Hmmm

Another good one that kinda ties in with respecting yourself combined with not getting walked all over is simply being aware of your limits.

If you get upset and people tell you that you get upset over nothing, accept that they're not going to get upset over it but try to help them to understand that if "it" was nothing to you... then obviously you wouldn't be upset.

Never extend or disregard your own personal limitations, never compromise morals or values or integrity because someone else told you that "You get upset too easily" or "You don't accept me for who I am" or any other combination remotely similar to that.

If a person is willing to drop their association with you simply because you won't let them treat you like dirt or you're sticking to your own limitations and standing by what you believe in then no matter how hard it may hurt at the time, remember that they're not worth your time / attention anyways.

I speak from experience and it's taken me over 2 yrs to reach a point where I can remotely believe that I'm a half decent human being. I come across as quite snotty and snobby and bitchy a lot of the time as well, but I don't have any patience for anybody who tries my boundaries and disrespects my values or morals. I'm not the most "popular" by a long shot, but the friends that I do have I know I can trust with anything.
