Being assertive

Why is it that I have so much trouble telling people exactly what I want? Like, tonight I was getting my nails done by a woman I don't know. I told her specifically what I want and then watched her not do it.

Seriously, I'm paying her. Plus, it's my nails that she's doing...I'm the one that has to look at the work she did. That I paid her for.

Why is it that I couldn't bring myself to insist on what I want?

I get the same way. It's like I don't want to offend people who are doing the exact opposite of what I asked.
