It’s not enough to know yourself. You must like yourself as well. If you like and respect you, others usually follow suit. They wouldn’t dream of treating you any way you wouldn’t treat yourself.
When you like you, you don’t let people walk over you, abuse you, or say horrible things to you. You know how you fit into the world. You come from a position of self-respect and in turn demand that respect from others. If you are being treated poorly and consistently spoken to in an abusive manner in your relationship, you are treating yourself poorly by staying in that relationship. The first step to changing this situation is to like yourself enough to get out! Get out immediately! The book Toxic People—10 Ways of Dealing with People Who Make Your Life Miserable, gives you all the steps you need to unplug from this extremely toxic situation.
