Content descriptions
Formatted Contents Note: | 1. How to make big decisions in a way that matches your values -- 2. How to tell people things they very probably won't be happy to hear, at least at first -- 3. How to keep firmly and everlastingly in mind that doing nothing is neutral -- 4. How to give the kind of help that helping's all about (and not the kind we all can do without) -- 5. How to avoid getting your upset all over people when you feel out of control -- 6. How to love someone with your words, actions, and priorities (in addition to your feelings, which I'm sure are very nice) -- 7. How to apologize (properly, not like a Republican Congressman) -- 8. How to have a disagreement, or even an argument, without having a fight -- 9. How to be reasonably graceful when a relationship has ended, even if you feel wretched -- 10. How to take criticism (and how to tell what's criticism and what's just a pointless insult) -- 11. How to take a compliment sometimes (no one is reading your diary; we all struggle with this) -- 12. How to get someone's new name ad/or pronouns right, every times, sooner than you think -- 13. How to increase a sense of safety for women and other people with marginalized genders whom you encounter in daily life -- 14. How to be bad at things but do them anyway -- 15. How to be a useful ally or co-resister to actual people whom you support -- 16. How to keep going when you just want more than anything to stop, for G'd's sake -- 17. How to be yourself. |
