Competency-based questions

Hi everyone! I usually do really well in interviews unless they are competency-based. I just don't know how to distinguish myself when they ask stuff like "Tell me about a situation when you had to stand up for yourself" "what are your three biggest weaknesses?" etc.
does anyone have any advise as to how to prepare for this type of questions, what answer HR wants to hear, what they typically ask other than those I've had, etc.?

thanks a lot!
