angriness lessons

[godream]

Okay, so how does one go about getting better at semi-confrontations? I have this possibly-terrible reflex of backing down right away from any sort of real disagreement -- not even in the sense of "well, you're entitled to your opinion" although I do that too but in the sense of "okay, I'm sorry, do you want me to make it up to you?" even when in retrospect I realize I've done nothing wrong, and asking others shows that they think I've been more than reasonable too. But the reflex for anything remotely resembling an accusation is still: whoa, sorry sorry sorry, eek... and I should learn to do better at that before I get out in the Real World and it starts mattering.

In other news, I'm actually ahead on psets and such. Better gloat about it while it lasts...
