While you can’t control how other people behave, you can control how you respond to them.
If you’ve allowed someone to treat you poorly and you didn’t address their behavior, it’s important to consider why.
It may have to do with the other person–like you fear what would happen if you spoke up. Or, it may have more to do with you–like you fear what would happen to you if the other person stopped being in your life.
Once you understand why you allow mistreatment to happen, you can take helpful action.
In this episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I explain the top seven reasons why you might allow someone to mistreat you. I also share how you can take steps to move forward in a healthy way if someone treats you poorly.
