If you see something wrong..

I do if its really bothering me otherwise I just let it go.

I didn't used to speak up , but i'm slowly starting to

I used to get myself into trouble (not with authority or anything) by speaking out for myself and close friends back when I was at school. It's not worth it in the long run, as soon as I spoke out and approached the offending party I would be alone because nobody would back me up. I used to get beat up quite a bit because of it but as I got older I've learnt to hold back because it's simply not worth it. It takes all of my might because I'm naturally angry and impulsive so anybody trying to anger me gets to me rather quickly. It's a skill I've learnt and perfected, until now it seems anyway, but one that I shouldn't have to.

I wouldn't speak up very often. If it was someone I knew I'd defo say something and be like "cop on". If it was someone I didn't know I wouldn't say anything but I would throw them the dirtiest look and if I'm with something I'll probably vocalise it to them (loud enough so the person can hear). I'm horrid.

I spend quite a lot of time shouting at drivers in other cars alright

I love saying this to people about things they've done. I'm guilty for the dog poo thing (and I think the sign around my street is aimed at me) so I don't on that but things like people putting their feet on my cinema chair, I'll say something. If I hear someone loudly and over swearing infront of kids, I have in the past said, mate... there's kids around and they've often shut up, some scruffs just say they don't care... i probably wouldn't carry on the argument if they argue back because it means they're probs harder than me LOL. Key is to pick your target, go for someone that will listen to you

lol it's amusing, ive noticed how humanity turns a blind eye. ive thought about how like if i saw someone with a knife in a bus looking dodgy, i wouldn't want to tell the bus driver etc incase i was WRONG god forbid and caused a scene. we worry about being wrong or bringing attention to ourselves rather than potentially save or help someone :/.

recently ive become so outspoken. if someone said something rude to or about me id leave it in fear of what else they would say. or just wouldn't say anything in general incase they retaliated by personally attacking me but now i give as good as i get, it shocks people but i feel you gain more respect standing up for yourself than being quiet and 'not stooping to their level.' i would worry people would lose respect for me if i retaliated and got rude with someone as im generally the opposite, but now i don't let others talk **** to me.

often enough i just give a ***** face to people doing something i find offensive or w.e and if they ask if i have a problem id tell them why. the other day my mum, the one person I'd have never spoken against or back to, was doing her people pleasing act laughing along at the racist man next to us until i told her to stop people pleasing and talking to racists and it shut them both up. people are so scared to speak out, i actually get a bit of a thrill to speak out lol you'll find that once you do, it gives courage to others to do the same but alas many of us are still too focused on ourselves and worrying about how they'll look rather than help another person.
