They are so mean to me!

“We teach people how to treat us.” - Phillip C. McGraw

Bewildered?

Once they hurt you, shame on them.

Second time, shame on you.

Don't let others put you down.

Don't allow others to put you in a position where you must justify your actions, words and ESPECIALLY your existence!

Insecure people like to test others to see how far they can go. If someone gets you to defend yourself in any way, it gives them a feeling of superiority.

Asking them, "why are you saying that me?" put the onus on them. This will give them a bit of a surprise as their intent was to put YOU on the spot!

Where do they get off with their superior attitude?

It came from you in previous exchanges when you allowed such disrespect.

There is no one to change but yourself!

Once you clarify what you are willing to accept and not willing to accept, the exchanges become healthy.

Though we must accept the responsibility for allowing others to previously disrespect us we must also take the responsibility to establish a change to respectful mutuality.

Only we can do that, no one else can.

Think, "I am present, self-respecting, worthy and self-loving."

Everyone will sense it and especially become attuned after you prove it by some simple statement, such as, "I am uncomfortable with what you have just said".

Take your power back!

Don't ever give it away again!
