This is my point. Unfortunately we live in a passive/aggressive world. Lessons in assertiveness are difficult and take time and practice. The alternatives of acquiesce or defiance are examples of passive/aggressive behavior. Anyone coming here for help ought to be taken at their word and not held up as some example. People are at where they are at and if we weigh in here we ought to be thinking in terms of getting someone through the gate and across the street rather than to another country.
We crawl, then walk.
And this is my two cents for anyone reading this forum and for anyone coming here for help.
And this is such excellent advice.
However, haven't we all just about had enough of the narcissistic tantrums being thrown when little Johnny or Jane don't get their way?
And I've had interns in our offices who have been trained that everything has to become a negotiation in order that somehow it all gets shaped to suit them.
This is destructive behaviour and must be checked. Sometimes it takes a village to tell a child that it isn't all bout them.
