How to Stop Being a Doormat and Build Real Self-Respect

#psychology #podcast #selfimprovement

Why do some people always end up as doormats—letting others walk all over them and sacrificing their needs for the sake of harmony? In this episode, we break down the real psychology behind self-sacrifice, explain why being a doormat is rarely about weakness, and lay out a step-by-step approach for breaking the cycle and building genuine self-respect. You’ll learn how to recognize the hidden need for control behind people-pleasing, why “just being assertive” doesn’t work, and what it actually takes to develop real agency in your relationships and daily life.
