How I make everyone stop seeing me as some pushover?

I'm starting to think I have to be less friendly and stop smiling so much. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Even the people I always see as my closest friends seem to take advantage of me a lot. And I feel like I just let it happen because it doesn't affect me much.

@bijouxbroussard yes, in real life I tend to take a lot from people because conflict stresses me out. I also don't want to show I'm angry and then blow things out of proportion

@rickfreeman15 Ah, I understand. Being able to say “sorry, no” when you’re not angry will often stop things from escalating to the point that you’re feeling frustrated and used. Nip things in the bud, so to speak. 🙂
