Let me rephrase your question. Yes, crying to a poem or movie makes you soft. I'm calling a spade, a spade, little man. A soft hearted person/ pushover lacks assertiveness which we need in this country.

I think there’s a grain of truth in this, but it’s probably more about confidence than aggression. A lot of neurotypical environments seem to reward assertiveness and strong boundaries, while many neurodivergent people are taught to prioritize accommodation and empathy. The result can be that kindness gets mistaken for weakness when it really isn’t.

traits associated with adulthood in women: body hair, visible aging, physical size, strength, assertiveness are treated as masculine and less desirable. additionally, artists going to school are literally taught to sexualize and infantilize women.

Quite a different stance with an unaccompanied vessel. It seems assertiveness is a subjective policy.

Victor Wembanyama in his 1st finals appearance; 26 PPG 11.2 RPG 2.6 APG (2.6 TOV) 3.6 BPG 1.0 SPG 42.3 FG% 49.3 2P% 27.3 3P% (31.7 3PAr) 78.6 FT% (40.4 FTr) 53.1 TS% A lot of ups and downs. The assertiveness was there at times, the lack of post moves is an area of development that is going to sharpen his game and bring him to another level offensively. A lot to get into, but ultimately his first bad playoff series in his career came at the worst moment.

A lot of Scorpio risings would do really well with assertiveness training and anger management (like how Adam Sandler in the movie Anger Management was too docile and didn't express his anger well, he held it in). Yes, we gotta manage the defense. And a lot of us are naturally good at this one- we're good at reacting. We sting when being attacked or confronted in an aggressive manner. But a lot of us need to get better at being on the offense. We tend to chill and hang back a little too long. We have patience & stillness, yes. But sometimes, we need to go ahead and pounce. We might f*ck around and wait too long. We've studied long enough. We know the opposition's moves now bc we've been studying them for awhile. Now it's time to make the move. Instead of just being in a reactive state, we can exercise our anticipatory strengths and get ahead of the situation. What do you think? Are you assertive enough? 🤔

god that's what i need assertiveness

Ooh Sir Starmer you are so strong and so forceful. You make me weak at the knees with your assertiveness.

Stop ascribing something that can be fixed with common sense, perseverance, hardwork and assertiveness to a spritual blocker. Some of you young women are repeating the dangerous Cycles of daddy Go and pastor worship because you’re just too spineless to use your head and figure life out for yourself. Your constant woe is me attitude has you ascribing everything you yearn for but don’t get to spiritual battles as opposed to observing your clearly lazy patterns and working harder for what you want. Instead of speaking up for yourself when you have been skipped, you stay mute, melt into yourself and then seek an Alfa that will help you pray against the spirit of “badluck” that supposedly surrounds you. Instead of taking pride and joy in your work, you’re constantly stuck seeking the counsel of a charlatan who will supposedly tell you why you haven’t found a man that will make you the envy of your peers. You’ve never attempted to do something by yourself to catch the eye of your peers and the only thing you can think of doing, is something only a specific kind of man can give you. I’m not sure why you would play in a game that is rigged against you. The most meaningless and casual of interactions and you’re already burning candles and looking for meaning where there is none. However you don’t have this much belief in yourself or in your sauce. You don’t put this much meticulous care and attention into yourself. Only your spiritual advicer deserves respect, the rest of the world gets your disdain, jealousy, callousness, ignorance and wickedness but somehow, you’re convinced that there’s a “black cloak” covering you that has stopped you from receiving favor Wake up.

#0 needs a bit of ego and assertiveness. It's 100% his choice to become a 6'10 Andre Miller and content watching likes of Pritchard and Hauser hijacking offense

France has emerged as a significant actor in the Eastern Mediterranean energy landscape, combining commercial interests, geopolitical ambition, and European energy security priorities. Its approach rests on three pillars: support for French corporate activity, especially through TotalEnergies; strategic alignment with Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, and Israel; and efforts to counterbalance Turkey’s growing assertiveness in the region. Since the major gas discoveries of the 2010s, France’s policy has evolved into a multi-layered strategy involving diplomacy, military presence, and energy investment. Recent developments between 2024 and 2026 show a more pragmatic shift away from costly pipeline visions and toward commercially viable export routes through Egypt. #Opinion by Dr Umud Shokri Read: middleeastmonitor.com/202606…

Scientology improved my reflexes, my ability to take action, my assertiveness so it appears I made progress but all I became was a better more efficient slave. Your capable but your still trapped within the Scientology belief system.

There was a time when we showed such resolve and assertiveness toward America, but today we are completely silent in front of it.

Sadly India displays lack of assertiveness and strategic weight, to call out US behaviour. We should put trade and other deals on hold. Such arrogance in our own backyard cannot be acceptable

Handshake etiquette dictates that Alhaji Rabiu’s overly extended arm signifies confidence, assertiveness, and his status as the host. While the vertical orientation of their palms indicates mutual equality, Alhaji Rabiu’s slight pressure on Dame Adora’s hand subtly asserts dominance.
