Stop Being a Punching Bag - Manipulators will continue to
treat you like a punching bag only if you allow them to do it.

Respect yourself enough to stand up and say you don’t deserve
this kind of treatment. Because you don’t. Go back to your
fundamental rights once again, where you have the right to be
respected. Anytime anyone takes advantage of you, they’re not

respecting you. The choice of whether to put up with it or not
rests entirely in your hands. People will try to use you, abuse you
and take advantage of you, but you have a choice to say no to all
of it. No one has any power to manipulate you unless you give

them permission to. Put a stop to being a punching bag, start
taking accountability for your decisions and remind yourself you
have no reason to feel guilty about standing up to someone who
isn’t treating you fairly.

Manipulators will always try to do everything in their power to shake your

confidence and weaken you enough for them to gain control over you.
They’ll pretend to be concerned about you, or that they only have your best

interest in mind (funny, when most of the time they try to get you to do

things which benefit them instead). They’ll convince you they want to

“help”, when the truth is, the only person they want to help is themselves,

and if they have to step on your toes to do it, they will. Once you allow
them into your life, they can be hard to get rid of, but it can be done now

that you know how. The final key is to never stop working on developing

your own confidence, the stronger you are, the less control they have over

you.
