Shivangi's Post

10 ways you're accidentally training people to disrespect you. 🚨 You're not being disrespected because people are terrible. You're being disrespected because you're teaching them it's okay. Here's how: 1. You apologize for everything. "Sorry to bother you..." Stop apologizing for existing. It signals you don't value your own presence. 2. You say yes when you mean no. Every time you agree when you want to decline, you're teaching people your boundaries don't matter. 3. You over-explain yourself. Leaders don't justify every decision. When you over-explain, you're asking for permission instead of owning your choice. 4. You let people interrupt you. If you stop talking every time someone cuts you off, you're signaling your voice isn't important. 5. You tolerate disrespectful behavior. Silence is agreement. When someone crosses a line and you say nothing, you've just moved the line. 6. You're always available. Responding immediately trains people to expect instant access. Protect your time. 7. You downplay your achievements. "Oh, it was nothing..." Own your wins or people will assume they weren't worth celebrating. 8. You accept blame that isn't yours. Taking responsibility for other people's mistakes makes you a scapegoat, not a team player. 9. You don't speak up when you're uncomfortable. Every time you stay silent, you're teaching people that behavior is acceptable. 10. You prioritize being liked over being respected. You can't control if people like you. But you can control if they respect you. People treat you how you teach them to treat you. Stop training people to disrespect you. Set boundaries. Own your value.
