Said this before.

Spend a day out of the week where you say whatever you want (within reason). No filter. Then realize that the world didn't end and nobody gives a fuck.

Then you calibrate and do it over and over and next thing you know you're not a lil bitch no more

There are books on assertiveness and certain assertiveness training. I think books like When I say no I feel guilty touches on that, its in the sidebar and recommended in these spaces.

Action. Words are hollow. Action Action Action. If you are someone who struggles with being decisive, it’s time to start acting impulsively for a bit.

I am the opposite, and can sometimes be far too impulsive. But I have always found my worst decisions have ended up better than not make a decision at all.

My group of friends in college were some degenerates. We would have fight club minus the brain trauma + a ref. We had a quiet friend who literally saved people’s lives in a structure fire. Still wouldn’t speak up. I decided to push him past the point of passiveness one night, and we sparred. He won. After that, he started asserting himself and not being such a pushover, not saying it has to be that extreme but get yourself out of your comfort zone. Take a job where you have to talk to people constantly

Call the person that pisses you of the most a cunt...guy/girl no matter. Stand there and watch their response, then laugh.

Assertiveness. Something you either have or you don't. But on the right conditions in life you can leart and adapt all these traits.. and unlock even more.. Learn to build yourself up in so many aspects in life so that you're confident in being able to stand your ground when other try to forcefully overstep your boundaries.

Decisiveness Seeing the potential opportunities that you are particularly interested in. You learn ways to "seize" that golden opportunity. How to learn that is simple. Learn ways to go for and picture what you want. Even if it is a particular option presented to you at the particular time. Go for it.

Don’t eat too much. Actually limit yourself to 2 meals a day. If you are indeed a panda that will surely piss you off and anger is the first step towards assertiveness. Noone who is assertive and decisive is also chill. They might be charming for a while but at the end of the day they(we) are angry.
