Why can I stand up for others but not myself?

This is normal, because you love those people and they mean a lot to you so try to stand up for yourself and your friends at the same time but remember that this requires patience and time

You can stand up for others because you care about them and willing to take a stand and when you are getting help your not willing to speak up and ask with confidence at times.

Its a case of low self esteem. WE consider ourselves less worthy. Or maybe we like being the damsels in distress.

It's easier to stand up for others because you believe the person you're standing up for, but not the other person. There's also more than one person backing up facts, not just you. It's hard to stand up for yourself because you feel as if you're being pressured, so you get overwhelmed and it's hard to deal with. If you're alone when standing up for yourself, that is.

standing up for yourself can be harder than standing up for other people typically. when you have to stand up for yourself you typically felt upset and there was something that was going wrong. when you stand up for someone it's much easier to be able to stand up for someone else than feel scared of what may happen and feel upset in the current moment. knowing that you will have to eventually stand up for yourself is important because things aren't going to always go as planned and people are going to try to do things you don't want. that's why it's important to learn how to.
