I let people walk all over me throughout my existence

Ever since I was adopted that family was very abusive and carried into middle school and highschool. I got bullied so bad I never graduated , people would bully me for everything and anything . I had a girl send me a message saying she missed being friends but I grew angry because she sat next to me and never said anything when people would bother me . I never wrote her back. I want to make myself stronger in every way so this cycle doesn’t carry on . I won’t allow myself to be bullied anymore or laughed at.. it’s hard learning everything to make yourself not vulnerable.. any advice?

Respect yourself. That's where it starts. You don't put up with bad behaviour from people close to you - it [b]puts a value on yourself that others learn[/b]. It starts to change their behaviour. If a guy treats you badly you don't ignore it. Boundaries. You don't sulk or whine or rage - you simply make it clear, gently, quietly, that this isn't acceptable. He learns if he doesn't treat you as someone with value, you'll leave. It changes the way people treat you and the way you feel about yourself and that starts to shine through. All the women in my life including my daughter have this.

@Abstraction iv learned that now being a 28 year old , I’m still learning boundaries. The abuse I went through it’s been so hard to understand everything all at once I’m just understanding now. I wish someone really taught me that

@Abstraction I agree with everything that you said and I’m glad you said it , something to really think about
