Sup /adv/. How do I become more assertive/blunt, without coming across as a bitch? I've had this issue before but the situation that's made me want to ask is that one of my housemates went out and bought a load of cleaning shit for the house without asking anyone else about it and then told everyone that essential, she's not taking into consideration what anyone else has bought around the house and "everyone now owes me X amount of money". One of the other girls I live with bought a bathroom mat and loads of cleaning supplies for the house already so I feel it's especially unfair to her, but really I just want to stop letting things slide all the time. I don't like making a big deal about things I won't care about in a few days/weeks time but I feel like sometimes it's necessary to speak my mind more than I do.
