How can I assert myself better in conversations?

Asserting yourself involves expressing your thoughts and feelings confidently. What specific situations do you find challenging?

I often feel overlooked in group discussions.

Try to speak up early in the conversation. You can also use phrases like 'I believe' or 'I feel' to express your views.

What if someone interrupts me?

It's okay to politely interrupt back. You can say, 'I’d like to finish my point, please.' This shows confidence.

Thanks! Any tips for practicing this?

Practice in low-stakes environments, like with friends or family. Role-playing can also help build your confidence.
