#assertiveness
Oscar invited Wendell over to help train his 'assertiveness', but once in a while he has to remind the pup who's in charge~

It’s just so freaking nice to hear people speak with intelligence, efficiency, & kindness with just the right level of assertiveness & confidence. 😍☺️

Just a breath of fresh air.

Bedroom Strengths vs Weaknesses?

Carver: Athleticism / Insatiability
Rowan: Attentiveness / Lack of Assertiveness
Colby: Awareness / Lack of Spontaneity
Milo: Curiosity / Timidity
What is your OC's greatest strength in the bedroom and their greatest weakness? (Example: Excellent at fingering but terrible stroke game)

behavior in corps.
Resrchers found males were more assertive & females more manipulative, as expected
But: Surprise: Gender was not the factor that BEST predicted assertiveness vs. manipulativeness.
What was the factor?
Status
High status ppl get results when they R assertive. Low status ppl don't

As a young mum my child would #boss me about so I eagerly awaited evening classes on assertiveness. On enrolling though, I learned there wasn’t enough interest & the tutor was teaching meditation instead. The few of us that preferred the original idea just went along with this & stayed quiet #vss365

We need better, stronger, unapologetic leadership. We could have turned Florida with more assertiveness. We cannot get comfortable or forgiven

It depends how close you are to this person. If it’s someone you like and value as a friend etc, just put it down to experience. If not, explain to them the error of their ways with tactful assertiveness

Where's his assertiveness when we need it?

Color / ethnicity isn't important.
Assertiveness for the rule of law (the Constitution is)!
Put a pitbull in that position, someone like Jack Smith or Jasmine Crockett, someone who will get what needs to be done, done.

of course! i'm known for my assertiveness :3 (big lie)

I’m so proud and inspired by your assertiveness for advocating for yourself and your team. Goals. I hope it goes in your favor.

That was what I was getting at, yes. Having watched the video, I think that even more now, considering how much he uses the word "patriots" in the speech & how he mangles it from the original to fit the speech, I think he just likes the assertiveness of the phrase.

That is 100% how the new-ish layer of assertiveness reads, damn. Who is Steven Miller in this analogy?

Have actually experienced this myself too, while visiting as a non-resident with a (hairline) fracture. Was sent away from ER to go find a GP first. And an anti assertiveness nurse was called in when I politely but persistently stated the time-wasting nonsense. Procedures are importanter

The assertiveness, the attitude, the fucking recommendation, not threat, stellar.

So proud of the mental health Americans showed. Living in a dysfunctional family is hard and scary. Interdependence, self determination, assertiveness and empowerment are signs of mental health.

It doesnt even include any relevent punishment for the actual cheating, and I think its a statement of intent that a club is already on notice for non-compliance before licenses even get issued.

Theres no easing themselves in or time to find their footing, its real front foot assertiveness.

On top of the work from @rosecityriveters.org and @tacovertops.bsky.social in Seattle last weekend, I just noticed the support of the #TransLawCenter - that org has become the beneficiary of ALL the trans pride merch I make, so I just wanted to point out that YOU GUYS helped support this. 🏳️‍⚧️ 💪

I would love to see Joe Neguse instead (still would be the first black Speaker in history, has shown far more assertiveness against Republican wrongdoers)

i fear i'm on a path to referring to myself as a useless lesbian while journaling at least weekly now. manifesting an end to this and the beginning of assertiveness

Most likely. But Commissioners don’t exactly obey member states govts (and are officially supposed not to).

The Parliament could probably get its way by firing the commission until it agreed to hand over the legislative timetable but it hasn’t shown that assertiveness and it’s unlikely it will

... may be taken in by a low confidence, low assertiveness attitude to world affairs.
Yes, Russia is frightening and we don't want war.
Yes, America is run by a crook who has leverage.
But the old alliance is gone.
A sensible American successor to Trump will still have a lot more respect...

disney princesses are written as adorkable disasters because theyre allergic to writing female characters with power or assertiveness but they like reskinned that allergy post-2010 so its feminist and quirky and cool with modern audiences
