You’re getting more comfortable with saying what you mean and meaning what you say. It’s very important because you’re the one who suffers when you edit, rephrase, or suppress your true feelings to make others feel good. No fan of confrontation, you’ve discovered how to turn arguments into conversations and disagreements into respectable differences of opinion. The end result is that people know where you stand. Sometimes you’ll win; sometimes you won’t. The next thing you’ll have to work on is your good sportsmanship. It’s not something you’ve had to think about before which means that the whole idea will take some getting used to.
