Some People Never Hesitate to Stand Up for ThemSelves

Anger is a valuable weapon. Using it often will undermine its value.

I get over my anger quick too.

If you are going to be mad then I would step out of the situation until you cool down. Without doing that you could say or do something you may be sorry for.

I'm still learning too. Are we ever done? I guess the thing to do is to say, this is where I live and I have the right to privacy. I want some privacy please. Is better than. You are one nosy parker.

You should always stick up for yourself.

Just have a glass of water when you start getting hyper that's what we do as are requested in our Islamic society

Point one...I consciously avoid thinking bad words and bad language. I know them, but I avoid letting them in. That way whatever I might end up saying can only be treated as innocuous. Second thing is..I try to rationalize. I tell me I am most logical person. So when I assert that fact to me several times, I cannot but help control my anger here to sound as logical as I can be. I not only fight for me, but also dare to enter others targeting another person.

I am not the one to give you advice on this one, I'm sorry. I stick up for other people but for the life of me I cannot stick up for myself. It is one thing that my husband can't stand about me.

Be straight up. If you feel that you've been disrespected then let them know. Standing up takes courage but if you don't take a stand then you will stay behind instead of moving forward. Speak up and speak out.

I think we all have to have our own backs because no one else is walking in our shoes. So we all have to be able to stand up for ourselves.

I bet your temper is justified. Provoked on purpose. assertive many times means pressing buttons that are below the belt.

I just firmly state my case, then move on. If they get angry I just ignore them.

if it isnt easy for you then...then it takes practice, being polite and firm. over and over until it's at least comfortable to do, even if you don't like doing it. It also helps to practice on things that dont matter tons, like juice at breakfast, no creamer, etc

I will give you the answer after one month. Then I will control my temper. LOL

I don't really know what advise to give you. All i know is that i do stand up for myself when i know i'm right and I just try to be confident when doing it. Was never afraid to. I think it was because I always did that when i was young even with my parents and my siblings. So they told me if i could do that to them then i shouldn't be afraid of doing it to others who aren't even my family.

When I try to convince the class pupils to do their tasks and they get up from the chairs, run around, and play games, I tell them they won't get the computer to their house. I tell them they need to do some tasks and send me them in email, I have to give it to the education coordinator so he can see they learn something. I basically explain them the rational of why they need to do the tasks and cooperate in class. If it doesn't work, I tell them they will need to com with an older brother next time or even a parent. I sometimes call their parents mobile and talk with them. But, I don't get nervous, I don't take things to my heart. If someone wants to learn, I help him, if they don't want, I talk to them, tell them why they should, they will get the computer for free.

I now stand up for myself and have been for a few years now and some people hate it. But its me!

I try to be polite but make my point clear and leave it at that and move on - siva
