stop being such a goddamn pushover

Joshmeister is helping me out a lot with this one. Basically by making me think about what I actually want, rather than just letting me say yes instinctively. To anyone. Including him.

It’s really making me think about how I feel rather than just letting certain things go, because even little things can build up. I’m still a pretty big pushover, but not QUITE as much, so that’s good.

I am having a teensy bit of difficulty identifying what is being a pushover and distinguishing it from what is just being easy going.

I guess it comes down to how it makes you feel. If it honestly doesn’t bother you, then you’re just being easy going, but if it bothers you and you don’t say anything, then you’re a pushover.

That’s right, isn’t it?

By that criteria I’ve been a lot less of a pushover lately. I’ve been more assertive, more confident in my own choices and more comfortable in expressing my opinion and doing what I want.

Pretty great, really. = )
