The Verywell Mind Podcast’s“Friday Fix” is a short episode that features a quick, actionable tip or exercise to help you manage a specific mental health issue or concern.

Have you ever allowed someone to put you down? Have you tolerated broken promises over and over again? Have you put up with someone who treats you poorly?

If so, you’re not alone. We all have likely let someone mistreat us at one time or another.

That’s not to say you always need to address mistreatment. If someone cuts in front of you in line, you might decide just to let it go.

But repeated mistreatment from a friend, family member, colleague, or acquaintance can be a problem.

Some mistreatment might involve outright disrespect. At other times, mistreatment might be more subtle like snarkybackhanded complimentsorgaslighting.

Signs You Might Be In an Unhealthy Relationship, And What to Do

While you can’t control how other people behave,you can control how you respondto them.

If you’ve allowed someone to treat you poorly and didn’t address their behavior, it’s important to consider why.

It may have to do with the other person—like you fear what would happen if you spoke up. Or, it may have more to do with you—like you fear what would happen to you if the other person stopped being in your life.

Once you understand why you allow mistreatment to happen, you can take helpful action.

In this episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I explain the top seven reasons why you might allow someone to mistreat you. I also share how you can take steps to move forward in a healthy way if someone treats you poorly.
