- Have confidence
It's easy for others to target you when you are lacking in self-confidence.
Confidence has to come from within, so do whatever it takes to make you feel better about yourself.
2. Be assertive
You express your wants, needs, while respecting the other person. Use “I”, rather than “you”.
For eg. “You never ask for my opinion ”, say it like.. “I feel ignored when you make decisions without me”.
3. Learn to say No
If you tend to be a “yes” person who never wants to let anyone down, you risk becoming a door-mat who everyone walks all over and takes advantage of.
Don't put someone else's needs above your own-learn to say no when necessary.
4. Speak up
Sometimes you may fail, because you cannot articulate what needs to be said at the right moment. So, practice standing up for yourself.
Sometimes it's not good to ignore or be okay with anything said to you, they will repeat it until you take a stand and speak.
