We hope our highly empowering and inspiring I am not your doormat quotes and sayings make you live fearlessly with high self-esteem and head held high.
People consciously or unconsciously are being used as a doormat because they always want to be good, sweet, and nice socially.
If you don’t want to be treated like a doormat, stop asking for social validation and appreciation for your existence.
Those who will respect your self-worth won’t necessarily expect you to be all sugary and put together all the time. That’s why women often become soft targets.
Be independent, sane, and mentally strong, never tolerate disrespect, and never take your being for granted.
