As a man you can't NEVER be passive. You HAVE to be active and sometimes even agressive. Or you stop being passive naturally or you learn the hard way and your body just gives up being nice due to work stress or frustration.Don't trust any normie who tells you anything different. Especially women. They tend to teach their sons into being passive for reasons I literally don't know. Maybe they has an unconscious fear of their sons since they can become violent men, and project the fear into the kid. My mother for example would shut down any form of assertion and aggressiveness from me saying that this is bad and I wasn't a good boy for doing that. But newsflash, you are now an adult and other men like conflict and to assert themselves and if you can't you will end up making more and more concessions until you take one so absurd from a client from work, you can't take it and almost (that's right I'm still a passive faggot) explodes and gets home fuming but don't do shit about it because you are so passive. Holy fuck I hate myself and I hate working with clients.
>>84925128There's a balance to be had, but yeah, don't listen to women on this. They'll hate you for being passive then also hate you for being too domineering
>>84925128>you are now an adult and other men like conflict and to assert themselveswhat the fuck are you talking about?assert what? at whom?
During my parents youth they could just punch someone. Dudes got beat up and didn't act like retards. Now we live in surveillance states, just try to beat up some fag and see yourself all over twitter in a few hours with police investigation. "Strong silent" type is now "non-acting strong silent"
>>84925143The main issue is that it affects me so much that the moment I get to work my countenance and personality shifts, my body shrinks, and I feel unable to speak louder. It has been something I'm working on but that's how my day usually goes.>>84925228I would call you a fag for asking at the same time you asserted yourself. But if you are on a job or a low-trust society people and especially men will try to one up you, asking you for things because they know you aren't the type to say no, or treat you badly, because they know you don't react. This happens especially with gypsies.

>>84925671And I work as a graphic designer + customer service + Decal application on Middle of Nowheresville, Brazil where the Coca-Cola is $6,00 a liter, the women are ugly and people smell like cheetos cheese, Knorr Beef Cubes or unwashed meat.
>>84925128apparently losing my wallet was symbolic for something.
>>84925760>Brazil where the Coca-Cola is $6,00 a liter, the women are ugly ai was told brazilian women were hot
>>84925822It depends on the area. Also pretty women here get out of small cities as soon as they get out of HS, because they get into college (free here) or get together with someone else quickly. I thought this happened in any country, not just Brazil.
