[quote=Anonymous]Can you give an example? I have been in this situation before, when I was a bit younger (early to mid 30s) and the answer was that (1) I had to learn not to be a doormat and to just say no when people tried to take advantage of my manners or flexible nature, and (2) I removed myself from a group where there were multiple women who wanted to take advantage of me in that way, and the others didn't view it as a problem. But knowing more specifically how this unfolds might help. In my case, I realized these women weren't really my friends, and just viewed me as like a useful idiot (I'm not an idiot, I'm a people pleaser due to having been hit and neglected as a child, but they were happy to chalk it up to me just being too dumb to stand up to them). So moving on from that group was the obvious right answer and I have zero regrets -- I needed to get hose people out of my life.[/quote]
