Practice telling people your opinion even if you're afraid of their responses.
Careful that you don't confuse assertiveness with aggressiveness though. There's a fine line. No one likes opinions or demands pushed on them in an overly aggressive way.“Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist”--George Carlin
