How do i confidently set boundaries with disrespectful people?

You set a boundary when someone crosses it you remove them from your life. If you can not you act cordial but not friendly.

If you don't, lift and enter a combat sport/martial arts.

Seriously, I doubt people will be so stupid as to disrespect a guy bigger than them, and combat sports will help you keep your cool, since you'll be more confident.

Other than that, ignore/agree and amplify any bullcrap they throw at you (important to notice: do not make a nervous giggle or anything akin to it. In fact, remain serious as you A&A), and do not let them step over the line.

Use eye contact to your advantage, hold their gaze until they avert it. If they do, they lose; you win.

That's like asking "how do I confidently breathe?"

You just do it. Don't think about it - just throw it out there and keep rolling with it.
