I think I have an assertiveness problem and a really huge one. I mean I think all my life I’ve been letting push me around and take advantage of me a little bit. I think it goes back to when I was 5 and this little girl named Mesha used to always beat me up (not violently), but when we playing around at a friend’s house and never did anything about it because she was a girl. I think ever since that day, I tried to live things down and try to go the other way. But obviously this does not empower me. This semester I bought an essay online and never received; I think I should have never done this in the first place. People also have a habit of being nice originally and then turning rude and angry and taking advantage of me later. Maybe I have a way of being abused. All I do is that I my dad does not want me to really hang around me, because he thinks people might take advantage of me. And for all I know it could be right. Or perhaps I take advantage of myself trying to put up with **** and trying to recover it. I do not know. What do you think I should do to increase my assertiveness and fear of hurting people. Immediately

It sounds like your dad might be at the root of your self-esteem problem.
Talk to a counselor or therapist. It doesn’t go away overnight.
