pushed around


Question Posted Tuesday March 25 2008, 10:47 pm

so i always used to have a strong personality, and i was really strong willed, but this past year i've lost myself. people walk all over me, my friends my family - even my boyfriend who is usually a pushover is always walking all over me. i tried finally talking to him and he acted like he was listening, then two minutes later he acted like nothing ever happened and went back to normal. i don't want to fight so i didn't say anything but it really bothers me that he didn't take me being upset seriously.

i feel like everybody is always laughing at me, and they walk all over me. i don't like to fight but nobody listens when i say something. im tired of being a joke what can i do without causing drama?

It might sound chicken of me to say but it has worked for me; don't ask for opinions, don't ask for help, don't share good news or bad news, don't talk about things that get you pushed around, exclude people that push you around from the equation of what you are doing. Example: if you ask your boyfriend what he wants to do for valentine's he will let you down but if you tell him what you want (not ask) he will do it. If you ask someone if you should cut your hair they will think they own your life, so just do it. It might make you feel lonely but it will make these people listen when you do talk about things.

In some sense I know how you feel because there's time where I still get treated like that. I get tired of it sometimes and my anger builds up, but it all depends on how you act among everything. There's always going to be people in life that try to bring you down. Most of the time it's because they're jealous of you and they're self-consience about themselves. But whatever you do, don't let people walk all over you. If you standing up for yourself causes drama, who cares... Besides, there's drama every day like all the time, so I don't think it would matter. If people try to walk all over you and push you around, and if you just keep a smile on your face and not let it get to you, people will eventually quit because they know it doens't get to you anymore and make sure they know that by keeping that smile. I know it may sound hard, but trust me, it helps out a lot because I tend to do that sometimes. Hope I helped... ~ Skyla ~

dont ever let anyone get to you who doesnt matter in your life. dont let people walk over you. give them what they deserve. fight back. no really. just dont be afraid to say anything even if it causes drama. if they walk all over you than they deserve the drama.

hope i helped and good luck
