Don't be too honest in life and too simple in your actions! Remember these 20 techniques to help you build a powerful presence, become assertive, and prevent others from bullying you!

1. Develop the habit of managing your facial expressions. At least, don't smile foolishly just to please others.

2. Don't explain everything and worry about others' misunderstandings. If someone misunderstands you, let it be.

Those who easily doubt you based on misunderstandings are not worth befriending.

3. Always have your own opinions, and be brave enough to express your views and needs.

4. Consciously overcome feelings of inferiority. No matter what you do, don't think that you can't do it well. Even if it's blind confidence, avoid feelings of inferiority.

5. Avoid blindly conforming to others. The sense of security it brings is often false and, most importantly, it will significantly diminish your presence, making you appear weak.

6. Don't care too much about how others perceive you, and don't try to please others.

7. When communicating with others, dare to make eye contact. Don't avoid eye contact when the other person is looking at you.

8. If you want to appear assertive, don't be overly enthusiastic or proactive in helping others.

Avoid being eager for someone's attention. Of course, this technique is only suitable for those who are too honest.

9. Develop the habit of writing success diaries. Write down every successful thing you do, no matter how small. Over time, it will create a confident aura.

10. Limit asking others unnecessary questions.

Constantly asking questions like a primary school student makes you appear passive and weak in social interactions.

11. Have a sense of boundaries in personal relationships. Protect your vulnerable side and avoid showing it easily. Otherwise, others may sympathize with you but think of you as weak.

12. Learn to retaliate and fight back when someone intentionally bullies you for the first time. This will prevent them from going further and let them know that you are not someone to be messed with.

13. Avoid revealing too much about yourself to others. Keep everything not worth saying in your heart. The less you speak, the more dominant you become.

14. Walk with your head up, chest out, and look ahead. Don't stoop or lower your head.

15. Be decisive in your actions, enhance your proactiveness, and refuse to procrastinate or be indecisive.

16. Learn to have a poker face when dealing with strangers.

If they can't read you, they won't dare to bully you. People usually have a sense of awe for the unknown.

17. When someone makes demands on you, regardless of how difficult or whether you want to comply, don't easily agree. Learn to create difficulties and let them pay a cost.

18. When expressing opinions, try to avoid using ambiguous words like "almost," "okay," "maybe," "might," "probably," etc.

These words can make people underestimate you.

19. In social situations, when faced with awkwardness, don't be afraid or uncomfortable. Instead, create awkwardness through pauses and silence, making the other person uneasy. By doing this, you often gain control.

20. Patience is a virtue, but if you are too honest, what you should do is not to be patient, but to confront when necessary. In summary, being too honest in life and too simple in actions makes you vulnerable to bullying in society.

This is a cruel and unfortunate reality. To change this, avoid being too honest, not too straightforward in actions, and consciously enhance your presence to become assertive.
