ill try to make this brief but understandable
i have anxiety issues and do see a therapist and pracitice cognitive therapy
my question is not really directed towards my condition but rather just a broader concept of human behavior and why we behave like we do
why is it when someone senses fear in a person there first instinct is to exploit that
i have lost jobs due to this and its very frustrating almost to the point where
i feel like not associaiting with no one at all but i need to make money
most people would look at me and say well he feels scared all the time because
he is guilty of something ive been accused of being a rapist,child molestor,ect
because i am a passive person but very kind,polite,and would help anyone that needed it
i know my strenghts but than why is it that someone like me who tries to do good is criticized
ive also been called gay all types of stuff but this person or persons passes judgment on someone they dont know
are there techniques any of u would suggest on how to become more assertive
i dont want to be scared of people its just that the way the world is today everyone is overly agressive and i dont know if i can or would i want to conform to this way of thinking to be labeled a normal person if there is any kind of definition of what normal is
but i dont want to become overly agresssive to the point where would cause conflict because my nature is peaceful
anyways thanks for the advice really appreciate it
