May 21, 2021

Assertion, or being assertive, has, in my opinion, a rather negative connotation attached to it. And, really, I’ve never understood why this is, considering assertion does not typically coincide with aggression in any manner.

Self-pity, while a rather unattractive practice, is a bit of an inevitable one in this thing we call life.
