“We teach people how to treat us.”- Dr. Phil McGraw
Ya’ll can knock Dr. Phil all day, but don’t do it around me because my love for this man runs so deep that we might as well be involved. I don’t expect you to feel the same, but I do expect you to re-read that quote and to remember it because it is one of the greatest, yet simplest truths in life. What the doc is trying to say here is to STFU and quit complaining about how badly someone is treating you. It is your own damn fault for allowing it.
Even I, the most awesome chick on the planet, need to remember that no matter how unfairly I’m being treated- life’s not fair. And I could either emotionally suffer at the hands of someone else, or I could not. I am 100% in control of that.
Something I’ve learned the hard way, unfortunately, is that when beginning a relationship with someone (romantic or otherwise), you need to set boundries out the gate. Stand firm when it comes to what you’ll tolerate and what you won’t. Only then will that relationship hold any value. Unfortunately, that stems from knowing your self-worth, and in many cases it takes years to truly define that. You always hear that no one can love you until you love yourself. Dude, TRUE. THAT.
I personally aspire to be in the ranks of those who claim that they “don’t take shit from anyone.” I’m not talking about the losers who have nothing better to do than to think every word ever is an insult to them (I am legit thinking about Jersey Shore right now). No, I’m talking about the people who take those idiots with a grain of salt. The people who are so comfortable in who they are, that they don’t need to get mad- they just walk away. Some people are naturals at that… Assholes.
Anywho- from now on, chose to stick with sticks n’ stones. People who try to put you down can go fuck themselves, for real. They have their own soul-searching to do. In the straight up act of trying to make you feel inferior, they might as well surrender the right to any respect at all. Talking shit to try to hurt ME doesn’t work. What it does is make YOU pathetic and ME laugh. And then it makes me feel sorry for you that you suck so bad. What are you hiding? A small dick? Traumatic childhood? That’s too friggin’ bad- go talk to someone else about it… ’cause that is the wrong way to cry for any help from me.
Let people you care about know that you will only treat them with as much respect as they treat you. That you’re a shoulder, not a punching bag. It’s so important to be happy with the people you choose to share your life with; you don’t get back wasted time.
Thank you, Dr. Phil. Thank you.
