Don't be a pushover But also don't let people think you give a shit But also be assertive and show feelings when it's right But also be yourself But also don't be too assertive because then people will think you give too much of a shit. But also don't care too much what others think of you But also don't be a pushover.

How the fuck do I figure this shit out? I've been practicing not caring what people think of me and not giving a shit, but people test me and i never know when to react and be "assertive" or just "let it go" and not give a shit.

Another question is... I go on dates and feel comfortable talking to the person, but where's the line in giving a shit and not giving a shit.
