My problem is that when I get angry, especially over snide remarks, my knee-jerk reaction is to be snide right back. It's not something I actually act on since I know to step back, take a breather and think but it's generally why most of the time I end up saying nothing at all. Other times, it's simply a matter of not knowing how to word it in a way to get it across that I'm offended without causing offense in return.

Although these days I find myself going deeper and deeper into the world of speaking up. I know it doesn't really solve anything, not all the time, but sometimes it's just nice to say something and let people know that, hey, some of us aren't going to stand for this.
