Being a push over diminishes your character as a person. I started my assertive journey and I’m loosing relationships, yet I do feel more peaceful. This is inspiring me to continue what I have been doing :)

Assertiveness prevents being bullied in life. Great advice you shared.
-
I really liked what you said "you are tired of being invisible. you wanne be valued. you want people to recognise you" and "I knew that if I wanted to be treated differently I needed to set new boundaries". Honestly i thought it was other people's fault that i was not value but i was not valued because i did not value myself and did not demand to be valued. I wish ofcourse that people should value others not matter how much self worth they have but they generally don't!!! If you do not respect yourself they do not respect you that much unfortunately you have to claim that. Life is a struggle...

Good to be assertive do the work in the right way or in a proper direction even you are pressurise by certain people if you are doing job under a heavy pressure or under some type worries then you could not able to do focus on that so first of all you have to set your boundaries then make sure your work is neither tough not easy for you and when you are busy in your work always focus on your goal after setting the boundaries of you try to do all task even it is out of your boundaries the you could not do the task even your own so be passionate and do the work in a good way .
