You don't voice your opinions or do that thing that you always wanted to do. You come up with these excuses, like I don't have the time or I will do it next week. Stop! I was too once in your shoes and I have my fair of scuffs and bruises but I learned that we stop ourselves because we are afraid of what others will think of us.
You didn't buy that cute sun dress because your "friend" said it was ugly. (cough cough...hater!) If you think it's your style, then buy it! Once people realize that they can talk you out of things than they continue to do it.
For me, I was the timid type growing up and it stuck with me for awhile. I let people talk over like I didn't exist. Then one day I had enough. I stopped letting it go. I spoke up. I raised my hands in class. Call me a nerd if you want but I'm getting mine! (my degree) I voice my opinion and with every day, I feel more and more confidant in who I am and what I have to offer.
So speak up, take a stand and if people say you changed, just say: "Yes, yes I have."
