		<description>Being assertive does not have to lead to conflict. Being assertive is the same thing as speaking your opinion or standing up for yourself and there is nothing wrong with that. You can do it in a non-conflict way. My weakness is that I am too assertive and sometimes I think people view me as being a b*@ch. There&#039;s really a fine line.</description>

		<description>Fake it. I am not kidding, the moments when my anxiety is at it&#039;s highest, I completely fake it.  You&#039;ll get the hang of it, because you have the smarts to back it up.  Good Luck!</description>

		<description>I think you nailed it right on the head.  It is because of your lack of confrontation and dislike of conflict.  Learn to be smart and listen...but also be smart and take action.  My weakness is my &quot;action&quot; turns into @$$holiness....</description>
