To throw your weight around means to assert oneself in a controlling domineering or authoritarian manner, but the context describes being submissive and unassuming
Context: Maybe nice people were fine, and maybe you didn't have to be so submissive and unassuming all the time.
Hypothesis: Maybe nice people were fine, and maybe you didn't have to throw your weight around all the time.

Is the hypothesis incorrect? (Yes, no, or unknown)?
