Ok so I always wondered if it's normal that I never speak up? Examples are say when at work I bust my ass all the time sure I got a raise before others, but I have one boss who rides my ass. As I work I will be told to also do other things at other stations while other just sit down and talk or eat. I want to speak up and say something, like wtf why don't they do that instead of me. Or another example I will be with friends it's not like I'm some lame kid but it seems I just don't stand up for myself. But anyways with friends we'll be messng around blah blah and someone could say something about me everyone will laugh and instead of sayin something I just sit there. And friends will sit there and talk stupid or do really annoying things and I just sit there and they do it at my house when it annoys the hell out of me is this normal I never speak out?

    It's normal but not very healthy. You should probably find a hobby that lets all of your aggression out in a positive manner. I am the same way with my friends and then about 3 years ago I took up MMA as hobby and now they are all afraid to set me off LOL.

    I'm kind of the same way. I'm trying to speak up a bit more now though. I don't want people to walk over me. If your balancing your tolerance with your own personal confort, then I would say your fine.

    Well, its very common when some one complains that he works honestly, but others do not.As for in your case, you are a shy person who does not want to hurt others feelings and tolerate aal the wrong doings.It is quite normal and a virtu too. There are not so many people who tolerate others and soon get biger problems. My advice is keep your self as you are and do your job honestly. your concious would bey peacful and calm. moreove you will not get futher problems by protesting. Nobody will help you and you will find new enemies among your co-workers.

    What are you afraid will happen if you do speak up?
    Once you are cool with the worst case scenario, you'll have more confidence.

    And remember that you are the one who teaches people how to treat you.
