So, having taken a long hard look at myself lately I've realised that I have been pushed around to one degree or another most of my life. This has been both physical and verbal by the usual suspects; bigger kids at school, older siblings, bosses at work ect. It is clear to me now that I am dominated by people with forceful personalites all the time.
I think we all agree on here that one's personality can be consciously changed. Can anyone suggest some practical ways to develop what is commonly know as a 'strong character'/ strong personality?I've had few ideas:
- Martial arts,
- Self defense, any combat arts so if a verbal confrontation gets physical you can handle it.
- Go to the gym.
- Bulk up and develop some presence.
- Join the army.
- They have a reputation for turning mice into men.
- Do an exercise where you are deliberatley difficult and argumentative.

Self confidence seems a fine solution for all kinds of situations, but it certainly is not the only option. Understand the mechanism and your alternatives. It will be tough the first few times but through repetition and experience I'll toughen up.All ideas would be greatley appreciated thanks.
A strong personality is like a melody!!
