For example, when I interact with guys, I try not to speak as much so I don’t get ribbed on. This works better in my early 20s then it did as a child. If someone was to shout at me I would lose control of myself I’d fight them or start tearing up. I have a more agreeable nature to avoid conflicts which pisses me off.

To be honest I want a strong minded girl but I know that I can’t handle her at all.

I guess my question is how do I not become so submissive in conflicts and not look so beta when getting ripped on.
