Makes  it hard to show vulnerability or ask for help. Because of 

·    fear of rejection

2.    you make decisions without second-guessing .

3.    When you’re  Assertive  you can  expressyour needs and wants in a respectful way.

4.     Together,  you navigate life at home, at work, or in social situations.

Action Steps:

1.    Get to know yourself 

Focus on your strengths. 

Write them down. 

Or ask someone you trust. 

2.    Practice good self-talk

  "I can do this."

"I feel unheard when my suggestions are ignored."
