If you’re tired of being walked over, here’s how to assert yourself:
✋ Stop apologizing unnecessarily.
Don’t start requests with "Sorry." Own your space confidently.
🛑 Learn to say no.
If something doesn’t align with your interests or energy, politely but firmly decline. Your well-being matters.
⏳ Pause before agreeing.
When asked for a favor, take a moment. Respond with, "Let me think about it," instead of immediately saying yes. Boundaries matter.
