Yeah. I saw The Apprentice today, and everyone tries to be like Trump, yet it looks so stupid, because they get very incongruent. The confidence Trump has cannot be emulated, it's something that comes from within.
Ok not that what i said about had much to do with the topic. I think that a "strong personality" and the resistance to confrontation can only be achieved through practice and experience.
That's what those "desensitization" therapies that some people with SA go through are about; exposing people to situations long enough that they feel comfortable with it. I think that this is the best way to deal with any field of social interactions where you are primarily uncomfortable with.
No amount of "affirmations", "visualizations", or whatever are going to be as effective and have as lasting effects as actually doing and experiencing it long enough that you get good at it. And yes, you will go through tuff experiences, but, unfortunately, in this world, things rarely come easy jumping on our laps.
Lol i just had a few issues that i needed to handle didn't know how and i just answered them now in my post. If we only listened to our own advices...
