Get comfortable expressing your boundaries. Say “No”, say “this makes me uncomfortable,” say “I’m not interested,” say “I need.” You have to advocate for yourself. You should not sit and be silently mad at people because they have crossed boundaries you never expressed.
Your boundaries and your needs and your desires are a reflection of who you are and your character. If you feel like no one really knows you, consider it may be because you haven’t told people who you are. Find effective ways to communicate who you are to people who matter.
