Does anyone else have trouble saying "no" to other people? Not in any particular situation, but I always find myself agreeing and doing whatever someone may ask of me, simply because I have such a desire to be liked by everyone.  I thought this was something I would get better with as I got older, but I'm 20 now and struggle with it more than ever. It's at the point where it's making me a doormat. 

This past weekend, for example, I went on a date with a guy I had just met and we went back to his place to watch a movie. I was okay with kissing him, but I did nervously tell him that was all I wanted to do since I am a virgin. He began trying to persuade me into more and I went along with it simply because I'm so scared of saying no and potentially being rejected/not liked. I've never been more angry with myself for losing myself and my values in a situation that could've been prevented if I had been stronger. 

How do I strengthen myself as an individual and stick up more for what **I** want? I'm tired of losing who I am in the hopes that I'll be accepted by everyone.
