@MarieAngell, I don’t know if I can. I’ve tried for years yet continually get walked on by sales people, friends and family. Sometimes it’s because I have a hard time saying no, but a lot of times I do say no and I’m just ignored. People don’t ignore my b-in-law. I’ve been told my whole life I need to “toughen up” and “quit being so sensitive” (and my favorite, “You’re just too nice), but I don’t know how, or if I really want to change. I like that I’m a nice person. But the end result is that I get taken advantage of a lot. I’m learning to call him when I feel like I’m being pushed into something, but my sister and he haven’t always been so supportive, so I don’t think I trust this new, “call me anytime” attitude. It is lovely when someone stands up for you though. 🙂
