Grow some bloody backbone

I've been told that I am a nice person - not in a 'the only way to describe someone" way but apparently in fun, friendly, enjoy spending time with you and wish you the best way.  However, I have also been told that perhaps I am too nice - that I get walked over because I don't want to offend or simply don't worry about it or even just can't be arsed.

This has been percolating around in my mind as I try to work out if this is true. Psychologists say that there are many different truths - those we all know, those only I know and those that they know.  Unfortunately, I am starting to realise that perhaps they might be right ..................

I am not hugely confident - in fact, I tend to be hugely surprised when people like me, when men find me attractive and when carefully laid plans come off.  So perhaps the need 'not rock the boat' means I don't stick up for myself and let others get away with things.

While obviously, I don't intend to morph into Anna Wintour, I think it is time that I grew some backbone ...........   if I don't want to do something and there is no real reason why I should then I think that I might just try to say No - without trying to lie about why I don't want to.

Lets see if that makes life simpler
