The first thing that comes to mind is when being such a doormat actually affected one of my friends negatively. They told me they started developing an aversion towards me because they were always questioning whether I was truthful in anything I said or if I was just saying that to please them. Being perceived as an ingenuine friend led me to compromise myself, which only turned me into the thing I feared. We're still friends to this day and that's because I've worked and continue to work on being more bold. The most recent achievement I've made is privately messaging my friends daily and starting the conversation first, two things I was deathly afraid of doing because I didn't want to be annoying or a bother (doormat mentality). Hopefully I can keep this good momentum going!! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
