how do you balance not being a selfish butthead with no tact but still speaking your mind and not getting runover?
i can't seem to find the balance.
i keep letting them walk all over me, become bitter and angry inside, until i pop (untactfully).
since when did i forget how to say no? since when did i forget how to speak my mind?
i'm sure some of you, especially those who've known me before college (in high school), might be surprised i have a problem like this at all.
with age comes responsibility.
and with responsibility comes... fear.
i've let fear in too deep.
i don't even know what i'm afraid of.
is it fear that they won't approve of me or like me?
why does that matter? since when was that so important to me anyways?
since when did i start caring what other people say? was i like that in high school, too, and i just don't remember?
