Discuss Bogo's answer to: How can I keep the peace and stop people pleasing?

I tend to avoid confrontation and am forever worrying about everyone else. A classic people pleaser. How can I be more assertive?

Penelope, I am the same way, and It's not because I am seeking validation, it's because I am just too nice.  I do have feelings of steel, but I worry about hurting other people feelings.  I bite my tongue a lot to avoid confrontations, but at the same time, I do not allow people to walk over me... Sometimes you do have to speak up too let people know that you are not a push over, and stop worrying about other peoples feelings because most of the time... they are not worrying about yours....Wink
