I have a problem with being too nice. It makes it difficult for me to assert myself with people, and when I do, I come across as abrasive and bitchy. I can't seem to find middle ground when it comes with dealing with people.
I've always had problems sticking up for myself or telling people off. Lately, I've been getting better at it, but I still have issues. I seem to think if I assert myself with someone and that person gets pissed off, I'm responsible for it. Sounds lame, I know, but its true.
And then, when I realize that I am just too nice with people and I should speak my mind more, I get too aggressive and people think I am attacking them.
Sometimes I can find middle ground with people and defend myself well without any problems. But usually, I cannot. I wish I could go around telling people to go to hell, but that would make me feel too guilty.
Am I just pathetic?
