Tired of being taken For-Granted. The Truth may be something else.

You are assertive and in control of your life. But somewhere along the way, you start to realize that the people around you are taking you and the things you do for them for granted almost all the time!

You may be kind and caring. And you may go out of your way often to please your lover and pamper them. But what do you do when your indulgences are taken for granted and turn into expectations?

Is that what you’ve been feeling lately? This feeling becomes stronger as one ages. Because the bullshit wall starts to thin down and you can only take so much. You start to value yourself and only want to spend your time and energy on what truly matters.

Is this who you currently are?

• You feel you are not treated with respect
• You feel your coworkers or family are taking decisions without involving you
• You are doing almost everything all the time. No one else seems to be contributing
• You feel less confident after every interaction causing a low self-esteem
• Your needs are almost never met, however much you give to others
• Your Point of view is never considered, hence you’ve stopped contributing to conversations
