You have to become more assertive in your life and work.
How would you do that?

Manipulation is characterized as "the act of manipulating somebody into an ideal behavior to accomplish a shrouded individual goal". Regularly, we don’t have any acquaintance with its transpiring as manipulative individuals can be unpretentious. Likewise, the nearness of feelings, for example, love, reliability and trust can mean we don’t see the truth of other individuals’ concealed plans. It’s anything but difficult to be attracted.

Have you ever wanted to be more confident or love your imperfections? Our self-esteem ends up determining who we are and how we approach life. Hence, you cannot turn a blind eye to your low self-esteem. The feelings you possess about yourself have the capability to not only affect you, but also others in the process. When your self-esteem and confidence levels are low, you will start losing trust in yourself and that can easily convert into feelings of frustration. Bit by bit, this pent-up frustration starts eating away at your happiness.
