So going off the Aggression thread, are you too passive? Do you find you let people walk on you? Are you working on being more assertive?

Assertive? Who could possibly associate such an attribute with me? Preposterous!

I'm very assertive overall, although I know when to stop as well.

I feel I'm much more on the passive side than assertive. I think it's because I don't want to cause drama and just let the other side get away, so I should stand up for myself more yeah.

I tend to be very assertive to strangers IRL. But once someone becomes my friend, I become much more passive, and that ended up very badly for me in many occasion. I let my "friends" walk all over me and I'll still forgive them

Online I am far too polite and passive because drama starts easily and it stresses me out a lot :(
I don't let people step on me, but I give them an awful lot of leeway where I probably shouldn't. I'm extremely assertive when people try to walk over me, but it's actually very difficult to do. There are only a few things I feel the need to assert myself over, and those aren't things that really crop up in most social situations. Most people think I'm passive, but the truth is I just don't care enough. I'm not going to assert myself for the sake of asserting myself over things I don't give a muk about.
