Mumbai: Women are emotionally driven and they often succumb to their heart even when they know it would only lead to more misery and disappointment. Most men take advantage of this weakness of women to serve their purpose. A woman must under no circumstance turn into a doormat and let the man make the most of her genuine feelings for him.

In this post, we will take you through five things you need to do to stop being treated as a doormat:

Learn to say ‘NO’: He may try hard to coax you to get his work done. Learn to say ‘NO’. Your love may not matter to him but he may simply be taking advantage of your feelings for him.

Don’t be easily available: Don’t attend his calls or text messages. If he asks you out for a date, do not say yes immediately. He must realise that you are difficult to reach and won’t be available so easily.

Spend time with friends who truly care for you: People often tend to get carried away when in love. They often forget their friends who have been with them through thick and thin. Friends make life joyful. Let him know that you have other people in your life who treat you with respect.

Learn how to treat yourself respectfully: If you don’t have self-respect, the world will treat you badly. To win respect from others, you must first start respecting yourself.

Cut all communications: You may have realised that he attends your call only when he needs you. He may never be there by your side when you are in need of him. So why do you even need to be in touch with someone who cares least about you.
