I always get so mad at myself after I admire ppl who stand firm on their boundaries 😭😭 it’s just hard for me for some reason

And I can’t stress this enough, learn to say no and stick with it. It’s not a harmful or bad word. Don’t let yourself get pushed around, stand on your words. Confidence is huge. I am saying this as a former people pleaser. The more confidence i have in myself, the less I put peoples feelings above mine at my own expense. I did it for validation and to “be liked” when it really just meant people used me.

It is a super hard habit (for lack of better word) to get out of and I do still find myself doing it occasionally but I’ve found ways to catch myself and stop. The easiest part to stick with is learn your boundaries. You control your words and actions, you can’t control everyone else’s. Communicate effectively is a good one for it too. “I don’t think that’s in my best interest but I hope you find someone who does want this” (or whatever the case is)
