My boss told me today that I need to be assertive and speak up in meetings. He thinks that I am smart, but afraid to make suggestions.

I guess I am mostly afraid of being wrong, or that it is not my place to say anything since I have not been working there very long (about 4 months). Still, I want to show that I am a good employee and I know that this is done by offering new ideas and showing interest by asking questions.

But more than just speaking more, I am going to work on my behavior at work. I am going to try to look more people in the eye, walk with more confidence, and speak louder. I will try to update this blog for support!

I don’t think this is an unreasonable goal to have, and yet I recently found myself in another unhealthy relationship.

Thankfully, it was brief this time. But wouldn’t it be great if I just learned to respect myself and demanded someone who respected me?
