6 Habits That Slowly Kill Your Self-Respect

1. Staying Quiet When You Are Hurt

When you keep your pain inside just to avoid conflict, you are hurting yourself more than helping anyone.

2. Saying Yes When You Want to Say No

Agreeing to things you do not want to do makes you feel used and weak inside.


3. Trying to Make Everyone Like You

The more you try to please others, the more you forget who you are.


4. Going Against What You Believe

If you act in ways that go against your values, you will feel like a stranger to yourself.


5. Hiding Your True Self to Fit In

Trying to blend in by making yourself smaller does not help you or anyone else. It just makes you feel unseen.


6. Letting People Treat You Badly Without Saying Anything

If you do not stand up for yourself, people will not respect you. And soon, you will stop respecting yourself too.

Alarm

 After his behavior of against my way to deal with Myriam, in fact, in this case, it was Meili. It shone the red light as alarm!  I take him my precious love and most important man in my life, and share with him smalls and bigs. And there are scenarios that I must tell him the ruthless facts. He appeared quietly listening to me, but I now realized that he suppressed himself to argue with me and simply kept quiet. He didn’t agree with me at all. In his heart he thinks that I am wrong even though at times he admitted that I was right.  The fact of his reactions to DDM’s very important persons is telling me that he just wants to get their validation desperately. He ignored my request and advice directly by silence which I mistakenly thought he agreed with me.  I didn’t notice his response by his body language. I didn’t even listen to his weak voice of defense.  He looked at his laptop or books instead of me while I was talking to him. That was not communication at ...

Terrified

 He broke a glass cup. It was not a thing. It terrified me when I heard his groan at his door.  He had turned on the light, and I can assume he was awake already. It was late than usual when he got up and went showering. I knew him will have a busy day for work. I was afraid he was.  I need to assure myself that I am strong enough not only for him but also myself. Basically I am worried about him being ignored by people who used him as a slave. But it turned out that he probably preferred to be. And then he became a back stabber to me.  He now is packed with full schedules, and has no sense of time, still taking all DDM Meditation programs. It is all about him but he doesn’t consider his health. He took wrong way of my meal planning at home. And that  I suggested that he to pay for all dining out bills was making him to have the sense of always dining out. But sadly he took it as I cared about the restaurant bills only.  It’s hard to make him understan...

Eroded trust

  Dear Keithie,  At this timing point when the Valentine’s Day is around the corner, bringing up this issue is not wisely given. But it is serious topic for discussion.  I rejected Myriam’s asking to come to the Saturday class at 1 o’clock because of the schedule tightened. Meili learned about that when she gave us a ride. I told her the trip costs us 1.5 hours but you said 1 o’clock was fine because your are free @11 not what I thought it was 11:30. Meili had raised suspicions after our argument.  Meili literally googled it since she has our address and Google told her it was 1 hour trip.  I told you that I will answer Myriam the schedule when we arrived and stayed at the tpl at Spadina. But you rushed to answer Meili that it was one hour before I said 70 minutes.  Meili’s job was “ audit” that you knew it better than I do. I was not surprised she did google how much time our trip was. But it was your actions surprising me.  Let’s not say we’re a coup...
