Just a random question that I didn't know where to put.. it's a bit personal but we're all friendly and accepting on here so I don't mind admitting my weaknesses.
Has anyone here had any help with assertiveness? It's been getting me down just how passive I really am. Even my colleagues at work put me on a 1 day assertiveness course but it didn't help me that much as I couldn't stick to what they suggested in the handouts. I can say the things, but because I have very low self-esteem, I don't believe my opinions are worth speaking, which makes the phrases seem unbelievable to me so I don't even bother. That sounds really pathetic I know, but it's a really serious problem and really getting to me.
I have gone on ebay and there's a few different self-esteem/self-confidence/assertiveness CD's, but I wondered if any of you had any CD's/courses/books that you would recommend?
You all seem pretty assertive to be honest!!! but there's no harm in asking eh x
