This is a saying by a friend of mine. It helps me to put some things into perspective. Anyone?

I agree whole heartedly. This is why children raised around grandparents and community involved stay at home parents tend to know better how to interact with others because they learn through observation and directly through role-modeling from us and simple reinforcements and punishments.
How we respond to others lets them know what to do to get your response. Also, talking calmly - as is taught in most masters level courses and any police or disaster preparedness class will tell you how you interact with someone will largely affect how they interact back with you.
Think about Hostage Negotiators. They instantly have to establish a certain rapport based on how they treat the hostile person.

There are some behaviors and personality ticks that others will never change all that dramatically, no matter how we choose to portray ourselves. However, humans learn by example and are very receptive to 'vibes' that an individual gives off. If we radiate a 'touch me and I'll kick you in the groin' vibe, then chances are, most people will pick up on that. If we exhibit a weak, low self-esteem then many will pick up on that also, and likely take advantage of that trait.

I agree. However people treat you....that's how you allow them to. If someone disrespects you, and you inform them that they did so, and that you will not tolerate it again, then if they do it again, you have to hold strong to whatever consequence you decided would be applicable to this situation and carry it out. They will either conform having understood your point or not care and continue doing so. At that time you should decide whether or not to ever deal with that person again because they have no respect for your feelings. (That's just an example)

I agree.
When we demonstrate that we place a very high value on ourselves, they are forced (there are some who are hopeless) to respect our space.
People treat you differently from others as long as they know you will not tolerate certain behaviour patterns and you do not need to be rude or insulting about it; just firm about who you are.

i DEFIANTLY AGREE. For me I was a very timid person and couldn't make up my mind, I think I drove people crazy with my indecision, and half hearted attempts to do anything. most people are very kind but I must have really pushed them to their limits and still had them for friends, because that sort of person drives me up the wall, and I have to force myself not to blow them off

I agree, it's basic behaviorism psychology, the (currently) most accepted form.

i think we dont actually teach them, we give them an idea of how we would like to be treated. they could easily go home and be an *** hole.
