Women are often taught assertive means bitch and/or unhinged. How easy do you find being assertive? Has this changed through your life?

    Its very difficult, I have been beaten down my entire life. My entire life ive been told that I am awful and disgusting, every person in my childhood who was supposed to “protect” me did very little more than enforce their idea of me. Every time I try to enforce my own idea of myself im called unhinged. Now I just feel empty and depressed.
