I'm extremely sensitive and so often I become agreeable just to people around me just so that I am not bullied.

You're not alone re your ardent wish for the world to be a better place!!
And I totally get making yourself seem "less than" as a safety strategy - and still I wonder if you can experiment, little by little, with expressing yourself and your achievements authentically - I bet you'll find that the price you have to pay is not as big as the one you pay for staying small/untrue to yourself.
