So I don't know about others. But even when I'm assertive, few seem to listen to me. I admit due to my parents, the bulling I experienced, and in general my life experiences. This has been reinforced. If people won't listen to me I often slide into a light hostile tone. This also stems from not being able to take criticism well. I know I can use Ti to fight this and be logical but it seems my Fe makes it very tempting to just rip someone a new one.
I know this won't work. And really if I'm assertive and clear ( I know I could always be a little more of each) and people don't listen then their is not much I can do to make them listen to me. And I shouldn't get angry because its a waste of energy and time.
So what do you do if the people around you (family, roommates, freinds) don't listen to you. How do you deal with it. If being assertive fails. What would you do.
