People mistake my assertiveness with something totally unrelated, like, "you are BITTER, for a social worker, shouldn't you be a bit more compassionate?" Do you know what compassionate actually means? It does not mean allowing yourself to become hurt or dragged down by another's misfortunes. It means understanding, and feeling sorrow for one's suffering. BIG DIFFERENCE. How is standing up for what you believe is right related to bitterness? Should I spend my days holding my voice when I KNOW what I have to say is the truth? Am I supposed to let the world walk all over me, and every time it happens, just let it slide off my shoulder like it never happened? Anger is healthy and normal, as long as it does not become violent against myself or anyone else. Passive aggressive behavior is sick and unhealthy--and what is even more sad is that many of them don't even realize what they are doing to those around them. They have fearful egos, and they can remain exactly where they are. I cannot feel sorry for grown adults who continue to bring other people down into their self-pity. No person should allow themselves to become victimized by these people. When their anger does come out from hiding, who is the bigger bitch or asshole, you or them? They are the TRUE heartless people of the world.
