I'm glad you had a good experience with that. I'm not too assertive either. I was worse when I was younger. Usually by the time I'd speak up, I'd have made myself mad thinking about it, and I probably came across as too aggressive. That makes for bad experiences. And then it's even harder to speak up the next time.
