It has come to my attention over the last few months that what is really holding me back in this life is my inability to say exactly what I need to say when I need to say it. I think it comes from all of those years working in the customer service industry and having to deal with all the a**holes out there who just say whatever they feel because they think since they are not behind the counter they can treat you like crap. I have always said I never wanted to be one of those people who does that, but I think it carried into my personal life a little farther than I wanted it to. I can be at a nice restaurant and not get at all what I ordered, but I do not want to seem like the jerky complaining customer, so I just let it go and overpay for something I did not really want to eat in the first place. I let teachers give me crappy grades on things I do not deserve because I do not want to be that whinny student who complains until they get their grades changed. I am that guy who can never confront any of his friends about things that need to be said, even if it is truly a vital part of the friendship, because I do not want to be that uptight guy who just needs to let things go . I am also that guy who can never ever tell a girl exactly how he feels about her, because I do not want to be mister desperado. So in light of all these things I have decided that I am going to start asserting myself more often, I mean if that is okay with everyone else.
