> Good for you! sticking up for yourself is very important. The only thing is that it's a habit that you have to nurture. At first it can be very uncomfortable, but with time and practice, you can learn to say "no this is unacceptable"
>I sure don't feel my 45 years - more like a little kid afraid to tell her mom that she just broke something very valuable. That's the kind of emotional weight that standing up for myself carries. Weird how I'm able to do it as a consumer with no problem, and in business with no problem either - but when it comes to myself and my own values, I rank myself way, way down low on the totem pole of Life.
I can attribute some of this sliding down to my depression and the isolation that has crept into my daily life. And my last couple of job experiences were esteem-crushers.

But it's a bit quiet!
