Looking around on GAG questions, I notice a simple solution to many problems people question: be assertive and boldly honest. It would diffuse all of the confusion. I recognize that some people are simply passive by nature and it's difficult for them to find it in themselves and just boldly put the question out there. Yet, I really feel like it would make some situations so much easier. Many times people come here trying to figure out how someone is feeling and what they're thinking via GAG community when they could just ask that specific individual. When I used to be more quiet and passive, I NEVER got the results I wanted. I just sat around longing for them and wondering how they'd make my life feel. Then I got sick and tired of it so I simply practiced the art of assertive behavior and the difference in my life results are impeccable. I've found that simple assertive, bold body language makes a totally different outcome.

I think there are some situations where in order to get the results you want, you should just slide under the radar and let things play out without taking any assertive action. However, in most other situations, it just seems like having an assertive presence and being bold gets you farther faster.

What do you think? Do you believe that being more assertive makes many life situations easier to deal with? Any personal experiences?
