The fact is that people will tell you how they
plan on treating you in under 10 seconds from the time you first meet
them. Think back…I’ll wait.
From the job candidate who showed up a half-hour
late, to the date that didn’t show up at all but called back two days later
asking for a re-schedule without an explanation, to the woman at work who one
minute wants to be friends and the next, totally ignores you, these people are
telling you how they will treat you.
Most of us will give people chance after chance
to redeem themselves. We’ll enable their
bad behavior with co-dependency and then, when we can’t get the other person to
change, we look around for someone to blame.
Truly, it is your responsibility to separate the
wheat from the chaff, to separate the quality from the filler, to
distinguish what’s worth keeping and
what needs to be tossed out, what will help and nurture you and what needs to
be left on the threshing floor.
