Hey, new user here and am searching for someone who has had a similar experience and overcame it.
My whole life I have struggled with people disrespecting me…I never know how to respond…it always throws me off guard when people disrespect me verbally. I always toil with whether I want to walk around with a guard up or just think who cares just let it happen… I think this is partially a reason I have done martial arts, I am no coward and have fought competitively so I can handle physical confrontation.
I think this steps from my dad always belittling and making me feel inadequate. I can take it myself I don’t care that much but I have 2 young kids and I would hate for them to go through these feelings that I have as well. How can I learn to stand up for myself? Should I become the grouchy always on guard person? I feel like that is a weak way of being.
Please help.
