Friday Fix: Episode 190
Have you ever allowed someone to put you down?
Have you tolerated broken promises over and over again?
Have you put up with someone who treats you poorly?
Verywell / Julie Bang
If so, youre not alone.
We all have likely let someone mistreat us at one time or another.
Thats not to say you always need to address mistreatment.
If someone cuts in front of you in line, you might decide just to let it go.
But repeated mistreatment from a friend, family member, colleague, or acquaintance can be a problem.
Some mistreatment might involve outright disrespect.
At other times, mistreatment might be more subtle like snarkybackhanded complimentsorgaslighting.
While you cant control how other people behave,you’re free to control how you respondto them.
If youve allowed someone to treat you poorly and didnt address their behavior, its important to consider why.
It may have to do with the other personlike you fear what would happen if you spoke up.
Once you understand why you allow mistreatment to happen, you’re able to take helpful action.
