Stand up for yourself – How to overcome manipulation
When you are full of doubt, the tendency is that you don’t know how to fight for yourself. What’s worse is that other people can easily control you, even if it’s against your will.
You have to fight for your right.
Be proud of who you are.
Defend yourself.
Don’t let fear stop you. If you continue to live in a world of cowardice, you will never see the beauty of life. Living means taking risks and going beyond your comfort zone. The world is too big to allow one person to manipulate you. This is what you have to do…
Know that you have the right
When you negotiate with a manipulative person, you have to be aware that your rights have been trampled on. Always remember that you have the privilege to stand up for yourself, especially if you are not respected as an individual.
The manipulators will steal your rights so that they have dominion over you. It’s only “you: who has the power to command your life. Be in charge.
Stop blaming yourself
It’s not your fault. Everyone has a weakness and it is up to you how you will be able to overcome it. Being able to conquer shortcomings is how we become stronger as people. Never think that you are the problem. What becomes bad is when you let that person keep manipulating you.
Know how to say “no”
There is nothing wrong with expressing how you feel, especially if it goes against your morals. We all have different principles that govern our lives, so individual differences must be respected. Be firm with your decisions. Keep in mind that saying “no” is simply admitting how you really feel, and you absolutely have the privilege of doing so.
stand your ground
A person can only intimidate you if you allow them to. Don’t show your weakness and show them that you are strong. Take the control. For once in your life, live in freedom, free yourself from the bonds of fear.
All of these things are easier said than done. But how can you change your situation if you don’t start deciding for yourself? If you want to achieve something, take the next step. Respect is something you have to earn. The moment you don’t recognize your right as a person, that’s when you lose your individuality. Respect yourself first and everything else will come later.
