Now this is going to come automatically as I start to continue on the road but you must need to act from the place of your stand. You need to verify your understanding and then stand firm as mountain. Not to impress anyone or to justify to no one.
Being defensive or changing your instance is not a good idea and you should always have freedom to walk away. you need to know the truth of it, and you can not allow other people to run all over you.
The another thing is you need to accept the truth and make sure you are not justifying it.
