People treat you the way you let them

People treat you the way you let them treat you.

Treat people the way you would like to be treated.

Sometimes it’s not a good idea to let the irritating, mean (or etc) things that your friends or family do slip by without you letting the person know how you really feel about the issue. Once it becomes a habit it is harder to break that habit, also your frustration grows to a boiling point and you explode. You have to train people to treat you the way you want to be treated. This can be done by putting your foot down when something demeaning has been done to you and make it clear that you will not tolerate it. By being quiet – “YES”, you will avoid a sticky situation for that moment but a pattern will be set and the same things will be done to you again and again.

If you make yourself clear the first time around it sends a clear message across to the person that I refuse to be treated that way and people tend to not repeat it and take you for granted. So my new mantra is not to let anyone walk all over me. Being too nice in today’s day and age is not a done thing. Don’t be mean to anyone be nice but when the niceness becomes too out of hand and you notice people walking all over you put your foot own and refuse to let people treat you that way – after all People treat you the way you let them it’s up to you on how you want to be treated.
