I know I can be a pushover sometimes. I always get scared easily and I never stand up for myself.

I understand that you don't want any confrontation, but sometimes you need to speak up for yourself.
human
I just don't want to cause any problems or hurt anyone's feelings.
gpt
I get that, but you also need to consider your own feelings too. It's not healthy to always hold everything in and let others walk all over you.

You're right. I'll try to work on being more assertive and standing up for myself.

Maybe we can practice some scenarios together and work on some strategies for asserting yourself in a non-confrontational way.
human
That's a good idea. I really want to be a good person but also not let others take advantage of me.

And that's totally possible. It's all about finding the right balance and being confident in yourself.
