When I was younger I bit my tongue on a lot of things. I was quiet. As I grew older I've let my tongue go. If I feel strongly about something I will speak up.

I still have tendency to let things slide by me because I feel it does not need to be addressed. I get judged for that a lot because friends and those who surround me feel as if I should have spoken up, but I honestly don't see the purpose in getting hotheaded over something that does not effect me.

I feel like I could be more assertive about somethings, but I truly do not sweat the small stuff. I kind of still struggle with who I was .. the quiet young girl I once was.

Do any other cancers struggle with this?

Assertion?

I'm just like this...If it's not too much of a big deal to me,I don't make alot of noise about it..My Libran ex almost crucified me for being too nice and laidback at one point...Yes a Leeb wanted to toughen me up lol but he just don't get that its not about being weak or strong, I just didn't give a damn at allllllll.

Cancers have big egos but they don't really act on it. Silent confidence sorta.They look like they don't really have opinions or cares bout the small stuff but really it's because they dont trip over petty stuff and times they should he assertive when there not it's because they are respecting someone's freedom or letting things happen naturally or they're scared or they're feeling things out or they don't see it to be important or they don't think they'll get their needs met or shits busy with life. That's the reasons I know so far.

I'm the same if it doesn't involve me who gives a s*** I rarely get into confrontations with anybody. Can I be assertive? yes, when I need to be people are surprised when I lay the law down.
