Sometimes we have a tendency to let others violate our boundaries because we cave into what they want us to do, rather than what we want to do... so I think being to stick up for ourselves is something that requires a healthy dose of self esteem.

thanks Peppermint, this helps me realise how people have treated me...and how I haven't stood up for myself...like standing up to my parents, friends, teachers, managers...this really helps...thanks again
