If you are someone who always keeps saying sorry to others for the mistakes that you have not even done or were a part of it knowingly or unknowingly then you are someone who likes to please others to be in their good books. You want to get appreciated for being a “mahaan” human being and that motivates you to adjust, compromise, sacrifice to an extreme extent all the time.
Saying sorry doesn’t make you small in true relationships
However, if people are taking undue advantage of your simplicity and naiveness and causing trouble to your life unnecessarily then it is time for you to up your self-respect and put your foot down. You cannot entertain everyone all the time and act as per their wishes or needs just because they consider you liable for all the wrong things that happen in their lives.

We live in an independent country that is democratic as well. However, many people still don’t get the fact that manipulation, controlling, emotional abuse doesn’t last long to have healthy relationships. In the journey called life if we are looking for genuine people and true bonds that are ever-lasting then we need to ensure that we give respect and at the same time also take respect from people.
If you live with a group of people who take you for granted all the time and have no account for all that you are doing for them despite being in pain or misery then you are doing more wrong to yourself than the ones who are doing it with you. You need to ensure that people treat you well and that comes only when you treat yourself with care, love, and respect. Set an example yourself first of how you think of yourself and then set an expectation from others to follow the suit. If you show how sacrificing and bending you are all the time with everyone, then you are hurting yourself more than anyone else in this world can do.
