so i always used to have a strong personality, and i was really strong willed, but this past year i've lost myself. people walk all over me, my friends my family - even my boyfriend who is usually a pushover is always walking all over me. i tried finally talking to him and he acted like he was listening, then two minutes later he acted like nothing ever happened and went back to normal. i don't want to fight so i didn't say anything but it really bothers me that he didn't take me being upset seriously.
i feel like everybody is always laughing at me, and they walk all over me. i don't like to fight but nobody listens when i say something. im tired of being a joke what can i do without causing drama? (link)

It might sound chicken of me to say but it has worked for me; don't ask for opinions, don't ask for help, don't share good news or bad news, don't talk about things that get you pushed around, exclude people that push you around from the equation of what you are doing. Example: if you ask your boyfriend what he wants to do for valentine's he will let you down but if you tell him what you want (not ask) he will do it. If you ask someone if you should cut your hair they will think they own your life, so just do it. It might make you feel lonely but it will make these people listen when you do talk about things.
