I didn't used to be assertive for "not wanting to throw people under the bus." But now I know some things just aren't right
Also on Monday I was assertive with my pdoc just enough to get the med increase I needed but not too pushy to get him angry. Its a toss up sometimes though.

Yep that's how it is for me since I don't like throwing people under the bus. It could come off as you being crazy or disrespectful. You are right though it's getting to a point where it shouldn't matter what others think. Also yes it's a balancing act between being assertive enough to where you're not walked over but not so much that you come off as arrogant and making someone angry.
