Being a b*tch is a powerful thing and you should be proud of it. You don’t let boys be mean to you, you can do what you want, and you don’t allow for people to tear you down. Having this personality trait shows other people that you aren’t afraid to be who you are and that you are a strong individual. No one wants to mess with a b*tch because if they do, they’ll regret it.

A b*tch is a boss – a strong and confident woman who will never take “no” for an answer. Take that label as a compliment because you are Queen.

You are sassy, classy and a little bit smart-a**y. Embrace it.

You never settle for less. “Settling” isn’t a word in your dictionary. You’re the type of person who has standards and when they aren’t met, you do everything in your power to get what you want. You deserve the world and you’ll make damn sure that you’ll get it.

You don’t let boys be mean to you. Did you get stood up Saturday night? He shouldn’t even bother calling to apologize because you’ve already moved on with your life. You don’t have time to play silly games and you sure as hell don’t have time to have indecisive men in your life. You have your s*it together and if he doesn’t respect that then he can just take a hike.

You tell it like it is. Whether it’s advice about boys or an OOTD opinion, you’re the one in the friend group who will always be honest about anything. You have lady balls and aren’t afraid to show it. You aren’t being rude; you’re just being truthful. Roomie will thank you later.

Your RBF is always on point. Some people may think you’re in a bad mood but it’s actually just your Resting B*tch Face (RBF) doing the talking. People know not to mess with you if the RBF makes an appearance for the day. On the bright side, you’ll age gracefully because your face won’t be moving anytime soon.

You don’t allow people to walk all over you. You’re too busy focusing on yourself and don’t have time to deal with other people’s sh*t. You’ve built a wall around yourself and you don’t allow that wall to be broken. If that wall gets broken, you don’t show it because you’re a strong individual who has been through enough in life.

Your confidence is through the roof. You walk with an invisible crown on and your head held high because you know for a fact that you’re an awesome human being. You are fully satisfied and proud of yourself and you want to make the world know that too.

You stand up for what you believe in. You believe that #girlpower is the strongest movement and when you empower other women, you empower yourself. When you stand up for yourself, you’re also standing up for other women. You believe that lady bosses are the best and you believe that working hard for your goals is something that people are attracted to.
