Why I Hate Being Told to “Be Harder” or “Stop Letting People Walk All Over You

Hi, I’m Elaine Blidgeon and I’m a Mindset Achievement coach who helps recovering people pleasers master assertiveness and take control of their lives. Over the years, I’ve worked with countless people stuck in the cycle of saying “yes” to everyone else while their own needs go ignored.

But here’s the thing: though I now believe assertiveness is the KEY to building healthier relationships and thriving personally and professionally…

…I used to DESPISE the idea of “being harder” or “standing up for myself.”

You see, I spent years putting others first because I thought it was the right thing to do. Asking for what I wanted felt uncomfortable, and trying to “toughen up” felt unnatural—like I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t.

And whenever someone told me to “stop letting the idiots get to you” or “just be more forceful,” it didn’t feel helpful. It felt dismissive—like they didn’t understand how much harder it was for someone like me to suddenly become the opposite of who I’d always been.

To make matters worse, most advice on assertiveness seemed designed for people who were naturally bold and confident. What about those of us starting from scratch? Where could WE turn?

So I started looking for a better way…

…And I kept running into advice that felt pushy, overly confrontational, or just plain wrong for someone who wanted to be kind and confident.

Manipulation? Aggression? Battle? No Thanks.

What people actually said to me—and what the books and trainings I read implied—was that I needed to “toughen up.” They told me I had to be different from who I was. They made it seem like if I didn’t get in first—if I didn’t assert control—others would, and I’d lose every time.

It felt like they were describing a battle—a battle of wills, a fight against the bad, with me as the “good” who needed to conquer the “bad.”

But deep down, I knew this wasn’t me.

“I’m afraid this will create conflict with my loved ones or colleagues.”

You’ll learn how to handle pushback gracefully and even strengthen relationships through assertive communication

Even worse, they never prepared me for the pushback I got when I tried their tactics. The moment I stepped into the world of aggressive strategies, I found myself dealing with resistance, defensiveness, or outright rejection. And, none of their advice taught me how to handle that.

I realised I didn’t want to “win” every interaction or “control” other people. I just wanted to express myself, set boundaries, and maintain relationships that felt fair and balanced—without losing myself in the process.

That’s when I knew there had to be a better way.

Plus, Those Tactics Weren’t Working for Me… or Anyone Like Me.

Stepping back for a second, the truth is, those strategies I read about—being tougher, more aggressive, and trying to control every situation—just didn’t work.

Why?

Because they weren’t designed for someone like me. And honestly, people don’t respond well to tactics that feel combative or manipulative.

When I tried them, I got pushback, frustration, or worse—people simply ignored me. And I realised I wasn’t alone.

I’d hear others share their own struggles: “I tried to stand my ground, but it just made things worse,” or “I felt more uncomfortable than ever, and it didn’t even work.”

That was my iron-clad proof that this “just be harder” advice wasn’t the answer.

So, I Had a Decision to Make…

. “I’m worried this will make me come across as rude or unkind.”

 Connection-Centred Assertiveness ensures your boundaries are communicated with empathy and respect.

On the one hand, I didn’t want to become someone I wasn’t—tough, aggressive, or manipulative.

On the other hand, I knew I couldn’t keep avoiding difficult conversations, setting boundaries, or standing up for myself.

Why did I know this?

BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE WALKING ALL OVER ME.

And it made NO sense. I was trying so hard to do everything right—to be kind, understanding, and accommodating. But instead of earning respect, I was just used.   I felt invisible and frustrated.

They Said the Same 3 Things Over and Over (And That’s Why I Knew Something Had to Change)

People would tell me how much they appreciated me, how helpful I was, and how I made their lives easier. But when I finally stood up for myself—whether by setting a boundary, asking for support, or expressing my needs—I’d hear the same responses, again and again:

“I wish I could help, but I just don’t have the time.”

“That’s not something I can do, but good luck with it.”

“I’ll get to it later, just not today.”

Sound familiar?

At first, I blamed them. I’d vent to my friends, saying, “They just don’t get it. They’re only taking advantage of me!”

And my friends would agree, “Yeah, you’re too good for them anyway!”

But deep down, I knew this wasn’t the whole truth.

I knew these people could respect my boundaries, support me, and take my needs seriously if I knew how to tell them in the right way. (after all there were no people pleasers who were living exactly like that)

That’s when I uncovered the truth about assertiveness: there were 5 big myths holding me back, and they just weren’t true.

“What if I learn this but still can’t follow through?”
You’ll practice real-world scenarios and get actionable steps to ensure these skills stick.

Phase 1: The Foundation
Before You Think About Being Assertive, Do This…

There are three types of people you’ll encounter when you start setting boundaries: those who instantly respect them, those who instantly reject them, and the sideliners—the ones who aren’t sure how to react.

The only way you’ll get the sideliners to take you seriously is by showing them that you’re clear, consistent, and confident—and that your boundaries aren’t just spur-of-the-moment whims.

That’s why, before you dive into difficult conversations, you need to do some foundational work. This preparation will help you build credibility, demonstrate your seriousness, and make people respect your boundaries even before you explicitly state them.

But here’s the key: preparation isn’t just about rehearsing what you’re going to say. If you prepare the wrong way, you’ll either come across as too aggressive—or worse, people might brush off your boundaries entirely.

“I’m afraid this will create conflict with my loved ones or colleagues.”

 You’ll learn how to handle pushback gracefully and even strengthen relationships through assertive communication.

Most advice on setting boundaries skips this step entirely, leaving you to “wing it” and figure it out on the spot. But that’s a HUGE mistake. First, most people don’t know how to establish boundaries effectively without coming off as confrontational. And second, they don’t know how to handle the inevitable pushback—making it easy to cave when things get tough.

Instead, this foundation phase follows a clear, step-by-step process. You’ll learn how to get clear on your needs, anticipate resistance, and set the stage for success before you even have the conversation.

Why is this important? Because if you approach the situation unprepared, you might send mixed signals, lose confidence in yourself, or make it harder for others to take you seriously. But if you prepare the right way, you’ll maximise your chances of being heard and respected—and leave no room for misunderstanding.

Phase 2: The Boundary
This Is How to Set Boundaries That Stick (Without Feeling Pushy or Aggressive)

Long story short, “The Boundary” is when you clearly express what you need and expect from others. Maybe it’s saying “no” to a request, stating what you’re comfortable with, or clarifying how you’d like to be treated. Whatever the scenario, this is the moment where you take a stand for yourself.

Most people MESS THIS UP. How do you know if you’re one of them? Here’s a litmus test: if people constantly ignore your boundaries, argue against them, or push you into compromising, chances are, you’re struggling with “The Boundary.”

When you communicate a boundary, you must do this with confidence. If you’re hesitant or unclear, people will sense that hesitation and assume your boundary isn’t serious—or worse, they’ll think they can push you to change it.

But when you use my proven assertiveness system, you’ll know exactly how to state your boundaries with clarity and conviction—and others will naturally take them more seriously. Of course, you’ll need to IMPLEMENT THIS, but here’s a quick example of how it works in action…

Phase 3: The Respectful Follow-Through
Most People Skip This – And It’s a Shame
Do This to Build Lasting Relationships and Gain Long-Term Respect

There are three types of people you’ll encounter when you start setting boundaries: those who instantly respect them, those who instantly reject them, and the sideliners—the ones who aren’t sure how to react.

The only way you’ll get the sideliners to take you seriously is by showing them that you’re clear, consistent, and confident—and that your boundaries aren’t just spur-of-the-moment whims.

That’s why, before you dive into difficult conversations, you need to do some foundational work. This preparation will help you build credibility, demonstrate your seriousness, and make people respect your boundaries even before you explicitly state them.

But here’s the key: preparation isn’t just about rehearsing what you’re going to say. If you prepare the wrong way, you’ll either come across as too aggressive—or worse, people might brush off your boundaries entirely.

Most advice on setting boundaries skips this step entirely, leaving you to “wing it” and figure it out on the spot. But that’s a HUGE mistake. First, most people don’t know how to establish boundaries effectively without coming off as confrontational. And second, they don’t know how to handle the inevitable pushback—making it easy to cave when things get tough.

Instead, this foundation phase follows a clear, step-by-step process. You’ll learn how to get clear on your needs, anticipate resistance, and set the stage for success before you even have the conversation.

Why is this important? Because if you approach the situation unprepared, you might send mixed signals, lose confidence in yourself, or make it harder for others to take you seriously. But if you prepare the right way, you’ll maximise your chances of being heard and respected—and leave no room for misunderstanding.

But I Have a Word of Warning…

If you think that by simply joining Assertiveness Mastery for People Pleasers, you’ll magically transform overnight into someone who can set boundaries effortlessly, stand up to everyone, and never feel guilty again—you’re kidding yourself.

Here’s the reality: change takes time, effort, and practice. If you’re not ready to put in the work, this program isn’t for you.

I’m being honest because I want you to succeed, but that means you have to show up and take action. If that doesn’t sound like something you’re willing to do, I recommend stepping back until you’re ready to fully commit.

In fact, there are a few reasons why you shouldn’t join this program:

• If you’re looking for a quick fix or instant results. Assertiveness is a skill that builds over time. This program will give you the tools and guidance you need, but you’ll need to practice and implement what you learn consistently. If you’re looking for a shortcut, this isn’t it.

• If you’re not willing to take action. I’ll provide you with step-by-step techniques and proven strategies to help you set boundaries, say no, and communicate with confidence. But here’s the truth: I can’t do the work for you. If you’re not ready to actively engage and apply what you learn, this program isn’t for you.

• If you’re unwilling to embrace change. If you’ve been stuck in people-pleasing habits for years, breaking free will require you to try new approaches and adopt a different mindset. If you’re resistant to change or unwilling to challenge yourself, this program won’t be effective for you.

But if you’re ready to show up, do the work, and take the first steps toward becoming a more confident, assertive version of yourself, this program can truly change your life. I’m here to guide you every step of the way—but the effort has to come from you.

So, if you’re ready to commit to this journey and invest in your growth, I look forward to working with you. Let’s make this transformation happen together.

That Said…

There are so many reasons why you should join Assertiveness Mastery for People Pleasers.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish there were a way to stop feeling guilty about standing up for myself,” or, “I want to set boundaries without feeling like I’m letting people down,” then I designed this program with YOU in mind.

When I’ve worked with clients in the past, I’ve heard the same struggles over and over:

• “I’m always the one picking up the slack, but when I ask for help, no one listens.”

• “I don’t know how to communicate my needs without upsetting people.”

This isn’t a random collection of ideas or strategies; it’s a comprehensive system designed to guide you from feeling stuck in people-pleasing to confidently taking control of your life.

So, if you can say “yes” to any of the following questions, this program is PERFECT for you:

• Do you struggle with saying “no” without feeling guilty?

• Do you feel overlooked, undervalued, or taken advantage of—at work or at home?

• Are you tired of putting others’ needs ahead of your own, but you don’t know how to stop?

• Do you want to build healthier relationships while staying true to yourself?

If any of these resonate with you, then you’re exactly who I created this program for.

But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what others have said about working with me:

Matt Love
“Working with Elaine has been very eye-opening for me. I was very surprised how effective one session could be—it brought so much awareness to the root cause of so many things happening in my life. That awareness enabled me to identify where I was still judging myself… I learned that it was a very old belief, and it’s not true in any way. It helped me really move forward. Since that day, I’ve made better decisions.”

Lola Bailey
“So there was a problem I had before the mastermind. It was this fear of not getting things done—not procrastination, but this mindset of ‘I’m never going to get it done.’ It was really weird. During the laser coaching you did, the problem literally disappeared. It was like magic. I haven’t thought about it since—not once. It was almost like a miracle.”

Nicole Wyrwa
“I approached Elaine because I found myself stuck in my thinking and unable to focus on a future project I wanted to develop. With her great listening skills and her unique way of asking questions, she helped me see the reason for my struggle. Her coaching style is straightforward, honest, and direct but full of empathy, humour, and warmth. Not only did she help me identify the root cause of my struggle, but she also helped me rediscover my determination. Now, I’m able to follow my vision and move forward with confidence.”

This is your opportunity to finally break free from the cycle of people-pleasing, reclaim your confidence, and build a life where your needs and voice are respected.

Let’s do this together.

Absolutely. This program is specifically designed for people who feel stuck in the cycle of people-pleasing, whether you’ve been struggling for months or your entire life. Each module is structured to address the key challenges people pleasers face, from understanding why you feel compelled to say “yes” all the time, to learning how to confidently communicate your needs and set boundaries without guilt.

“What if I’m not good at being assertive at all? Can I still succeed in this program?”
Of course! Many participants come into this program feeling unsure or even intimidated by the idea of assertiveness. That’s why we start with the basics—understanding what assertiveness truly is and how to begin practicing it in small, manageable steps. By the end of the program, you’ll have a solid foundation to build on and the confidence to tackle even the toughest situations.

“How much time will I need to commit each week?”
This is a live group coaching program with bi-weekly sessions, so I recommend setting aside 1-2 hours each for the live session and additional time to practice the techniques we cover. Ideally, you’ll spend about 3 hours per week between attending the session, reviewing materials, and practicing your new skills. That said, the beauty of this program is that you can move at your own pace and revisit concepts as often as you need.

“Will this program work for professional situations, or is it only for personal life?”
This program is designed to help you in both personal and professional contexts. Whether you’re advocating for yourself at work, managing requests from family and friends, or setting boundaries in your relationships, the tools and strategies you’ll learn are highly adaptable to any situation.

“I tend to feel guilty when I say no. Will this program help with that?”
Yes! Guilt is one of the biggest challenges people pleasers face, and we address it head-on. In Module 4, you’ll learn how to reframe guilt, understand why it’s a natural response, and develop strategies to move past it while staying true to your values.

“What if I try to set boundaries and people push back?”
Pushback is a common concern, and this program prepares you for it. In Module 5, we’ll cover how to handle difficult conversations, manage conflict, and respond to manipulation or resistance with confidence and grace. You’ll also learn techniques to stay calm under pressure and reinforce your boundaries effectively.

“How is this program structured?”
Connection Centred Assertiveness for People Pleasers is a 7-module, live group coaching program. Each session, we’ll cover a specific topic, such as understanding people-pleasing, handling difficult conversations, and building emotional resilience. You’ll attend live sessions where I’ll guide you step-by-step through the material, answer your questions, and help you apply what you’ve learned.

“What if I miss a live session?”
Don’t worry! All live sessions will be recorded and made available to you, so you can catch up on any material you miss.

“Is this program interactive?”
Yes! This program is highly interactive. During live sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, practice techniques, and receive personalised guidance. You’ll also complete actionable exercises each week to help you apply what you’ve learned in real-life situations.

“I’m nervous about starting something like this. Is that normal?”
Yes, it’s completely normal! Taking the first step toward change can feel intimidating, but this program is designed to be a safe and supportive space for you to grow. Many participants have shared that they felt the same way at first but quickly gained confidence as they saw the impact of the tools and techniques in their lives.

“How do I know if this program is right for me?”
This program is perfect for you if you:

• Struggle with saying no without feeling guilty.
• Feel like others often take advantage of your kindness.
• Want to set boundaries and communicate effectively in both personal and professional settings.
• Are ready to stop putting others’ needs ahead of your own and start living life on your terms.
