@kahjeemlifts: I would always distance from people that are trying to disrespect me in any way. back then I would always let these people "win" and get weak but with time I learned to know who i am and that nobody else can tell me how to act or what is best for me cause everyone has their own opinion and experiences. it's not healthy letting your happiness rely on someone else. Also you need to have a strong feel of empathy cause understanding others will also help you understand your own feelings better.
