It may be because you have low confidence and self-esteem. If you have been through difficult times this could be why. Just try and believe in yourself and remember you don't deserve to be treated negatively.

Sometimes we feel guilty or selfish when standing up for ourselves, because we care about the people around us and don't want to hurt their feelings. Personally, I have experienced this type of guilt around standing up for myself, so know that you are not alone in feeling this way. It may be helpful to ask yourself why you are feeling this way. It could also be that you don't feel worthy of being stood up for. Only you know the truth of why you feel the way you do, and only you can find it. Sitting with difficult emotions and feelings will help you learn how to overcome them!
