Tit for tat?

 Have you ever been in a situation where someone treats you like trash? I don’t mean a one time thing. I’m talking about a constant habit. This person has no regard for you, your emotions, your well-being and everything that has to do with you. To the person, it’s like you’re a nobody and your viewpoints have no worth.

To be honest, it’s not surprising and it necessarily isn’t your fault that the person behaves the way he/she does. You try as much as possible to be a good person that you are, only to be treated like crap. You wonder why the person can’t reciprocate the kindness you show but your thoughts do not count because they can’t influence the person’s nature.

Neglected and hurt, you wonder what can be done to change the way things are. Sometimes, you may even contemplate on dancing to the tunes of the person in question, but to be honest, that is not the best way to resolve things.

What then do you do when you’re in this situation? Do you keep on being nice? Do you give up being the nice person you are? Or do you ignore the person? When one treats you poorly, it is irresponsible of you to compromise and treat the person the exact same way you’re being treated. Believe me, I know it hurts, but the best thing is not to neglect your good values simply because you want the person to feel what you go through. Continue to show him/her love in every way you can while maintaining a good mental health.
