People who’ve disrespected you should never be allowed back into your space again. Stop giving them chances to tear at your soul. They’re empty, so they want you to be too.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THIS ABOUT HUMAN NATURE
- People don't respect you for being nice. They respect you for having limits.
- The more you explain yourself, the less powerful you sound.
- People will test you first... then decide how to treat you.
- If you tolerate small disrespect, you silently approve bigger ones.
- Not everyone who smiles at you likes you. Some are just observing you.
- The moment you stop being useful, some people disappear without explanation.
- People don't listen to understand you. They listen to respond or judge.
- People don't change when you explain. They change when you stop allowing.
