Confidence is certainly attractive and being direct and self-aware are often rare. It takes effort to learn about one’s self, and it takes courage to be honest with yourself. Unfortunately, in a male dominant society women who are direct are often seen as difficult; however, women who stand up for themselves and say how they feel are respectable.
Establishing boundaries is not easy. Especially when asserting yourself in an old familiar relationship or with people in a position of authority. No matter what you must defend your rights and not let others walk over you. Sometimes, it is best to walk away from certain scenarios. And other times, you will be able to communicate how you’re feeling and work things out with the people you are asserting yourself with. It’s okay to make a decision to respect your boundaries and demonstrate that you will not be disrespected or dishonored. In my life, trust is most important. If I do not trust someone; I do not respect them. It’s all about being honest with yourself. Assert your boundaries and feel confident in the decisions you make.
