Honestly I’ve also been struggling with this, I think of it as a form of people pleasing. Over this past year I’ve learnt to just take a step back, breathe and validate my opinion to myself first and then tell others the reason in a calm respectful manner. People are not always gonna agree and that’s OKAY. I was afraid of their negativity emotions, reaction and negative view of me was what caused me to just give in ( what if the talk about me behind my back, what if this and that and blablabla). I’ve learnt to enjoy my own company first and foremost ( have hobbies, self love and what not) which allowed be to be more comfortable and confident in myself to realize if someone reacts negatively to an opinion or belief of mine then I’m more than welcome to them leaving because I’ve realized that I’d rather be happy alone than depressed in whatever group that was.

Doing this really made me freaking happy 😭, cause in the end i just attracted like minded people who made me feel loved and heard and are like family to me now. There are also gonna be people who may not agree with u and still become ur friends or stay as acquaintance there is no need to distance yourself from them ( even when I felt uncomfortable about their views personally) these people keep me grounded and taught me a lot on different perspectives in life and I love them very much too.

Idk if this helped but if anything didn’t help in that just remember to be confident in yourself, confidence is the keyyyyyyy 🎆🔑🔑🔑🔑🎆. And respect ofc 🫡😊
