It's okay to stand up for yourself. It doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't make you rude. It's okay to say "no" or "stop". It's okay to defend yourself. It's okay to protect yourself. It's okay.
It's also okay if you feel like you can't stand up for yourself. It doesn't make you a coward. It doesn't make you weak. Sometimes it's tough figuring out what to say or do to defend yourself. Sometimes you're worried about what might happen when you do. It's okay to ask for help or support when you feel like you can't do things alone. It's okay.
