It's okay to have an opinion on things you aren't the person you were 10 years ago. Even if you are afraid, it's okay to want to change and express yourself without feeling that you are a bother or an inconvenience. You can tell your friends that you don't like to go to clubs every Friday, you can decide which restaurant you want to try, you can ask them to change something if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell them to respect your boundaries if they overstep. You are allowed not to be nice to the family members who are always mocking you, you can be a part of planning a trip rather than just saying "oh, anything's fine". people aren't adjusting to your needs. you are just finding balance and being involved the way it suits you.
