When angry, be angry!

I've started to feel that it's good to deal with emotions head on and that confronting people is a healthy thing to do.  It's all very well to constantly look inwards and look at why certain things annoy you, but being a calm and unmoved person seems to encourage the worst in people sometimes. Which is why I've started confronting people and what they say. If someone is nasty or vindictive and it seems more than a case of me just being too sensitive, I'm going to express myself rather than turn everything inwards. Not only does this help me, but it also encourages others to be more aware of what they're saying and how it affects people.
I've done this a few times lately, and it's fun! I'll call it PAssertiveness.
