MamaKat over at Mama's Losin' It is having her weekly workshop assignment. What she does is provide a few prompts to choose from for us who need a little blog idea 'help' occasionally.
I chose "A common misconception that people have about you."
This is confession time, I suppose. I am not what you all think I am. Or who you think I am, for that matter.
Honestly, I am not really as sweet and wonderful as my blog posts make me out to be. For real. I can and tend to be a real bitch. Sometimes. Not always, but still.
For the most part, I am a very nice person. Basically. I get along with and have lots of friends in my life. Growing up, I was more of the shy type. Now, not so much. After being in the work force for many years and interacting with many types of people, I have come to be more open and outgoing.
When certain topics that I tend to feel very strongly about (negatively or positively) are presented before me, I will stand my ground and fight to the death to prove my point and get my feelings across. Hence, the reason I put myself in the 'bitch' category. But that is the only reason why I put myself there. I think that hardcore, defiant, stubborn side of me somehow comes across as bitchy-ness to some. And that is quite alright with me. I can live with that.
The most important thing is, I can admit it!

I'm so the same way, that is why Rick refuses to be by me when I get on my soap box. He runs and hides like he doesn't know me. Too many times I sat back and let people roll over me, now you get what I'm thinking!
I'm that way too. I used to be shy and quiet. Then I had kids. If I don't stand up for them, who will. It has made me more stubborn and strong willed.
Me too, I was shy and not very outgoing when I was younger now I just speak my mind.
I think every woman needs to have the ability to pull out her inner bitch when needed. Sometimes you need to hold your ground in life.
Excellent prompt.
Amen sister! I feel the same way. I told this guy at work the other day to light a fire under someone's ass. Now I don't say that at work, but was feed up! Have a nice week!
I don't thinking speaking your mind ever makes you a b*tch, it's the attitude the qualifies a person. Kudos to you for standing your ground.
I'm getting better at that the older I get as well.
lol I don't believe it for a second! I don't think that makes you a bitch!
I think we all have a bit of that in us....huh? :) When all else fails...we call each other bitches. Hmm...maybe the problem lies with the listeners?
just stopping by from SITS :)
I don't think speaking your mind is in and of itself is a bad thing. It's the attitude you bring to it. I keep reminding myself to be open to what others think. But it's hard sometimes when I totally think they're wrong!
I think my bitchy-ness is assertiveness...at least that's what I tell myself:-)
Lol - there's nothing wrong with letting your inner bitch run free once in a while when it's for something you believe in! Props to your honesty!
i'll admit it as well. i certainly censor myself on my blog. i'm much more snarky and mean in real life. :)
Admitting it is the first step. ;) I think it's ok to stand your ground and debate your points...and I don't think that makes you a bitch. But then...I might change my tune if we were head to head in a debate. I think a little bitchiness spices things up...it's a good thing. :)
