No jobs at CNWL

The softest parts of a woman only come out when it’s safe to.

So many men say they want a soft woman, a feminine woman, a gentle woman. But softness isn’t a trait, it’s a response. You don’t get it by demanding it. You get it by earning it. You create it when you give her a world she doesn’t have to harden herself against. When her nervous system can exhale. When she’s not on alert. When she doesn’t have to carry it all, watch her tone, justify her feelings, or walk on eggshells so she doesn’t set you off. Masculine presence, the kind that is steady, protective, and emotionally available, is what makes a woman unfold. Not control. Not punishment. Not withdrawal. She has to feel safe enough to be soft."

Full moon twitter teachings from the path of men.

 - Because being too nice is fake, you're avoiding conflict by not saying/expressing what you really think

- Yes. Be kind, but that also includes kindness to oneself. If you’re being disrespected, respect yourself and tell them to fuck off.

Being Mr. Nice Guy?

Congrats, you just unlocked “Doormat Mode.” Friendly equals forgettable. Too nice equals zero respect. Women walk all over soft dudes. Even men stop taking you seriously. Respect ain’t earned through kindness. It’s earned through boundaries.
- Kindness isn’t weakness but being too soft without boundaries invites disrespect so learn to protect your energy fiercely.
- When you’re overly nice, people mistake it for weakness.
They stop respecting your time, your words, your presence. Kindness without strength becomes a target.

- You’re not “too nice”—you’re unprotected. Respect isn’t lost by being friendly; it’s lost by being forgettable. So be kind—but unforgettable.
Be respectful, yes but let people know there’s a line.
- its because people think you're easy. They think "oh this person is so nice, so they won't mind if I'm an asshole, so now I will treat them like shit" It's why sometimes you gotta reserve your kindness for your close friends and family. Other people gotta earn it

- I’m nice-ish. It works

- Being always available has a similar effect. I'm only trying to be helpful by being flexible with my diary or replying fast. But hey

- Let’s cut through the illusion:
- Overly nice? They’ll mistake you for weak. - Always available? You become an option, not a priority. - Eager to please? You train people to take you for granted. The world doesn’t reward unconditional kindness—it tests it. Here’s the shift: 1. Stay kind – But pair it with unshakable boundaries. 2. Be friendly – But never at the cost of your self-respect. 3. Give freely – But only to those who value it. A lion doesn’t apologize for its strength. Neither should you.

- Sadly, when you're always accommodating, people start expecting it. They stop appreciating you. They test how far they can go. And unless you check it early, disrespect becomes the norm. That’s why kindness needs boundaries......it deserves protection.

- That's why, every once in a while, ya gotta do a little violence. Not a lot, just a little

- Nice ≠ Respected: Respect often comes from firmness, clarity, and self-respect—not just being kind.

-  "You hurt yourself only when you give away what is your own" is a quote from Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince. It emphasizes that one should be cautious about parting with possessions or power, as doing so can weaken their position and potentially lead to harm. 
- " There s nothing more self defeating than generosity, in the act of practicing it, you lose the ability to do so, and you become either 
poor or despised, or seek to escape rapacious poverty, hated and despised.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Loss of Power and Influence:
    Giving away what is rightfully yours, whether it be material possessions, authority, or even influence, can diminish your standing and make you more vulnerable to others. 
  • Impact on Reputation:
    Machiavelli highlights the importance of maintaining a strong reputation. Giving away what is yours can be perceived as weakness, potentially damaging your image and leading others to underestimate you. 
  • Practical Application:
    The quote suggests that a leader should be strategic in their actions and avoid unnecessary generosity or concessions that could be detrimental to their position. 
  • Focus on Self-Preservation:
    The core message is about self-preservation and the need to protect one's own interests. Machiavelli believed that a leader's primary responsibility is to maintain power and stability, even if it means making difficult or seemingly harsh decisions.

Maybe it's the house.. but I never used to be like this

 I Wasn’t Loved—I Was Useful

They liked me because I was easy.
Easy to talk to.
Easy to lean on.
Easy to forget.
I said yes when I wanted to say no.
Laughed when things weren’t funny.
Held space for people
who never once asked if I needed holding, too.
And now I’m angry.
Not just at them—
but at myself
for thinking that kindness would keep me safe.
1. I Became Who They Needed—Not Who I Was
In every room,
I scanned for cues.
What do they want?
Who do I need to be to stay loved?
I shape-shifted so well,
I forgot what my actual voice sounded like.
Because being authentic
felt like a risk I couldn’t afford.
2. I Confused Being Liked With Being Safe
If they like me, they won’t leave.
If I’m useful, I’ll matter.
If I’m low-maintenance, they’ll stay.
So I made myself easy to digest.
Softened every edge.
Apologized for my needs
before anyone had a chance to reject them.
But approval is a fragile currency.
And one day, I woke up bankrupt.
3. I Didn’t Burn Out—I Was Used Up
I wasn’t overreacting.
I was overextending.
And the weight of being “the good one”
crushed the parts of me
that longed to scream, cry, rage, and say NO.
I thought being nice would make people love me.
Instead, it made them forget I was human.
4. I’m Not Bitter—Just Finally Honest
I don’t want to be the safe choice anymore.
The reliable one.
The emotional sponge.
I want to be loved for my soul,
not my silence.
And if setting boundaries makes me hard to love—
then maybe they never loved me at all.
5. Final Word: I’m Done Performing
I’m not your emotional support human.
I’m not here to stay small so you feel big.
I’m not shrinking anymore
just to stay included.
If love requires disappearing,
I’d rather be alone.
Because I deserve to exist fully.
Loudly.
And unapologetically.
