I Let People Walk All Over Me

Go With The Flow...... I let people walk all over me because I'd prefer to just go with the flow. I usually believe it would be much easier this way, but sometimes it just doesn't turn out this way. I feel like crap. I can't stand up for myself. I never have and it's hard to believe I ever will. My bf tells me I don't have enough respect for myself and that's why I do this, but I just don't think that is. I like to believe I think of others first and what they want. I do get stretched pretty thin when more than one person is involved and it's very stressful. However, everyone thinks they know what's best for me, I have never really thought about myself. So, people sometimes think I am just a doormat. I'm easy going, do as I'm told no matter who it is and I think people take advantage of my good nature.

There is a time and a place to stand up for yourself. A lot of what happens in life is not worth making a big deal out of. I will sometimes let the small things slide and not worry about it. But there are times when I will not allow others to take advantage of the situation or of myself. We live in a time where people will take advantage of your good nature. Once in awhile it's no big deal but when they try to do it over and over again you have to take a stand. The real question is do you believe you are a doormat? Do you believe that you respect yourself?
