "no" or walk away from a person or a situation.
Dress for the life and job you want (almost) every day.
Invest in your personal development: Read books, take courses, visit museums, connect with people you admire, etc.
Find time to do something that brings you some joy every day. It can be as small as a beloved beverage or a 30-minute show you enjoy.

As human beings living in this monstrously ugly world, let us ask ourselves, can this society, based on competition, brutality and fear, come to an end? Not as an intellectual conception, not as a hope, but as an actual fact, so that the mind is made fresh, new and innocent and can bring about a different world altogether? It can only happen, I think, if each one of us recognises the central fact that we, as individuals, as human beings, in whatever part of the world we happen to live or whatever culture we happen to belong to, are totally responsible for the whole state of the world.
— Jiddu Krishnamurti

Nobody owes you “validation” for your identity. Nobody is obliged to “respect” your beliefs, religion or ideology.
And if you need it, then you’ve made your life and your happiness dependent on the approval of other people.
