Stop rationalizing bad behavior by others towards you. Don’t make excuses for putting up with poor treatment.
1. Making excuses for other people
2. Keeping the peace at all costs
You may be peace-loving but sometimes you need to fight back. Stop avoiding conflict.
3. Not expressing what you really feel
Express, express, express. As long as you are not intentionally harming anyone, say what you really feel.

4. Trying to be perfect
Get in touch with your authentic self. Tap into your innermost thoughts and emotions. Stop putting others on a pedestal while you beat yourself up over your own flaws.
5. Making everyone happy
Stop trying to please everyone. At the end of the day, someone is always going to have a problem with who you are and what you do.
6. Succumbing to emotional abuse
Recognize when you are being dominated, betrayed, guilt-tripped, or made to feel bad about yourself. Stop letting anyone project their own insecurities onto you.
7. Assuming that the world is a fair place
Stop living in denial and face the reality of the situation. Don’t let your naivety and excessive idealism blind you from seeing the truth.
8. Saying Yes when you want to say No
You have a voice, you deserve an opinion, and your sense of self-worth is not dependent on external approval.
