1. As I call my father, I'm a stubborn pushover lol. Meaning I'll be incredibly stubborn, but if I'm pushed around enough, I eventually give in.

2. It's incredibly hard for me to say no in situations. My friends always ask me to go places and I'm always like "I don't wanna..." cuz I'm lazy and want to stay home, but then I think about it more and I don't want to seem like a terrible friend. I also think going out and doing stuff is good for me! Especially with my introverted personality. I need to DO things. I'm trying to turn myself into an ambivert >:3

3. sighhhhhhh The life I desire is dating this one guy, but... I'm too much of a coward to ask him because I KNOW he's straight. Or maybe my brain just hopes he's straight so I don't get into a relationship so fast. I DON'T KNOW ***SOB*** He also lives in Wyoming, so it's not like we'd cuddle much anyway :( Cuddling is my #1 priority- pfft

4. Hahahahhaha- yeah. Low self-esteem. Hm. I wonder who has that. Not this guy. Anxiety? Well, yeah. I have that. Feeling like my life is not in my control? It's really not- Even after I'm an adult, I'm still not really going to be doing exactly what I want ToT

5. WAY TO CALL ME OUT. WTH. I've been taught that I shouldn't talk about my opinions. It's a thing my parents have subconsciously taught us. They get angry when we disagree with them and I've gotten grounded for 6 months for disagreeing.

6. There are different types. Assertive: which is where you're more self-confident and you're communicating with others in a direct and honest manner without intentionally hurting anyone's feelings. Aggressive: where you're obviously acting in a cruel manner to get what you want or tell others that they are wrong, usually angry. Passive: you let everyone kind of walk all over you and you can't say no, like at all. Passive-aggressive: you have a tendency to outwardly agree with the requests and opinions of others only to fail to follow through on these requests, often indirectly expressing anger or resentment in the process. I have taken tests and I show passive-aggressiveness.

7. Meh.

8. Yeah. I feel like being more aggressive ties into being selfish and narcissistic because you're forcing others to give you what you want.

9. I need more planning lmao

10. ughhhhhhhhhhh. I don't really want to go to a therapist for this stuff ToT I'll try and deal with it on my own.
