Can standing up for oneself be taught, or is it an inherent trait?
@9J246DH5mos5MO
It can be both. You have to learn how to stand up for yourself in the long run, but you can also get help. I feel getting help from someone and relying on them are two different things. Being taught how to defend yourself could be a good life skill but having someone resue you will never help you.
I think it depends on the individual. Parents teach you how to protect yourself in life situations. Sometimes you can be put in a fight or flight situation.
