Day 1528: Shape up or Ship Out: Teaching People How to Treat You

You teach people how to treat you – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 12 : 29 PM on day 1528 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Isaiah 15,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,  promote my Educate Generations campaign–on $850 –   feed myself egg with bread and a banana for breakfast, continue promoting my campaign – still on $850 – and hang out with my sister.

 

Today I realized once again that you teach people how to treat you I used to be one of those people who confused being nice with being a walk over but now I know that if I say nothing when I’m being manipulated, lied to or cheated I’m basically telling the other person that it’s okay to treat me that way so now when people treat me badly I cut them out of my life.  Are you teaching people to treat you like the valued human being that you are?
