Whenever I am faced with things that do not really favor ourselves, we normally tend to resist. Resistance could be demonstrated in countless forms, from simply uttering words to directly acting upon the action. I believe that to resist is totally a normal thing to do; if you exist, you are expected to resist.
I am a person who seems to be really fond of resisting; weird, but I feel a bit of self-fulfillment with it. I resist whenever I need to; I resist whenever I do not and just for the sake of. Sometimes, it helps and sometimes, it does not. Resistance can be considered to be positive or negative depending on how it is to be used and applied. Resistance is usually good since you give yourself a chance to express and not just agree on the things that are fed to you by the society in general.

I usually resist verbally. Whenever I feel that something is not right or is not going too well, I say it right away and express what I feel. However, I find it hard to do it sometimes because I become afraid of what other people will feel after my resistance. We cannot really help it but some people tend to misunderstand us and look at us the other way around.
At times, I tend not to do some things as a form of resistance. For instance, when my parents told me to stay away from certain people because they believed that they are just going to cause me harm, I did the opposite. I made it a point to be with those people every time I had the opportunity, instead. It has really affected them; nevertheless, I guess it somehow worked since my parents have come to understand my reasons and just tried to understand me the best way they could.
