Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to express yourself, stand up for yourself, say something but instead you said nothing, or you timidly agreed to something you wished you had not.

As I am a people pleaser, I am always trying to say what people want to hear but lately I wish I had not been a doormat, I wished I had said something that would show me as a strong confident person not a person without a voice.

My problem is if I do speak up, I worry that it may sound cynical or patronising.

I am wondering if you too have been in a situation, anything at all from family to friends, sales assistants to plumbers, or any time you wished you had said something or something different.

Please share how you felt when you didn’t speak up or maybe this time you did. Let us know that went.
