[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 747616, member: 11235"] This is such wonderful progress. I have struggled with confrontation myself. It helped me a lot when I figured out the difference between aggressive and assertive. Aggressive is approaching an issue with anger and attacking the person you are dealing with. Assertive is stating your point in a calm, clear way. No anger, just this is what I think, or this is how I am doing things. I think a great example of this is when you call for an unscheduled doctor's appointment. if you are sick. I used to explain my situation and ask if they could see me. They would usually hem and haw around and try to push me back one or more days. Now I just call, state my problem and say, "What time can I come in today?" Weirdly, they just find a time. :laugh: I'm glad you are working on yourself. Sending peace to you. [/QUOTE]
