My wife told me once, that when I don't respect myself and value myself, she feels compelled to treat me like sh*t.
Act like a doormat and people will treat you that way.

Well, I'm a reformed doormat or trying to be! I just think normal people or healthy people won't treat you that way. Doormat or not, I treat everyone the same way (not that I'm normal and healthy). Don't you think these are dysfunctional unhealthy people that would treat people like they are a doormat if they don't have lots of self-confidence? I mean that seems to be how it is in my life anyway.... Also, I wonder sometimes if a person is being treated like a doormat or like sh*t, then that person probably does lose their self-respect, confidence, and PMA b/c of that!
Don't get me wrong working on my self-confidence and trying not to doormat has been good for me, but I certainly don't think that entitles anyone to treat someone like sh*t. Karen
