They call it being assertive but when I asserted myself it was taken as me being aggressive which I wasn't. It wasn't what they expected of me after years of just knuckling down. <br /><br />People are strange! You have to do what you feel is right for you otherwise you feel like a doormat & build up resentment.<br /><br />Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-48191906200846675362017-11-18T16:28:17.574-05:002017-11-18T16:28:17.574-05:00Saying NO to someone who always expects you to say...Saying NO to someone who always expects you to say YES, is very empowering. I learned that a few years ago. <br />Now, if I don’t want to do something, I say no, rather that loathingly going along with it. I’m much happier for it.

Also as I've aged I have made a conscious decision that if I live my genuine life I'm someone who will put myself "out there" , and I accept the consequences. I don't want the alternative. My favourite phrase "it is what it is".JoAnnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-10789069114293176032017-11-18T05:18:41.915-05:002017-11-18T05:18:41.915-05:00Hardest thing to learn for most women
