Are You A Nice Girl…Or A Pushover?

1. Speak Up

If you feel you’ve been wronged, or that someone is taking advantage of you, speak up! Some of us don’t like confrontation, which is completely understandable. But don’t be afraid to tell someone how you feel or how they hurt you because you’re afraid they’ll be angry or won’t like you anymore. If the relationship is a cherished one, the other person will listen and validate your feelings.

So tell your girlfriend how you feel when she spreads your business. Tell your man that you feel taken for granted when he cancels plans with you at the last-minute to go hang with his boys. People treat you how you allow them to treat you, so by not speaking up, you’re part of the problem and you have no one to blame but yourself. By expressing your feelings calmly, but assertively, you’ll gradually train those around you to treat you with respect.
