Speaking Up For Yourself Makes You Uncomfortable
This is something we learn in elementary school, if you don’t stand up for yourself people will continue to run over you because you allow them to. Not everyone deals with confrontation well and that’s understandable, but at some point you have to speak up for yourself to command your respect.
The next time you feel like you’re not being heard, interject and make them hear you. You cannot tip-toe around it because it won’t be taken seriously. If it takes raising your voice and speaking in a way that is out of the norm for you, then so be it.
