One Step Up From Wimpyness!

I don't like conflict and there a lot of things that some people don't even see as issues that would worry me in my la la head - I don't think it makes me a door mat I just think it makes me well.... me!

Today I stuck up for myself in the most unexpected way, it felt a little awkward but I am glad that I did it.

Sometimes with family and friends it can be hard to say what you really feel, when people are set in their ways and used to acting in a certain way it's hard to rock the boat but today I had had enough. I tried not to use too much jest as that can sometimes mask the message and I let them know how i felt in a fair and honest way. I know they didn't take it as a personal attack but I hope it stays with them and they actually think about what they do next time... because if I see it happening again I will pull them up again and with more conviction!

This is something I plan to do more in the future... sometimes (often because my head is not in sync with my mouth)I don't say what I really think and feel to avoid awkward moments but some conflicts are bigger in you're own head.
