Do you feel people take advantage of you?

I don’t seem to be able to be assertive with people.

The problem is that I don’t have enough social interactions to learn and adapt my behaviour. And the unusual situations I have them, I end up becoming completely tame to what others want.

For example; last time I was at the gym, a guy was at the squat rack. I asked him how long will he take there, and he just answered me "a lot ". Knowing that it’s the only rack there, he proceeded to do all sort of exercises (except squatting, which he just finished) there. I waited for 30 minutes there without saying a word, and, at the end I helped him to unload the weight.

I felt like a total idiot after that. I know it’s no big deal, but this micro situations happen to me a lot, like I don’t know how to defend my rights.

I used to be more assertive pre sz, post sz I don’t know how to behave. It has to do with isolation, partially.

I set boundaries. I only give what I comfortably can give and to the extend that it’s sustainable long term.

Some People treat me with disrespect and some suppress me and it makes me feel uncomfortable around them.

It’s unbearable for me to be around some people because of the way they look at me and treat me.
It’s horrible.

It makes me feel lonely and wonder where are my people.

What I think is what i believe and the results to my surroundings.
