do you consider yourself... (1 Viewer)

[kodoku]

.. someone who is able to speak their mind and stand up for themselves? are you a person who can fend for themselves in front of someone who is trying to shake you up?

Spoiler: me

no and this is one of the things I hate the most and one of my biggest problems :l

It really depends on the situation. Most of the time, definitely not. But if that person is doing or saying something that goes against my values, like being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc, I will stand up for myself because it's not just a problem that affects me, it affects other people too so it would be selfish of me to just cower.

 

[Skinnny]

Yes I can.

 

[TaeKpop]

no i'm bad i get shy even when i just try to ask for things

 

[igloo]

yes
i've been known to be so much so that i've been called a know it all
contrarian
etc.
i'm pretty quiet but when i believe it's best for me to speak up i tend to be very passionate

 

[honeyfornomoney]

Maybe one day XD

 

[Mew]

Well yes. I have no problem doing so, but the art of picking your battles carefully is very important.

 

[yeji]

oh no. I am like a doormat. I let people do whatever they want with me. Even if I speak up, I turn out to be the one feeling awful and like I did something messed up

 

[kuro]

yes! I'm the loudest and boldest person in my friend group, so often I break up with people for my friends because they can't do it themselves. I stand up for myself no problem when nobody's watching. but when people are watching I get more shy, especially if I'm standing up to a person of authority, like a teacher

 

[Michael]

I'm not good on that; no.

It depends on the person and situation, if it’s a situation where the person seems like they might be really in my face, yelling and whatnot I wouldn’t be able to stick up for myself because those situations terrify me. However if the person is just annoyed and doesn’t seem to be any danger to me then I will.

[Soogi]

im not afraid to speak up for myself, and ig people are often taken aback by that because im usually pretty quiet and laid-back hh;;

 

[jasque]

Lol if i were like that, people would think im crazy

I'd interrupt them all the time

I absolutely can stand up for myself and I often do, sometimes the person i've been up against has been so chaotic that I couldn't do it alone, i've been literally sobbing while still facing something head on even if it made me cry even harder out of fear of it getting worse, but I really can't stand letting people get away with thinking a certain thing of me or accusing me of anything, or even just going after me for no reason. If I feel like I need to confront someone about something, I absolutely will. It isn't that im confrontational, I mostly still ignore things cuz they genuinely don't bother me, but when there is something that's bothering me I won't just brush it off and ignore it, I will ask u what is up.
