Do I risk becoming a jerk?

[Lucius]

I think you risk becoming a jerk in the short term as you learn to start setting boundaries but I think you will become a much better person in the long term as you gather the strength to make all your ambitions come true.

I agree. I am beginning to see the difference between being assertive and being a jerk. It seems to be a fine line but I hope the difference will become obvious to me by the end of the run.
