How do I be tough...Or at least not so helpless?

Question

People take advantage of my easy intimidation. What should I do? Even my friends do this!

And it would help if your advice would make me seem pyscho. ;)

Thanks!

They hurt me somtimes. So I am worried about that.

Answer 1

your not as weak as you think you are even the helpless when pushed hard enough come out swinging...I would use your writing as motivation, there is a lot of anger in there, so next time someone walks on you push it all forward and out....you might not stay friends but oh well....true friends don't play on your weaknesses anyway....

Answer 2

Mixed Martial Arts. Once you have that down, you will not be such a pushover. People knowing that messing with you may result in an elbow or knee to the face will make them be much more respectful towards you. And if they arent, leg kicks and then take them down and make them submit with some vicious ground and pound.

Answer 3

sometimes if you look at a situation and think of whats the worst that can happen?
if someone is taking advantage of you and you're not liking it , you want to speak up,think to yourself, whats the worst that can happen if I do?
They will probably respect you for it.
