I'm the least assertive person you could possibly meet, and will probably only say no to something when I'm at breaking point.
I do believe that so much of my life would be different if I was able to put my foot down without fearing that the other person will physically attack me or something because I said no.
I think the easiest way to deal with that is reduce the fear of physical attack by desensitising your self to it. Maybe try some martial arts that encourage sparing, or try boxing maybe.
Kickboxing, sword fighting and self defense classes have really helped me with this too :) It brings a lot of self confidence.
