Honestly you just have to work on general self confidence. For me it’s like “No, I’m gonna say how I feel because I don’t deserve to be hurt or disrespected.” It’s also an issue of nothing will happen if you don’t speak up for yourself, it doesn’t only harm you. If you don’t voice your boundaries then ppl will not know they are crossing them. That typically leads to resentment on the fawner’s part and then a snapping point, leaving the other person confused and also frustrated.
