Happy monday lovely ladies and gents!
Wanna know why being a bitch is great sometimes…….
You’ve clicked on the title, so you want to know why being a bitch is great sometimes.
I’m not talking about being a total ass or like a real… bitch bitch. We have enough of those people already.
Think about the term bitch as a powerful somebody.
…But it isn’t really being a bitch then, is it?
It is!
I hear it so many times: people say they like me for who I am, they think I’m kind, open, myself. And that’s true, I’ll always be like that because that’s just who I am. Sometimes I am way too sensitive and way too smiley. I try to smile at everyone who crosses my path, not even always aware of it. I just do it.
People can also think of that as weak. Let me tell you: it isn’t. But that’s why being a bitch is great sometimes.
Can she be a bitch sometimes? Yes, I can. When I must, oh believe me, I can.
Don’t confuse kindness with weakness
It’s the unkind people who are weak
I don’t like people who disrespect me, mistreat me, deny my worth. And when that happens, I’m not the sweet smiley girl any more. But people respect you for that. Because it shows them that you’re powerful, that you stand for your own rights and that you say what you should say.
♥ For example: when a company uses my pictures, without me knowing and without tagging me, it’s basically just stealing my photo and pretending like they made it. This happened a little while ago and I mailed them, asking to either tag me or delete it.
Or what about a company who wants 3 links, 2 Instagram photo’s, 2 shares on Facebook and “maybe” a Youtube video “if you like”. All of that for a t-shirt of 20 euros, or a lipstick. Don’t get me wrong, you should start somewhere. But know your worth and let others know too.
Last example: guys who don’t (want to) spend time at you. When somebody doesn’t answer your messages, texts you or asks you to go and do something together: he’s not into you. You can think he will change, hope you can be that change, but he will not change.
Why being a bitch is great sometimes? Because it shows you’re powerful, confident and know your own worth.

I somewhat don’t agree with previous comments regarding different connotations to the word ‘bitch’ as they only come with negative ones, if you’re not referring to a female dog that is. What you’re describing here however is something we all should be. Independent, strong and not taking crap from anyone, so I’d just rephrase that and say “why you need to stay true to yourself and strong at all times” 🙂

Entirely love this method!
Such a completely fabulous post ! So true about knowing your worth and demanding to be treated professional and respectfully! Thank you so much!
Knowing your own value and worth is of course fundamental. Time is money a lot of the time, even if we wish it were not the case. You have to know what you stand for, that is key.

I hate when brands do that… it rarely happens but when it does it sucks. I am definitely not afraid to say what I need to say sometimes even if I come across as a bitch haha 🙂

Thanks for reading my blog Jake. This one isn’t about being a hateful bitch.If you read my article the way it’s meant you’ll understand that it’s about being a powerful woman and staying true to yourself.
Totally love this! It’s so true. You have to be able to stand up for yourself but still be a nice person when people are nice to you!

Totally agree! Standing up for yourself does NOT make you a bitch, it makes you know your worth and telling others you won’t put up with anything less! Thanks for a great read. xoxo

This post is so on point!! If we don’t know our worth..who else will?! I needed this post!
You pretty much hit all the pointers I would have thought of! My biggest issue that used to be was not knowing my worth on social media. I used to accept $20 for a blog post without knowing better because of hearing “I have to start somewhere.” Well let me tell you, complete BS. Now that I no longer accept less, brands respect me more. The way to respect is definitely being stern and confident in who you are!

Hey Darling
Hows you?
Totally agree with you, Especially with Brands who wants Everything For Free and Ok, they Give you some Free Products or my Favorite: We Give you 20% and you can shop the Products and Promote?!
What?! Ahhha, so Many Brands Are super Rude:)
Loved this post, Agree with Everything and Actually I am very similar to you:)
Happy Monday

I can totally relate with you. Just because you speak your mind, doesn’t mean you’re being a B. I’m super outspoken too and people often think I’m rude or what not, but I think it’s better to stand up for yourself and tell it like it is!
Bitches I know will be sitting at home because this guy ain’t dealing with any sorry hateful bitches.
Exactly! I couldn’t agree more! Rock on bitches! 🙂
xoxo
Thanks hon!! X
Exactly babe! Totally agree XO
Oh I can so relate to some of the examples you mentioned here!! I think the word “bitch” has been labeled with so many negative connotation, it is time to reinvent it. I prefer calling it bossy and take charge and be a strong woman. 🙂
