[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve found the best way is to reverse things - I start off with extremely strict boundaries, and as people show they can respect them, I loosen them up and become nicer. If they don’t respect boundaries, I just enforce them and am never “nice”.

I own a business and have found I have to be this way with all men and Type A women. If I’m accommodating at the beginning, they learn they can talk me into things and it will never end. [/quote]

Type A women are so tough. I actually do fine with men -- I learned to stand up to them a long time ago because my dad is a jerk and I have multiple brothers. I don't take sht from men.

Women who are very controlling, especially if done in a friendly, passive-aggressive way, have been a huge challenge for me. I find you have to assert your boundaries and keep reasserting them over and over and over. It's really exhausting.

There are a lot of women like this in DC.[/quote]

I’m in nyc and they’re here too. Pushy pushy pushy and controlling [/quote]
