Okay, carry on.

If you see a therapist, they'll go over assertiveness with you ad nauseam. I know some timid people from group who really benefit from that. I can pick little fake fights with you, if that will help. Wink

LOL!! Hmmm...

I would say that I'm not timid, it's more from having to deal with so many arguments with my dad (we have mended fences now) in the past, and so I think when I see conflict...I shun it. I pretend it's not happening, especially if I'm not the cause of the conflict. Which I never ammmm!  Angel

My grandpa used to say in Portuguese, so I will rougly say it in English "The more you bow down to others aggressiveness, the more you expose your ass to more kicking."

Or sumething like that.

But, if you run away, you take your ass with you. There's my saying!  Rolleyes Big Grin

Being married now, I'm challenged with not being able to delete someone from my phone who pisses me off without warning, lol I have to actually deal with conflict, but you still don't have to say anything. My husband told me this week that my silence is sometimes worse than any mean words I could throw at him.

See? It works. Big Grin

I'm kidding, it's not a purposeful thing, it's more a conditioned response from my arguing days with my dad. :/
