Blind Spot

Through the course of my life I have always tended to be a quiet, soft-spoken person. I have always felt as though I am very aware of my environment and of people feelings around me. I am very cautious of staying away from confrontation. It has always been my weakness. It has been hard for my to develop the skills to deal with confrontation. Many times I find myself suffering because I am afraid that someone I know will suffer instead. I keep my opinions hidden if I feel that they will offend someone or cause strife between others. This would in many cases lead to lying to cover up my true feelings. And from there I would begin believe these things that I would say and accepting them as truths about myself. Lately, I have been working towards being firm in my beliefs and saying what I mean and meaning what I say.
