Sometimes I get really mad at myself when I look back on the conversations that I've had throughout the day.  I feel like I become a different person around some people, and that I'll just agree with everything they say and allow them to push me around without realizing that they're doing it.  I like to think of myself as a strong, independent woman who's not afraid to voice her opinion, but when I think about conversations that I've had (and today's just one example) I find that I'm only that strong, outspoken person around people that I know will ultimately agree with me, or people I can boss around.  When I've having conversations with people who are very intelligent and who also have strong opinions, I'm much meeker and more likely to end up agreeing with them.
