Re: How to be more firm

[(Anonymous)]

You're not responsible for managing other people's feelings.

You're not responsible for other people's reactions.

Asserting yourself is just making your stance known. It doesn't mean arguing or getting nasty with folks who don't agree with what you say.

I don't know if you can talk 'more firmly.' I think you just need to say what you're going to do, and ignore what people think or what you think they are thinking. If they're yelling, tell them you won't stand for being yelled at. If they're objecting strongly, say it's your decision and/or that the topic is closed. If they're shocked you went through with your decision, just remind them that you said you were going to do it.

I understand wanting to back down in the presence of resistance and/or the absence of support. If you go through with something, it's always possible someone won't like you for it. But if you back down, then you get screwed. Whichever way you choose, you're the one who has to live with the decision. But I know from experience that a life of least resistance isn't much of a life at all.
