I'm really passive. I find it really hard to hold an argument, although sometimes I'll get passionate about something and be able to be more assertive. But sometimes I'll lose steam halfway through When I say something and people talk over me or something, it kills me. I beat myself up over it (I literally imagine beating myself up ). Lately though, I've been taking more of a 'if they don't want to listen, then fuck 'em' approach... still not quite the same as assertiveness, but still.

Assertiveness is something I am beginning to get back into now, I have gathered info and tip sheets from the net and I am slowly beggining to put things into practice, I think it will take a while though. I have very pleasant thoughts about being able to go through life assertivly, it would be wonderful

I am sometimes assertive, but not always. It feels good to be able to stand up for yourself, but I sometimes overdue the assertiveness and make a fool of myself. Stupid SP messes me up. I need to learn when to be assertive and how.

I am passive, and often pick on in school when it comes to people needing lunch money Usuall if i'm assertive, i'm usually comfortable and not caring too much about how i say things. Unfortunately if i feel uncomfortable and i try be assertive, i can come out somewhat agressive, but in a more weak, bitter way.
