Why should you stand up for yourself?

Reading Time: 5 minutes

In my social environment, I have a friend whose vocabulary is consisted of ‘maybe’, ‘I think…’ or ‘I believe.’ Those words are the product of his insecurity. He is eager to express his opinions and feelings about various topics that he knows a bit about. A dangerous trait: Why you are better off without opinions.

Second, those phrases are pumped with double standards. Every person who throws those phrases automatically setting women as weak.
