6 Ways to Get People to Respect You (Avoid Being Taken Advantage Of)


Do you often find yourself being taken advantage of?Perhaps you're often talked down to and treated as less than.

Sometimes people can be harsh and judgmental.And you may feel as if they don't hold any respect for you.

It's not always nice to hang around those who don't value you.So, if given the chance,it may be best to simply walk away,and say good riddance.

But, if you find you're always being subtly treated this way maybe you'd like to adopt some behaviors to gain respect.

You can still be you.You just simply respect yourself enough,to not let others walk all over you.Sound like a plan?

Okay.

Here are six ways to get people to respect you.

Number one, Respect yourself first.

We should all learn to love ourselves.And in doing so,give us the respect we deserve.Often at times we can be too harsh on ourselves,and let our insecurities and dark thoughts take the lead.

But do away with them.With a little practice self-respect,you can be on your way to thinking higher of yourself and loving you in the process.

Many researchers, such as Herbert M. Lefcourt,state that having a sense of internal locus of control,over our own lives,is a key condition for our mental health.

Locus of control,refers to how much someone feels a sense of agency towards their life.

Someone with an internal locus of control believes the things that happened to them are strongly influenced by their own actions,abilities or mistakes.

  • To practice self-respect,you must first allow yourself to say no,without feeling guilty.
  • Prioritize what is important in your life.
  • Protect yourself.
  • And choose to keep only healthy relationships.It's key to not let others take advantage of you.
  • And make sure you get what you pay for in life.

So if you're at an ice cream stand,and you paid for two scoops of ice cream,and only received one,instead of brushing it off,simply ask that you receive that extra chocolate scoop,and don't feel guilty about it.It's just ice cream, and you're hungry.

Your priority right now is to satisfy your appetite.And guess what?Ice cream is the way.Two scoops please.

Furthermore, it's important to knowyou can create your own happiness,not just others.

This is a form of self-respect as well.So go ahead and enjoy those two scoops.You respect yourself too much to not appreciate themand you.

Number two. Set clear boundaries.

It's important to set boundaries for ourselves and others.

Let's say your friend often comes over to your housefor movie night.You love and care for your friend.But they aren't the most respectful guests.

  1. They put their feet up on your coffee table.
  2. They bring their dog fleas over.
  3. They eat most of your food
  4. They leave Cheeto Puff remainson your furniture, everywhere.

Do they respect you?It doesn't look like it.

A good step would be to set some boundaries for when company comes over.And discuss them with your dear friend.You can be kind when discussing this with them and consider their point of view as well.

But it's your home,and it's ultimately your rules.So tell them they can't keep scavenging through your fridge.Fleas must be on a leash,and to keep their cheese-filled hands to themselves.Not on the furniture.And pause off the table, fleas.

Number three,

Understand you don't have to be nice all the time.

Who wouldn't wanna be nice when they want to?But when you feel like you have to,at the expense of your own happiness,it's not a good idea.

Sadly, a lot of people think,they can take advantage of those who are kind to them.

This doesn't mean you have to stop being a good person.Just simply know when you must put yourself first,and also don't feel guilty about it all the time.

You may think that if you don't do every favor your friend asks of you,they might not like you anymore.

But what kind of friend is that?You may feel guilty if you don't accept your friend's invitation to hang out every time.But you just got snuggled into a bubble bath.

You just like to be alone tonight.Perhaps you don't allow yourself to not smile.So you throw on a contrived smile before you go out the door,even when you're having a bad day,as great as smiling feels.

A forced smile can't always make you feel better.Allow yourself to admit you're having a bad day.

You don't need to be in a certain mood for anyone.Allowing unnecessary guilt to take control can leave you associating these one's happy actions with something forced and uncomfortable.

Practice assuring yourself,that if you allow yourself,the guilt free time to relax first,you'll only feel happier when the time comes to hang out with your friend next.

Number four. Speak up

Many of us often have shy personalities.So doing all the talking during a group conversation may not be our thing.

But just because you're shy,doesn't mean you should let others interrupt you.If others often interrupt you,or appear as if they aren't listening,there's some tricks you can use to make yourself heard.

First, try saying the name of the person you're speaking to mid conversation.

Similar to the cocktail party effect,we will often have our attention pulled back to reality when our names are heard.

Such as when we're at a cocktail party and here our name in the distance.You know how your music teacher would always say your name mid sentence to regain your attention?We're doing the same thing here.

Another trick is to often use hand gestures,and give an equal amount of eye contact to everyone.Using hand gestures grabs attention,and strongly conveys your message.

Eye contact.If someone was looking into the depths of your soul,you'd be bound to notice.Just make sure you give everyone,equal amounts of eye contact.Maybe no soul staring today.

Number five. Don't over-apologize.

Do you often find yourself apologizing for something that wasn't even your fault?It may just become habit to say, sorry when something goes wrong.You may only wanna say it to not be unkind.

But your words should carry weight,especially in apology.If you apologize too often,your sorry maybe viewed as nothing to others who hear it too often.

And unfortunately,over-apologizing can be a sign to others that you are submissive.Sooner or later, they'll assume,you'll be the one to take the blame.Or that you're too nice to speak up if they walk all over you.

Some common things we unnecessarily apologize for.If you don't wanna do a favor, don't apologize.

-It's a favor.

-If you have an opposing opinion,agree to disagree.

It's your opinion.Stand by it.

*Remember, you don't have to be unkind.Say sorry, when sorry is do.

But be conscious of how often and how unnecessarily you do say it.

Number six,

Display confident body language.

Confidence is key.And that's what people often say.And it can be very true most times.

If you want to command respect,a good way is to let your body language show,that you can't be pushed around.

Quite literally too.

Strong stance and good posture won't send you toppling over if bumped into.So, use good posture and stand up tall,make good eye contact when listening and speaking.

Crossing our arms is often seem as defensive.So it's best to relax them by your side.

Carry your head high and eyes forward,instead of looking to the ground.Observe the scene at a party,don't be afraid to people watch.And it's a party after all.

And remember those hand gestures,continue to use them while speaking.And you'll be as confident and respected as an international leader.

So, do you often feel disrespected?

Will you use these tips?

Do you say sorry, often?

Let me know about a time where you felt disrespected.

Which tips would you use to command the respect of others?

Things That INSTANTLY Make You Look CHEAP | HOW TO LOOK EXPENSIVE on a BUDGET in 2023




Hello good people ,am going to be shaking some tables here so come closer.  Let me tell you why you always look cheap isn't that amazing.

This article is for those who want to know more about looking Chic and looks expensive without breaking the bank.  I'll be sharing some common ways you're making your outfit look cheap and what you could do instead . 

This video is not to brush anyone, but just to say that it is and hopefully some people can make the changes that they seek. If however you

dress or  your look makes you happy, do you Boo and pro that style is pretty much subjective. 

 You look cheap by :

 Wearing different logos in one outfit

  • Looking expensive has little or nothing to do with money, let that sink in as a matter of fact.  You can be wearing all the designers on Earth and still look very cheap to the person sitting next to you. 
  • I understand I can be a nice touch to add a designer logo here and there to your outfit however,adding too much is a major fashion faux fur button designer logos from head to toe will make your outfit look less polished and honestly cheaply done.
  •  The best way I would say to wear designer logos without overdoing them is by choosing one piece that makes your outfit stand out instead of wearing Gucci tights ,Fendi t-shirts, LV earrings,Mac and Mac poems ,YSL bag, in one look.
  •  I would suggest you choose one or at most two designer items to Showcase in one outfit whether it's your belt, your shoes,your dress or any other accessory . 
Do not go all out with a lot of designers in one look, you might think it makes you look expensive and ready to show the whole world that you can afford these thin

2. Wig cap wearing outside

  • Maybe we should stop it. I go out and I see people with wig cap, you know that normal Brown recap that they give you as compliments when you get weaker. If you get weak from chess's you get that complimentary wig cap right
  • wearing your Bonnet outside ,I think Ican sound that better than seeing you with wig cap outside that makes you look very cute. 
  • If your wig is in the salon,you're going to pick it up don't wear that. You're getting on the road instead inside go to the salon , fix your hair and come out or even tie a scarf.

 3.Primary colors and plain clothing black

  • Using the method of wearing a singular color all over from head to toe has a term: monochrome. 
  • Monochromatic looks have become all the rage in the past years. With head to toe red, blue, or yellow, you can stand out while looking polished and cohesive! A tip is to try and match each shade correctly so that the look is more tied together. 
  • If you’re experimenting with hues, then go for a mixture or bolder and darker shades. During the cold winter months, opting for a primary colored coat and matching your outfit is the way to go. Your outfit will end up looking like a pull from an editorial shoot—and that’s always the best feeling. 
  • white colors make you look very crisp very smart and they make you look expensive .

Undergarments showing from your clothing

  • Panty lines are caused by poor-fitting or poorly constructed undies combined with lightweight or tight clothes. Heavy seams on panties are the most common culprit. Those seams either sit on top of a woman’s rump, creating a ridge line, or they dig into the backside, leaving an indentation. Either way, anyone standing behind you will have full knowledge of the shape of your underwear.

  • If you decide to wear share clothing invest in um seamless undergarments in nude color in black or in the color of the outfit that you have on with thistype of undergarments you can really. 
  • Wear a dress or your favorite pants andnot have to worry about panty lines.

Don't dress for your body type

  • I'm Pro confident self-love body positivity but let me break it to you.That BBL dress you see hanging in the boutique or that dress they say one size fits all does not necessarily mean that it is for your body type . You don't have the body type of the person that they intended the dress to be for so . Why squeeze yourself into it , Why for goodness sake you could be wearing adress that is so expensive but once it's. ill-fitting.
So please dress for your body type I have a video about in the video there are  different outfits for different body types. 

Wearing cheap looking Fabrics

  • Cheap looking Fabrics are a short sign of looking cheap.  It's even worse whent the fabric is now expensive purchased at higher price and then it ends up looking cheap .
  •  Another thing,when shopping from affordable Brands  stick with theFabrics like cotton silk and satin. It might be cheap price wise, but have an expensive Outlook .
If you know what I mean basically, I would just say stay for clear Fabrics or materials that can be done well on a budget.

Heavy makeup

Please avoid heavy makeup at all cost,no matter how strong the urge is.  Why you're not a clown, don't go heavy on the eyes and the lip at the same time, you end up

looking very cheap. Less is more in this

department so you don't end up looking

like we make up I always tell people to

tilt more towards the minimal area next

one for me is this one that helps me so

much why do people do that 

using rubber bands to tie your hair to pack your hair

  • Hair Packers are the cheapest hair accessories you can get,why do you still have to opt for rubber band. First of all you're even spoiling your extension,  your natural hair and it is not flashing at . 
  • I can be admiring someone's look ,right once you turn back and I see the rubber band to tie your hair, it just takes that admiration to what was she was thinking. 
  • Hair bands are legit the cheapest hair accessories available Just try and invest in some . You can get a pack for less than two dollars in PrimeMarket, I think they sell it for like one pound for a pack of 20 or more. 

 Wearing rumpled clothes

 It's difficult to fit in ironing time when you are running multiple businesses. Invest in clothing that don't require ironing and for the ones that you can't even do without ironing. 

  • If ironing is not your favorite right Outsource it or just plan yourself in such a way that you iron once a week and throughout that week .You don't have to bother about ironing. wherever wrong foot closing is

18 Important Things Babies Are Trying to Tell You



Every parent knows the first year with a baby is both challenging and exciting.

Your baby cries all the time, goes 'neh!', grabs their ears, and you have no idea what any of this means!

Luckily, some experts decoded this unique baby language, and I'm here to share the clues you’ll need to figure out what your little bundle is trying to say.

Let's start with the way your baby cries.During the first four months of life, crying is the main way babies express their needs.

Here are seven types of cries to listen for and what they mean:

A calling cry

 Ever heard your baby cry for about 5 or 6seconds, and then pause for the next 20 seconds?That's a calling cry!This means that your baby has been alone for a while and now desperately needs your attention.

If you don't respond right away, you'll hear this fascinating cycle of crying a couple more times.So pick your baby up and give them all the loving they need!

A hunger cry 

This type of cry is very similar to a calling cry with one little catch – if you don't get in there right away, the crying becomes hysterical quickly.Your baby may also start rotating their head and making smacking sounds with their mouth.This is a clear sign that it's time to feed.

A pain cry

 If you hear a pain cry once, you'll never confuse it with any of the others.This crying is flat and constant.But small hysterical outbursts mean the pain is increasing and you should call the doctor as soon as possible.This type of crying is also very loud, unless your baby isn't strong enough to make loud noises.

A physiological cry 

Babies deal with all kinds of bodily functions like us, from having gas to peeing and pooping.And these can cause them more discomfort than you think!Thankfully, babies usually let you know right away by whining and squeaking as they cry.

A sleep cry

 Sleep is another problem for babies – sometimes they just can't!In this case their crying sounds like an offended and smooth whining, followed by loads of yawning.Sleepy babies also tend to rub their eyes and ears, so you can look out for these redflags as well.

A discomfort cry 

This crying sounds very irritated and often comes together with fidgeting.Your baby can also flail their arms and legs and arch their backs.This usually means time to check their diaper or change their clothes.They may either be too hot or too cold.

A bored cry 

This one is extremely common – your baby cries, you try doing everything you can but still can't figure out what's wrong.Easy, your baby is simply frustrated or bored!Take them for a walk outside or around the house.A simple environment change can stop the crying quickly.

Okay, so now that you got the different crying scenarios down, it's time to talk about the other sounds your baby makes.Yup, all these strange sounds have their own meaning!

Australian pediatrician Dr. Priscilla Dunstan has been studying early childhood sounds for more than 20 years.She examined 3 to 4-month old babies of different nationalities during her research.

According to Dunstan, your baby starts actively making communication sounds only after 4 months old.

Before that the sounds are just a primary reflex that needs to be figured out.So here's a little “sound” cheat sheet:

 • “Neh” means “Hey, I'm hungry here,feed me!”

This sound comes from your baby pushing their tongue up to the roof of their mouth, triggering the sucking reflex.

• “Eh” is “I think I'm gonna burp now!”

With that, the excess air starts leaving the baby's esophagus, and your baby tries to release it from their mouth.

• “Owh” means “I'm so sleepy and tired!”Your baby just folds their lips before yawning and this sound comes out!

• “Heh” is baby speak for “I'm not feeling it, I’m uncomfortable.”The main reason is probably an unpleasant feeling of some sort.The baby can give away their feelings by constantly moving and jerking their hands and feet as well.

• “Eairh” indicates “I have a sore tummy, help!”This strange sound can turn into a moan, as your baby stretches the belly and exhales.

Don't ignore these symptoms - take action right away.And that's basically all the baby sounds you need to know!Feel like a baby whisperer yet?

Wait, I have one more important lesson for you – baby movements.

Small babies have their own body language that can help you detect their needs and moods.

Let’s take a look:

Arching their backs, Parents know that babies under 2 months old arch their backs a lot. In most cases it's just a typical response to pain or colic but there are a couple of exceptions to this rule.

If your baby arches their back during eating, it's a sign of reflux, after eating it means they're full.And if your baby has passed the 2-month old mark but still does it, no need to worry – they're simply tired or in a bad mood.

Rotating their head This is your baby's way of calming down.You usually see it when they're about to fall asleep or hang out with people they don'tknow yet.Good news is that you can help your baby. Just gently rub their back and they'll instantly relax.

Grabbing their ears This may look pretty scary but it's completely natural – your baby is simply exploring their body!However, if ear rubbing is followed by intense crying, you should definitely visit the doctor to find the source of the problem.

Clenching their fists Fist or no fist shows how hungry your baby is.A perfectly relaxed hand means that they're full, while strong fist shows that they need baby food right this minute.Noticing this little detail in time can help you prevent the hungry crying and save you tons of time and stress!

Lifting their legs During the first months of your baby's life,colic and tummy pain are almost inevitable.Your baby tries to cope with it on their own by lifting their legs to ease those unpleasant sensations.But any additional help from you is totally welcome, tummy rubs are awesome!

Jerking their arms Loud sounds, bright lights, and sudden wake-ups provoke the startle reflex in little babies.As a result, they jerk their arms out of fear.

In this case, your job is to comfort your baby and make sure that they're alright.And that’s it!That's everything you need to know to read your baby's mind!

Pediatricians recommend parents talk to their babies as often as possible.Show them all the things around them, explain how they work, or tell cool stories, even if you feel like they don't understand you.

This type of constant communication will help them develop their own individual sounds and gestures to express their needs better.

Do you have any baby communication tricks of yourown?
