Done Being a Doormat

Done Being a Doormat?

I lived a good part of my life being a doormat. Then I finally got on the journey of self growth, discovering how to get over these fears of…

* standing up for myself

* saying no

* living life on my terms

* stop being a doormat

* stop letting people trample over me

* stop letting people speak over me, interrupt me and ignore my boundaries.

 

What does it  mean to be a doormat?

Being a doormat typically refers to a person who allows others to walk all over them, metaphorically speaking. This usually stems from a fear of speaking up or asserting oneself, often leading to others disregarding their boundaries and taking advantage of them. Essentially, a doormat is someone who lacks assertiveness and allows others to dictate their actions and decisions without standing up for themselves.

 

Five Signs You Might Be a Doormat

Always saying yes: They agree to every request or demand made of them, even if it inconveniences them or goes against their own preferences or needs.

Avoiding conflict at all costs: They go out of their way to avoid any confrontation or disagreement, even if it means sacrificing their own opinions or desires.

Failing to set boundaries: They allow others to cross their boundaries without objection, whether it’s in personal relationships, at work, or in social situations.

Being overly accommodating: They prioritize other people’s needs and desires over their own, often neglecting their own well-being in the process.

Accepting mistreatment: They tolerate being treated poorly or disrespectfully by others without standing up for themselves or demanding better treatment.
