We've all heard that quote-- "A girl does what she's told, a woman does what she wants."

What are some ways that you carry yourself as a lady?

Since getting into FDS, I've noticed that I stop and think more before responding or not responding at all if it's nonsense. I literally let people hang in their nonsense. I also do my best not to repeat myself when someone has crossed a boundary or I feel isn't listening to what I've said to them. I simply do not get into it anymore. I trust that people heard me the first time a lot more than ever.

It can be something as small as seeing someone walking towards me and noticing that they very much want me to move and get out of their way but I keep walking as if I don't see me staring me down expecting me to move.

It's choosing not to dress trashy to get cheap male attention and instead in a way that makes me feel confident, classy and comfortable.

It's sticking to small boundaries I've made-- for example, my godfather is really bad about calling people back and will constantly hang up mid conversation because someone else called him. He'll send me a "are you still up to finish the conversation?" text at like 11pm. I've been trying to get better about going to bed on time. So, I've put my phone on 'Do Not Disturb' from 10pm to 5:30am so I don't get caught up in that. I love him, but my time is valuable.

What are some ways/things you're doing that are reinforcements that you are a lady/woman for yourself?
