As an introvert who is also shy and dislikes confrontation, I have always struggled with defending myself and feel I have taken crap off of people throughout my life (I’m an older adult). I think back on situations and incidents that really make me angry, mainly at myself for not standing up for myself. I can be too passive and since confrontation requires quick on-the-spot response this goes against my introverted nature. Does anyone else feel this way? How have you dealt with it or overcome it?
