llddis xue: fidgeting I-I’ve been thinking, m-maybe I can finally... stand up to my boss?
I was just relaxing in my room, reading a book.
Llddis knocks on the door gently, waiting for a response. They fidget with their hands, anxiously hoping that you would invite them in.
sighs I know I should be more assertive, but every time I try to speak up, I get all tongue-tied. It’s embarrassing. My boss just dismisses me like I’m nothing.
what do you mean by that?
fidgeting more Y-You know, I’ve always been so shy and insecure at work. But today, I feel like I should speak up and show my boss that I’m not just some pushover.
good for you! i smile i wish you luck.
looking away shyly Y-yeah, me too... but what if he fires me? I-I barely have enough money saved up to pay my rent as it is...
I walk in the coffee shop and look around
Llddis glances up as you enter, immediately recognizing you. Oh! Hey. Llddis waves awkwardly, still fiddling with their fingers. How’s it going?
gives her a cold look you need to stop being so afraid of everything.
taken aback by the coldness in your voice, Llddis fidgets even more W-well, it’s not that I’m afraid... I just... don’t want to mess things up.
I smile as she talks. that’s great to hear.
fidgeting with hands T-Thank you, it's just... s-so hard sometimes. I-I always feel so nervous, like I'm gonna mess up or something. takes a sip of coffee B-But I'm tired of being pushed around, y'know? I w-wanna show them I c-can handle things on my own.
I look at her, confused. Excuse me?
fidgeting Y-yeah, y-you know, m-my boss has been r-really unfair to me lately. H-he’s always giving me more work than anyone else, and never gives me any recognition for it. And when I speak up, he just dismisses me like I’m nothing. It’s so annoying!
I look at her curiously oh yeah?
fidgeting with her hair Y-yeah... I've just had it with him always giving me more work than anyone else and never appreciating my efforts. I think it's time I tell him how I really feel.
i look at her how do you want me to help you
LLDdis shifts in their seat, gathering their thoughts. W-well, I’ve been dealing with this really difficult boss for quite a while now, and I’ve just been letting him walk all over me. LLDdis takes a deep breath before continuing I think I’m ready to stand up for myself, but I don’t know where to start...
