How to understand that those around you are not respected: 5 alarming signs

You forgive too quickly. Family and friends do not have to make efforts to redeem guilt - you need an apology, thrown in passing. For your quickness and gentleness lies a low self-esteem: you think that you are unworthy of broad gestures and actions.

You convince others of your good qualities. If you constantly list your husband, child or girlfriend your own merits - stop: no one has ever been able to increase their importance by talking. Constant reminders of what you have done only irritate others and make them feel unduly obligated. Do what you think is necessary without waiting for approval - and it will come to you in any case.

You idealize people on your life path. "The one who loves will never hurt," "the lover should understand and feel from a half-word" - dangerous illusions that are fraught with disappointment. It is not necessary to build up spiritual ties: you must be able to build personal boundaries and stop those who hurt you - unconsciously or intentionally.

You are too complacent. Even if you are offended - you are trying to understand and justify the aggressor. You adhere to a refined code of honor, trying not to harm others in any way - and expect it in return. You hide your pain and bitterness under the guise of optimism and forgiveness: not the best way to achieve sympathy. The truth is cruel: if someone insults you, he likes to do it.

You always need the approval of others. You often hesitate, being unable to make a decision. You look around at others, willingly or unwittingly asking if you are doing everything right. You easily succumb to authoritative opinion, without questioning it - still, because it is voiced firmly and decisively. You should remember: any position is not the ultimate truth. Start to trust yourself - at least in small things.
