If someone treats you badly, what should you do?

 If someone treats you badly, just remember that there is something wrong with them, not you. Normal people don’t go around destroying other human beings.  

I tell myself that I don’t allow toxic people into my life because I am “allergic” to toxic people and need to live in a “toxic free zone.” 

“The way people treat you, is a statement about who they are as a human being. It’s not a statement about you. ”

Honestly it is. When someone treats you badly, it’s okay to feel hurt. It’s normal: a natural reaction.  

Like I said, this person treated you badly because of them – not you. So understanding why they did it, doesn’t even matter. Don’t let this lowlife waste any more of your time than they probably already have. You’re in control here. 

Do things that make you feel good. Work on things that inspire you. Push yourself in new areas of your life and watch yourself grow. This is something that should be doing regardless of your situation anyway, it should be an ongoing thing.

Why? Because it helps to challenge the negative beliefs you may have about yourself that allowed people to treat you the way they did in the first place. It makes you feel good and shows you that you are worth a lot more than this. 

So don’t excuse bad behaviour or let someone keep trying to knock you down. Stand up taller and stronger and say no to it. 

Don’t let that happen. You have every right to keep this from happening, to defend yourself, to set boundaries on what you will and won’t allow.

 If something bothers you, react and defend yourself.

Find those worthy of your kindness before forgiving. The rest are best forgotten. Forgiveness is not overrated but I would be very picky about who deserves it.
