Facts you would hate to hear how badly I'm afraid of my parents on a nightly basis because my mother simply treats me like crap and has always got a negative attitude and says stuff to me in a negative way everytime I talk to her but not only that but she's an excuse maker because last night before my parents went to bed my mother comes into my room and she starts complaining and she was making dumb excuses about my favourite School Teachers and how she's told them about my behaviour and how my favourite Teachers don't like me which is not true because some of my favourite Teachers Don't even know my mother very well especially not as well as they know me and so because of that and also with the issues I had with her in the past I'm thinking of abandoning and rejecting my parents and everyone I don't get along with as soon as I straight up move out of home and so the only supportive people I will have left in my life are my favourite School Teachers, The adults I work with, My basketball Coaches and teammates and my friends but that's it everyone else I'm going to cut from my life.

Don’t ever take kindness for weakness. That being said, be soft, but be ready

[@cheban9463]

I was thinking about that. For example, when you get disrespected you have to consciously make yourself aware of that in that moment, after that you can reply and defend. The problem is that you don't want to come off as aggressive. Anyone with any thoughts.

[@ExaltedDuck]

A lot of people.act 'nice' and nice is wrongly conflated with kind. People who 'act' 'nice' do it to gain ammo or leverage to demand 'returned favors' from others. Such favors are sometimes called covert contracts. Covert contracts are unkind since their.covert nature means those pulled into them are not necessarily pulled in consensually. Ironically, this invalidates the 'contract' side of it since contracts must be agreed upon. Regardless, it is a slimy thing and because of its commonness, most actual kind is not well differentiated from 'nice'. True kindness is done without any expectation of return and solely for the sake of being kind. It is much rarer than its purveyors want to believe.

[@chomeeghouri1306]

Unfortunately, a lot of people take real kindness for weakness and take advantage of your kindness and don't treat you with the respect you deserve. I'm a kind person who is genuinely nice to people. But a lot of people are mean to me and that always confuses me. I have also helped a lot of people but when I asked the same people for help they didn't help me and didn't want to be my friend anymore after I helped them. That being said, kindness should never be seen as a weakness. Even though I have been bullied and taken advantage of many times in my life, I have never stopped helping people and being a kind person and that makes me feel strong.

[@randomdude1398]

I finally did the “do not apologize” mindset during my hospital duty when the resident would try to pin the blame on me. I had realized that people take advantage of me because im too timid and nice. At some point in my life, I just hated everyone, I saw everyone as selfish, I tried to help everyone to the expense of my own. I was taught to be kind, but I realized that not everyone is nice. It was then that I made sure to ONLY be truly nice to those that matter. To people like me, being too nice will only ruin my mental state as I grow older, so I started to speak up and say No even if that, to me, is extremely difficult.

Story time: I used to have this friend, who always wanted someone to talk to 24/7 she told me that, she said they wished she could have a friend like that. So I was like: why not be the friend *she* wants, I don't want them to feel lonely like me.. So I did try to talk to her a lot, even though I really just want alone time I still try. Until one day where I really needed alone time, I told them and my other friends that I'm going on a break for a little while and just be alone. But she said 'no' she doesn't want me to leave them alone, though I understand that she gets lonely a lot. At that time I really needed to sort out my messy thoughts, I told them that I really want and need to be alone for awhile but she still insisted. Long story short whether they liked it or not I spent a few days alone anyway. Also there were times I was extremely dry (because I didn't want to talk at all) then she ended up saying "STOP BEING DRY IT'S ANNOYING" and it just hurt me... Because it felt like I cant express my emotions with them. Then months later, we continuously kept arguing because our opinions were really different, she would sort of try to make me have the same opinions as them. So I decided to cut off connections with her. Now I don't know how they're doing or what they're doing. All I know is I've been feeling lonely these past few days and I just need someone to vent to so I ended up venting here. To those who reached the end of this comment, thanks for listening, have a nice day/night :)) Edit: hello again! it's been 3 weeks since I commented this here, all I want to say is thank you so much for your comforting words! It helped a lot, also I'll do a little life update: I've been doing really well lately! A few days after I posted this comment I joined a discord server, and through that I met so many great friends! They're all so nice and they respect me a lot. It's true that it's better to be lonely than to be in a toxic relationship, because there will always be someone-or more that will enter your life and treat you better than anyone else did! so if you're reading this right now, you can do this, ok? I know it's hard but that doesn't mean you should give up. Don't blame yourself for your past because you can't control it anymore, instead, what you should do is to use those mistakes to learn and grow and be a better person! It's hard to be mentally stable again, but trust me when I say that it's worth it because it is, it's the happiest feeling I've ever felt! So now, whoever is feeling sad or lonely, remember I'm here for you! You can do this, trust me, I'm rooting for you good luck!

Unfortunately a big thing I've had to accept over time is that all people are unintentionally extremely shallow. If you want respect, you have to start surface level. Good posture. Good clothing selection. Look like you have wealth and confidence. You get the deal. I've observed this so many times in many different situations. For example, substitute teachers. When it's an old balded guy with casual clothing, everyone gives them a really hard time. When it's a sharp looking 20 year old who isn't a substitute teacher for a living, they're praised and given good willed questions. I don't really think this is just a personal belief of mine or some dillusion I've fallen into. Every single day I see the same types of people and including myself get ridiculed, stepped on, ignored, used as a platform to jump off of (used as a part of a one sided "prank" or "joke" to make other people laugh), mocked in regards to stereotypes, etc. To boil it down really I just feel like I can't start anywhere if I don't start working on how I present myself.

This is false. The most respected teacher in my high school was old, fat and bald. But he knew how to talk to a bunch of 16 and 17 year olds. You are right though about the people you see get ridiculed and things of that nature. The ones doing the ridicule are the ones you should feel sorry for because they are the ones who are lost... that's not some motivational quote, that's just the truth. Quit dealing with people that treat you in ways you described, they'll never change, and you'd be crazy to think they ever will. People laugh at me it seems almost every day... But I don't care about those people or their opinions so what do I care. Don't let a bunch of ignorant people in society bring you down. Your opinion is the only one that matters.

I was friends with a person whom I used to talk a lot online, I thought we were great friends and everything seemed to be going too perfect. I was so nice to her and honestly OVER-NICE. It's not right. When we started offline classes I was constantly ghosted by her. She would rush off to her other friends in front of me, and the thing is I love her as a friend much more than she loves me. She would hardly give me respect and belittle me every time. Also I tried but I could not end my friendship with her. I can't ghost and she would always act like the victim if I tried to talk it out. Remember, if you don't want to be in a friendship NO ONE can force you. So, I have started distancing myself and I'm determined to detach myself from her.... Don't give in to everyone and stand up for yourself. You shouldn't settle for anything other than THE BEST. You deserve the best, know that. Start distancing yourself from people when you have tried everything and are still in the friendship which feels like a trap.

She sounds like a narcissist

[@selvarajuk3780]

Sounds just like the experience I had, everything was good when we were talking in online but when offline classes came , it left me questioning myself "how did I end up being friends with this person?" , I sat next to this person everyday and even if I wanted to distance myself all I can do is being silent and doing my work , she argued with me whenever she got the chance , trying to belittle me but once I limited my interactions with her , she asked me "are you not going to sit with me anymore?" , "Are you avoiding me?" Like girl you argue with me 24/7 and you expect me to sit next you....🙄 Everyday going to school I was worried about my inner peace because of this person , it was hard for me to still be nice/good to her, that's when I thought this friendship is not good for either of us , now that our school days have ended, I hope I can make trustworthy friends and not someone who would make me question myself. I just wanted to share my experience too😣.

Kinda sad reading how many of us have friends like this. Listening to the video it sounds a lot like the way my friend treated me recently. For months now I ask myself were they real friends or user friends?! Ugh I can’t seem to find my way thru it to communicate how wrong it was. Is this a friendship to salvage or let go? It’s been months and I remain silent on all fronts. Eventually I have to deal with it but don’t know where to begin.

[@Mr_Arachnid]

Last night I overheard my roommates discussing about everyone else and they were making fun of us all. When It got to my turn, they spoke about how they all had some kind of respect for me on meeting me first time. But because I became more open and free around them, they started showing disrespect, treating me like a minor entity. And after listening to their reasons for disrespecting me, I felt really bad. I think the best way to earn it back is to work on myself, be on my own lane, stop speaking to them and stop playing videogames. In fact. I wish I had never met them. I can't even change my room

I know what it's like to be too nice for your own good, because I've been through it. Sometimes being nice gets to the point where everyone starts to want something from you. You start to resent them and they only hit you up when they need something from you. They start to use your good nature against you. I thought that accepting every single request from students meant that I had earned their friendship and loyalty, even though it was at the cost of my own well-being. Instead, I started to resent them and walk on eggshells around them, becoming burned out from the overwhelming requests. I was willing to help my classmates, but eventually they started to abuse my good nature and only liked me when they needed something from me.

[@nvaranavage]

I think there is a needed balance between being kind and coming off as how you put it - a bitch?! A lot of people say "No is a complete sentence". However, I think this is where the kindness factor comes into play. No may be a complete sentence, but I have had people publicly put me down by saying I was selfish when I told them no. After they made the comment I thought for a moment and asked them a question "Do you always say yes to everything you are asked to volunteer for? I would love to help out with the event, but I would not be bringing my A game to the event, if I can't bring my best work for you I have to respectfully decline." The people that were with us looked at me, then looked back at her waiting to hear her answer. I finally learned how to create boundaries without being bitchy, and was able to extricate myself from volunteer work with someone who was very judgemental towards me who had no right to be. It's all in how you approach each situation - I've learned the hard way a few times but have had the opportunity to look back and learn how I went wrong. I've dealt with catty women, bitchy women (who were proud of it and actually made a point to tell me that they were a bitch), back-stabbers, whiners and 22 year olds who acted like they were still 13 and bragged about it.......after dealing with these types of people I am able to pick them out of a line up and steer clear of them........does it make the pool of friends to choose from a lot smaller, almost non-existent?! Yes, yes it does, but what it leaves behind are the quality women you would be proud to call a friend.

[@molnaralexandra327]

That phrase is so true. I'm happy you find some peace for yourself :) I mastered the "always look confident" thing and I tell you, it's bullshit. People may respect me but afraid of me as well. I've got social phobia so I'm not very talkative. That, and the confident look always gives others the illusion that I'm snobby and look down upon them. I can't just blend into groups like before, there is always a real "alpha" who's trying to protect his/her reputation and starts to fight me and curse me out and it's terrible. I'm always alone because nobody dares to speak with me and I can't really start a conversation. Sometimes I really want to just return to my old, disrespected self but I don't know how to act not confident anymore lol

[@samfarrow348]

Through most of my life I’ve been too kind and would apologise often without being conscious of it. These days, I’m a lot more confident setting boundaries and getting my point across when things don’t go right. That way, it’s a way for me to sort out any problems that may arise without being too harsh. This video is great for anyone who’ve been through this and who’re grown tired of putting fake politeness all the time

[@frankiebob1191]

This is great advice. I wish I knew this years ago. I had always put myself last because that’s how I was raised. Manners/etiquette > your own feelings/wants e.g. if I were to visit a family friend, I was not allowed to ask for anything because that was RUDE. That only paved the way for me to be overly passive. By being too passive, I wouldn’t ever set my own boundaries and that led to me tolerating more than I should. Tolerating only wore me out and made me feel disconnected from people. The truth is, I was the one at fault. I should have respected myself and put myself first in many situations, but that’s life. You live and you learn. Be careful with how much you tolerate of others. Set your boundaries. Your feelings and desires are important too. Don’t forget about YOU…

I can vouch for this. I am an anxious little potato and I muster up a lot of courage to greet my aunt. I am tutoring her child which is why I was at their house for a while, and dude, I practiced greeting, went out of my comfort zone and greeted only to be ignored, I tried again and again, then I got scared of greeting, so I stopped. Dude she like complained to my mom and grandparents that I dont greet her, and she even got mad at me. So, I greeted her since they got pretty mad, dude, like listen, SHE PUT ON AN ANNOYED FACE WHENEVER I GREET HER. This might not seem like a lot for people that are not socially anxious, but I got so ducking frustrated that I just hid whenever she or other people that are not chill arrive. Teaching my 6 year old cousin there for about a year sucked, it sucked, not only does she not listen to anyone (which is why they hired me because they cant handle her and expects me a 13 year old to get her straight A's) It sucked because my aunt is strict af, and says hurtful things when mad, and would literally target you. They appreciate nothing I ever did, but looked for every hole that I can be considered irresponsible for. I cant say the whole story but it sucked and it upgraded my anxiety, downgraded my self respect and esteem. And upgraded my dermatilomania too. Oh and I got my cousin straight A's with the cost of my mental well being and they still hate me and never even said thank you. Or even ducking said that I did a good job, like nothing. Just sent me home after yelling at me cuz they didnt like one output my cousin made which got her an A :/ But life is getting better since I am now away from there, and I hope they never hire me again because I am a legendary pushover that doesnt know how to say no. I got called retarded so many times in that house. Im ducking 13, I got your kid straight A's and did a better job at teaching her kid. Great, I just got reminded that they might hire me again since nobody can literally handle my cousin and the school year is about to begin again. *searches up "How to say no"*

Only when they realize there is NOTHING they can hold over your head do they start to acknowledge that YOU DO HAVE CONTROL.. just as much as they do. It sucks sometimes, but sometimes you have to walk away. Sometimes you have to INSIST that it's "the end"... and that's that. You can't be afraid to write someone off (figuratively)...

Anyway, I’m a horse wrangler and I have to take care of horses needs and take at least 4 trail rides that are an hour long every day. My boss Avery is fine but she snaps at me in particular a lot. She doesn’t do it to anyone else but me. I’m new and am getting the ropes of everything and I get tons of compliments by several people a day which builds my confidence. An old man walked up to me and said “thank you for sharing this experience with me and my family. You made the long, tiring, travel here worth every minute.” I never felt so good, I started to burst into tears later about it. Bust my boss will shout at me in front of guests as if I don’t know what I’m doing, when I do. It makes me feel stupid and belittled. My horse wasn’t going anywhere after kicking him and slapping him on the butt. He was not in a good mood and Avery storms up, grabs him and yells “GET CONTROL OF YOUR HORSE AND YOURSELF BELLA!” Everyone looked at me with a shocked look and like they say something crazy happen. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed. Like I had no control of anything. I felt so small. She still yells from across fields at me when she’s not doing her part and she sends me away from her whenever I’m around. Today the vet came to check the horses and as soon as I would walk over she would just make me unsaddle horses, clean all the horse tack, grain the horses, and other stuff while her friends were sitting there doing nothing. I felt like I was just being taken advantage of. I know she’s supposed to tell me what to do but I wonder, can’t she reprehend me in private? I want to build my self confidence and try to be the bigger person. My new years revolution was to not be a push over anymore or just being taken advantage of.

"Respect yourself" is not always that easy. When you've got difficulties with your self-esteem during your whole life, you can't just shift it to self-respect. In reality the majority of people have a certain amount of insecurity about themselves and that's actually a very normal thing. What the majority of people can manage, is to give other people the impression they are confident. In reality they are much more insecure than they expose towards others. It seems to me people should become more aware of this. For me personally it gives me confidence to know I am not crazy to have my insecurities: it makes me being human just like everybody else. And from that point I started to grow genuine self-respect.

Our parents aren’t like others, they deserve to be respected. Although it’s easier said than done.

[@nightmare_symphony]

Me: helps mom for alot of things Next minute she asks for something and I say no:

[@plaidy.]

Your mom goes a LOT during the day, she has to take care of the whole house. Speaking of the house, even her family members. She does hard work EVERDAY and we, as a child get exhausted by doing chores in 1 hour, so imagine how she would feel, doing this everday. So it's better to even help her sometimes, you know to respect her

[@commerce-usa]

Because guilting some to help them always works out so well. 🙄

This video helped me finally realizr everything I'm doing wrong. No wonder I feel disrespected constantly. I'll try these for sure

[@wadessirenvideos6750]

I am a nice and easy going guy; at the same time, I will stand my ground, say NO, and raise my voice if needed. A friend should like you for who you are and what you do, but not what you do for them. When your friend is only there when they need something done for them, they are treating the friendship like a one way street. In this case, they expect you to do all the work to keep the friendship going. Keeping the friendship going is their job too. If it's only about them, and not about respect for you, it's time to fold up the tent and call it quits. Don't be submissive, and don't worry about them any longer. Even if it emotionally hurts to end a friendship that has lasted a lifetime, you should be assured that you have done the right thing. I had a friendship that lasted 35 years that I had to let go of, and it was such a shame that friendship had to end.

[@anishahemangi9007]

This video was in my watch later list.. so I saw this after 1/2 year It's incredible how much I changed from relating to someone who gets walked all over to someone who is confident☺️ Special tip: something that helped me become confident in myself was opening up to my family and taking mask off infront of my friends and exercise (not kidding) so try if these work for you😉👍🏻

[@MarvinTabingo-lp4yz]

Just be nice to others

[@maryv610]

I really needed this video right now. Thank you Psych2Go! Always remember that just because the other person is nice, doesn't mean you can't say no. Respect your boundaries.

Respect is a two way Street,if you want respect,you have to give RESPECT......

[@Mari-sg2pp]

The easiest way to gain respect respect yourself, have self respect and respect others Respect other people's opinions, listen and learn that the world doesn't revolve around you Learn to be scarce Learn to be understanding Learn to learn more Don't do what you can't take Don't insult because you've broke one circle No matter self respect yo have if you're mean am not gonna respect you.

[@davidcarson8950]

Disrespected: the classic Maybe that’s why I went all throughout high school and ( and pretty much thereafter) without being invited to a party or dating even though I graduated in the top 1% of my class: because of my shyness. I wish I had been taught this series earlier in life

[@MindNow]

How are you now? R u more confident,

[@davidcarson8950]

Not really

[@Litepaw]

It took me 26 years to respect and love myself enough to start actually properly defend my own boundaries, admit to myself that I'm bisexual, and learning to take care of my own well-being. Combine those with a couple near death experiences i had before, and that has cascaded into me radiating a kind of loving warm confident energy everywhere i go, that other people respect enough not to abuse or attack anymore. ( ˘ ³˘)♥ Everyday I wake up with butterflies and warmth in my chest just to be alive, sober, and well. To have such a balanced life full of great things, a boyfriend and awesome great new friends around me 🥰🦊 That's one helluva climb from being a self-hating dope addict fantasizing about going to the nearest train tracks and stuck in a toxic relationship for 4 years. That's exactly why everyone should learn to respect themselves enough to set boundaries and learn that you can't always please everyone. That's how you attract abusers and people who just want to take advantage of you.

[@qweglit]

im a completely different person than i used to be, i used to be really introverted and shy, but now i find myself being really relatable to a lot of popular/well-respected kids, but by now i've already set my reputation so low that it is almost impossible to break out of who people think i am into who i really am.

I am always nice to people (or so i believe) i dont talk much, i dont critic them, but they keep treating me badly because of my looks... we live in a cruel world...

[@X3GoldenOfficial]

We don't live in a cruel world, it's just that the people in it can be cruel. Don't surround yourself with cruel people, distance yourself from them. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it's impossible but it can't hurt to atleast try. If you're really having a hard time with people that you cannot distance yourself from you should combat it by telling them that you know they're treating you like this because of your looks (if that is the case). To cause the most impact on them you should say it in a disrespectful manner because they obviously don't respect you.

[@xtragum6810]

Same, I'm too nice which makes me an easy target for bullying. Bad people always get their way and it makes me fucking sick of it, lol

[@JimmyJaxJellyStax]

I've found there's always some level of discomfort and offense "required" to set boundaries, but it can still be "respectful" to our self and the other person. Comfort is the confusion with living a happy life, getting strong with discomfort and speaking up is indeed a key to a happier more genuine life that people will naturally have to respect more than being super defensively comfortable. I realized this myself, still learning but I've come a ways for sure. I find training the "deliberate speaker" self helps. To go deeper into a mental calm flow... say the hard words... say them because they are more true than the anxiety. The deliberate speaker deepens the voice, slows down, speaks a decent heavy volume, makes solid laser eye contact, shows more respect and reality than ever before. A little bit of bite / growl is necessary to prevent disrespect. People test at places like a job, hmm can they take it, a little bite back - of course. Without a little hardness, bullet-proofness, and too much being nice and soft, there is inevitable disrespect even from nice people. I realized it's actually in human nature more than people just being cruel. From here, it's ultimately deep in the self that's holding back the self with unresolved insecurities to be too nice. Society itself has gotten pretty soft, that's not a good thing, but it's not impossible to regain the balance with some habit changes - best is always starting on the body. Like David Goggins, his story is incredible - bullied, really soul crushed, massive lack of self respect, tons of failures, he found through his increase of action in his body was the key that turned it all around. The brain is designed for motion and physical activity and works absolutely best with consistent activity and this is a huge key to the softness today - extreme comforts, the most comfortable humanity has ever been, but at a great cost as well. Motion is the means, and the brain adapts and grows tougher with it. Meditation is also an exercise of discipline, dopamine detox, reset, healing.

[@LambdaPsi]

what i do: -just be respectful -when you greet someone just say a simple hello and put a smile -be an authentic person

[@Cthulhu4President]

In my experience people don't allow you to set boundaries with them. They just yell and scream or get violent until they get their way. It's a big part of the reason I'm far more interested in being left alone and/or ignored over being respected. If a person who acts like that respects you, it probably says more about you than it does about them.
