I'd like to meet:

God, Oprah, and my future husband! Thats pretty much it for now...This pretty much sums me up:"I must be strong"Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.How to Get Along with Me:Stand up for yourself... and me.Be confident, strong, and direct.Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.Give me space to be alone.Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.What I Like About Being a Eightbeing independent and self-reliantbeing able to take charge and meet challenges head onbeing courageous, straightforward, and honestgetting all the enjoyment I can out of lifesupporting, empowering, and protecting those close to meupholding just causesWhat's Hard About Being a Eightoverwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend tobeing restless and impatient with others' incompetencesticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for itnever forgetting injuries or injusticesputting too much pressure on myselfgetting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go rightEights as Children Oftenare independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spiritare sometimes lonersseize control so they won't be controlledfugure out others' weaknessesattack verbally or physically when provokedtake charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundingsEights as Parentsare often loyal, caring, involved, and devotedare sometimes overprotectivecan be demanding, controlling, and rigid.
