    The single most important thing you can do is not be afraid. That will help a lot.

    So you're timid and weak. So what. That's YOU. Trying to toughen up when you're not tough to begin with is a waste of time. ACCEPT what you are.

    Learn how to say no.

    Try some mock situations with someone you trust, where they demand you do something which makes you uncomfortable.

    So say no if you don't want to do something. It's easy - you don't even have to give a reason. Sounds like you need talk therapy to change behavior patterns.

    So why post this under Business/Investing when it should be put under Family/relationships?

    Get this book called how to win friends and influence people.

    Read it and then see a psychologist.
