Regardless of what type of relationship you’re in: familial, friend, or romantic, it’s important to speak up and communicate your thoughts and feelings right away. Never assume the other person knows what they’ve said or done to cross your boundaries.
What you shouldn’t do is hold your tongue for the sake of upholding the peace between you and them. You’re going to resent them and yourself for not speaking up.
You don’t want to bottle up everything for days, weeks, and months, only to explode on that person when you’ve reached your max tolerance.
Don’t wait to speak your mind. As soon as something you don’t like occurs or you just have a desire for a certain outcome, you must communicate it to that person. Don’t be afraid to rock the boat. If the person has a problem with you enforcing your boundaries or your wishes, then that person is not for you, anyway.
Communicating your thoughts and feelings as the healthiest thing you can do for your relationships and for your own mental health. So get over your fear of upsetting the other person. Better them than you! Oh, and this applies to strangers too.
Be unapologetic and authentically you. If they don’t like it, their loss, not yours. You need to take care of you first and foremost. And you need to protect your inner peace.
PS if you don't speak up, your confidence & self-esteem are going to suffer

that can be hard for some people when their feelings never mattered. I learned over the years to say what is needed for me. then i get over it. you just need to do what is right for you. i dont comment alot with anyone. have no idea why with you. hope you have a good day.
Great
