Sometimes it's not ego, it's self respect

Don't you often make up your mind about treating someone the way they treat you? And when you actually start to behave in the exact way they do, you inevitably begin to feel bad about it, and wage a war against yourself, and sadly, the other person knows nothing about it. When you go through that extreme emotional war, which involves them laughing at you and seeking you only when they need something, you feel your soul demanding and pleading for mercy, freedom recognition and respect, and your ego asking you to wait for the impossible. You slowly begin to give up on such people, and become enlightened enough to give them what they deserve, which does require a lot of courage and positivity, but it opens a door to unpopularity and insecurity, cause such people, who were dependent on you for their benefits, begin to hate your decision and call it your ego, your attitude, your pride, which eventually weakens you into thinking negative about yourself Listen, it isn't your ego. It's your desire, your will and your choice to do what you think is right for you. You aren't a robot, to be used as and when required, and later just thrown away. You are emotional and at the end of the day, it's all about how you feel. Eliminate yourself from everything which makes you feel disrespectful. And if you really want to include yourself in something, work to earn the respect. Don't push yourself into misery, cause it isn't ego which tells you how you feel, it's your soul which reflects the reality. People will push you into the illusion of false pride and will exploit you until you are left with chaos and guilt. Don't let that happen. Ignore people who incite you against yourself. Remember this, if you don't respect yourself, no one else will. The mirage you live in intoxicates you with beauty and happiness, only until the reality shows you who you are. Live how you feel🙏
