For me, it seems to be too fine a balance. When am I being a doormat, and when is it humility. When is it arrogance/selfishness, and when is it selfrespect.
It has happened before that I see these dichotomies where they don’t exist. Let’s see if something or someone can get me cleared up on this.

“not feel guilty” is part of it. My best friend tried to get me to do something I didn’t want to (nothing like that! don’t be sick!)
...anyway, I normally agree with my friends and do things against my instincts. This time I said no. It was tough, but I did it. But I was HUMBLE about it, too! He wasn’t happy, but no catastrophe happenned. I don’t HAVE to do everything people want me to do.
Sometimes a good day can feel kind of ‘mixed’. Going against my grain (weakness) was hard for me. I still feel strange. But I also feel RIGHT.
