Georgiana: 坚定立场对我来说意味着在表达自己的观点和感受时，要坚持自己的决定，即使别人不同意。重要的是，我不会轻易让别人改变我的想法，因为我相信自己是正确的。当我坚定立场时，我会清晰地表达我的观点，但同时也会保持冷静和礼貌，即使对方不这样。例如，如果我的老板要求我加班，但我有其他安排，我会礼貌但坚定地拒绝，并解释原因。我相信，坚定立场能帮助我建立自尊，因为当我诚实和坚定时，我会感到自豪。同时，它也能防止误解，因为别人会清楚地知道我的意思。为了在坚定立场的同时不显得粗鲁，我会使用清晰和积极的语言，承认对方的观点，控制自己的情绪，并在必要时重复我的回答。通过这些方法，我可以在表达自己的同时，保持尊重和礼貌。
