(Mostly I'm quiet and scared of making a fool of myself or pissing someone off. Sigh.)

This is me, too. I'm very much all about keeping the peace and not making people upset. And I usually stay quiet until I feel truly comfortable around them.

There's nothing wrong with being a peacekeeper sort in stressful situations, of course. Just...sometimes circumstances do call for someone calling a jerk out on their crap, and some people are way better at doing that than me. They always know the right thing to come back with, and I might think of a clever, snarky remark...days after the event :p.

And then I'm not a very physically strong person, either. So I definitely identify with the OP, too.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Both those descriptions fit me pretty well too.

To make matters even more awkward, my desire not to rock the boat once caused me to rock the boat. A teacher of mine in college called me out on being too...I guess the word would be "haughty" in class discussions. But what she saw as me making a statement and then leaning back in my seat as if the matter was closed was actually me tentatively offering an opinion and then physically moving away from the discussion to open the floor up to other people. That critique surprised me greatly, I can tell you.

Exactly! Once I'm comfortable with someone I can speak my mind more easily, but I struggle with people I barely know or don't like.

Just...sometimes circumstances do call for someone calling a jerk out on their crap, and some people are way better at doing that than me.

Same. I'll do it when I feel it's necessary, but I feel like other people are probably more...efficient about it.

And then I'm not a very physically strong person, either.

I have trouble opening jars so I feel you on that one.
