I can not say how much of my life I wasted trying to argue for what I really wanted from those around me that said they loved me. How many times I fought for my voice to be heard, my needs to be met, my feelings to matter to them.

NOT ANYMORE.

Those with self respect don’t run around forcing other to respect them as well.

They simply avoid individuals who are disrespectful, disruptive and/or abusive because it’s simply the right thing to do.
