I’m 18M. Going to University after 2 months. I have been a type of person who has been a people pleaser, i’m not afraid to admit that. It is because of this people took advantage of me and I couldn’t stand up for myself. I feel the need to turn my life around and sort of reinvent myself. I need desperate help to set boundaries. If someone can help me with these it will genuinely be appreciated because I don’t want my life in university to turn out like my high school.

  1. When someone constantly insults u in the friend group.How do you stand up for yourself and how do you cut them off. The cutting off part has been difficult for me as I didn’t have any other “friends”
  2. When someone asks you to do something for them and you don’t wanna do it. How do I say no. Suppose this work takes a lot of time and energy or little energy. Whatever my question is “how to say no”
  3. When someone wants you to stay on call for a long time and you are either tired or just don’t wanna talk anymore. Even in real life situations. How to leave the conversation? Overall my question is how to set boundaries. submitted by /u/Such-Hospital6368
