          A bit. I’m not naturally very dominant or even assertive, but I learned to be that way. Now people look up to me, but the responsibility isn’t fun 😖

            Fake it it till you, make it get stuck doing it an have no way out.

            But TBH I massively prefer to work with people who “fake” their assertiveness. Getting people who are actually cocksure to accept new ideas is near-impossible if there is even the tiniest incompatibility with something they already consider true.
