    start by saying "NO" to a request. Already you are not a doormat. A doormat always says 'yes'.

    Learn to set boundaries. if someone asks you to do a favor for them practice saying 'I'll get back to you about it'. and then think about whether you really want to do the favor or whether you are doing just so the person will like you.

    If you do really want to help the person and they say 5 O'clock and 5 is not godd for you stop and think what time is good for YOU, not them. let's say its 6. so you tell them 6 O'clock would work better for you.
    there you have set a boundary. by now you are starting to feel stronger and people are respecting you more.
