SELF - RESPECT means respect yourself. If you don't, others won't either. Having real self-respect means you're able to be kind to everyone. If people respect you respect them back, if they disrespect you still respect them back. They represent their ideology and you represent yours.
You have to learn that you won't always be a priority to others, and that's why you have to be a priority to yourself. Even if people insult you and are cruel, you can wish them well and disengage. If you react also it won't change anything, it won't magically change their minds. If you constantly have to tell someone the same exact thing about how you feel and still they don't change it, then give yourself enough respect to walk away from someone who doesn't see your worth.
The more chances you give someone the less respect they'll have for you. They're not afraid to lose you because they know no matter what, you won't walk away. A break from someone will either make you realize how much you truly need them or how much peace you have without them. You cannot change all the people around you, you can certainly change the people you choose to be around. Don't blame people for disappointing you, blame yourself for expecting too much from them.
Stop explaining to people, when you realize people only understand from their level of perception. Give them the gift of absence when they don't appreciate your presence. You have to leave not for ego, but for self-respect. You should have your own standards either step up or step out.
Sometimes you have to forgive what you feel, and remember what you worth/deserve. When you're constantly thinking of others that what they must be thinking or feeling of you. You start seeing yourself through their eyes and you lose sight of who you are. You always try to please them to remain in their counts.
When someone treats you like you're just of many options, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation. Sometimes you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do. Because sometimes you mean nothing to someone who means so much to you. Don't give part-time people a full-time position in your life. Maturity is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your mind. It does not mean that you want someone to miss you or realize your worth as they took you for granted. It's just because finally you started respecting yourself.
You cannot recover or recapture your past, it's over and gone. The things tomorrow is holding is uncertain; So seize the present moments and grab all we can obtain.
BEYOND THE POINT when you say 'YES' to others make sure you are not saying 'NO' to yourself. Don't lower your standards for anyone or anything. Self-respect is everything.
