So pork, I assume? Is it spicy, garlicky, plain-tasting or something else? Do you eat it alone or in a particular way? TIA!

I’d add that most of this is true with being vocal and assertive about nice things that happen with other people in the moment too.

Not sure I agree that lash out OR be a people-pleasing wimp are the only options. Assertiveness includes other concepts like diplomacy, observation skills, empathy, and doing the work on yourself so that when you open your mouth, your actual truth comes out rather than just some words you let yourself be emotionally triggered to say.

Done it all my life, yes on mucous membranes, it’s absolutely fine. Start with a weak dilution, work up to what suits you.

Look forward, and make your moves to a better future.
