Trust your instincts, if what the person is saying to you or asking you to do does not feel right, it mostly is not at least for you. You do not have to be loud or mean. Stand straight, look them in the eye, calmly and firmly and with confidence (even if you don’t feel it yet) that you are right, say "no” or "stop" or whatever the case may be. Practice with a trusted family member and trusted friends or even in front of a mirror.
It will not be easy at first and will feel uncomfortable but it does get better the more you put it into practice.

You just have to DO it. It gets easier the more you do it. Figure out why you don't stand up for yourself in the first place. There could be many reasons, but it helps if you know first. Then you can go from there. You also have to know that you are worth standing up for, and if people are walking all over you, it will hurt you in the end. That doesn't mean you have to be rude or tactless. But you do owe it to yourself to be truthful with others.

many people may take your kindness 4 granted,which is real messed up, but all u have 2 do IS stand up 4 yourself, let people know u r human and deserve respect just like everybody else.Show them u r serious and don't let the puppy face fool u. If u show people fear they walk all over u, let them know u about business and u r for real about everything u set out 2 do in life...If that don't work KICK THEY A**!:)

You need to stand up for yourself and be the person who you are and never butter up when confronted by anyone. Weakness will destroy you by kindness. It is best to be strong in all your affairs and worry about nothing.
Ecen when it comes to meeting ladies at a bar, I hit them head on like a Mac truck and show them who's boss right away.
A Man that is dominant to a woman at times makes a woman feel more secure that you can handle yoursaelf and anything else that comes your way like a Man should and by all mean show alittle respect as well. you'll go far.

Firstly, determine what it is you want in a situation. Then ask for it very clearly and decisively.
For instance, if you're at a store and the bread rings up to higher than you thought it would be, or what you saw on the shelf... stick up for yourself by demanding to get that price. Don't be a dick about it to the clerk, but start with little things like that.

Well i think that those "people" are right you should stand up for your self because you don't want to end up as the guy who everyone puts down you want to be self confident and tell them "hey I'm ------- and I'm proud of it". You should be respected by others I'm not saying go kick that guys *** but just make it clear to them that you are human too. (if words don't work there's always the hard way)

I have the same problem. But you know what, you can only be you. If you are not comfortable with confrontation or complaining to people don't worry about it. If it needs to happen you will eventually get fed up and stick up for yourself on your own, without people telling you to.

Look in the mirror know you are a worthy person and when people try to walk all over you remember that image of you in the mirror being worthy and pull your shoulders back and don't take anyones crap.

nothing worse than regret,you should stick up for yourself so there is no regrets later even if it means throwing down,the worst that could happen is a beat down but if that happens it will just make you tougher and you will realize that it hurts the pride more than the body.losing battles physical or non is what toughens a tough person. so suck it up and run your mouth
