Standing up for yourself doesn’t make you argumentative. Sharing your feelings doesn’t make you oversensitive. And saying no doesn’t make you uncaring or selfish. If someone won’t respect your feelings, needs and boundaries, the problem isn’t you; it’s them.

What I learned from many years of coaching/therapy/spiritual healing is that drawing and maintaining boundaries can be quite a challenge, if our family of origin did not model healthy skills. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
