Agreed. I'm better about it than I used to be. When I was younger I think I was kind of a people pleaser in a way. I really didn't voice my opinion that well, kind of went with the flow. The Air Force helped me find my voice some, but not completely.

It's not a huge issue for me anymore, mainly because I tend to self-isolate except for family and work. I really don't have any friends that I do things with, so it really doesn't come up that much for me anymore.
