Just do it and it will get a lot easier. You will be treated with more respect once you do.

Well, first you have to tell yourself that you are worth standing up for. Then you have to realize that you are the only person in this world that you can absolutely count on, so don't let yourself down.
I don't really know the extent of your issue so I cannot tell you exactly how to handle things.
Just remember there is nothing wrong with standing up for yourself! People respect those who stand up for themselves and anyone who gets mad at you for doing so is the kind of person who takes advantage of shy or timid people.
I hope your situation improves, you sound like you are on the right track. Good luck and keep your chin up.

are you big? or muscular? just say "if u wanna do it like then lets go!" 95% of people are talk and no fight so be able to back it up but most people will back down even push them if u have too most anyone will back u dont have to have good burns u just have to have a streetfighter mentality. And get involved in sports to make u tougher and help build ur confidence!

You have to be very strong minded & determined when standing up for yourself. There's nothing wrong with people who can't seem to stand up for themselves, because many people hate conflict & feel that there will be conflict if they stand up for themselves. Standing up for yourself is something that will come in time & once you learn how to do it, most people will respect you for doing so. Just remember: If you don't stand up for yourself, who will? Hang in there!!!

Maybe the reason that you feel this way is because you are just a genuinely nice person (and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that). People anymore are just plan rude and caddy. Just knowing that should make you a stronger person than them.

start small, when someone asks for somethign , and you don't want to do, say no!! They say people who don't stand up for themselves are selfish, cause they don't want people to hate them. If people get mad at you over this then it should tell you something about them! just get mad and let lose! scream and yell if you have to. you have rights and you are a human being so stand strong!

You sound like you have no self esteem. Do things to regain your self confidence... such as going to the gym or maybe speak to a counselor. SOunds like there are underlying issues here.

Chose how you want to be. Repeat in your mind a self-confidence sentece. Think like you can take them or the world on, be smug but know your limit.
