I was kind of perturbed and asked why I have to change and be assertive when it doesn't come naturally to me. Why can't these people just treat me with respect without me asking it of them?

Other people are not responsible for our needs. We are the only people who know ourselves the best. Each person has to stand up for themselves. (This reminds me of the story that I told about my neighbor here the other day. She was putting me in charge in her mind and was waiting for me to ask her her opinion. That's not my job! I can't take care of everyone else. I would need to be a mind reader and would be working my butt off!)
