easier when it involves stuff I DON'T want - if that makes sense??
That makes total sense and that is usually when I become assertive, too. Also when the very basics of life are threatened. So why the guilt??
At this point I suppose the guilt becomes irrelevent if I have thought through my actions. That is just a knee-jerk reaction to putting another person on the spot. I have to remember that the other person's reactions are not within my power. Just because I stand up and say what I mean doesn't guarantee the other person is going to agree. Quite on the contrary.... history shows me they won't.
Thanks...
