You are seen as a *****, selfish, no one likes that, especially if you usually are being walked over all the time.

Who sees you this way? The person you were assertive with that is used to walking all over you? Or are YOU seeing yourself this way?
I tend to be assertive in professional roles but very passive in my personal relationships. When I first started re-asserting myself in my marriage, my H didn't like the change. Honestly, he adjusted.

I often think other people (friends) see me as a ***** or self-centered, but in reality they don't. It is me projecting.
