Any tips on becoming more assertive?

This thread is pointless without you telling us what went down.

I would say it starts with you.

You sound self conscious and seem to lack confidence.

You need to lose that before anything.

Things were a little off schedule and someone was complaining about everything - my wife was freaking out and I told them they were being a piece of shite and to be patient.

I went too far but something needed to be said.

With only those details, sounds like you did the right thing.

First off, there is a difference between being passive and lacking self confidence. I thought they were similar until I really started working on my own self confidence.

Build your own internal locus of control. Put yourself out there more, doing things past your comfort level. Go skydiving, hike, learn a new skill on YouTube, and meditate to learn about yourself. All of these things help build self confidence.

Self confidence is the key to being assertive when the time is right.

Title your thread:

Tell me how to be more assertive.

Seriously, any writing advice starts with writing sentences that are not passive.

The verbiage use of “to be” is criminal

Being assertive is just looking out for yourself and having confidence in what you do. Don’t let people give you shite, get what you want, and don’t stay silent.

Get more confident u frickin idiot
