Like one time I let my friend borrow money because I liked her a lot...... but then I found out she was taking me for granted, I told her about it and said I didn't appreciate it. Is a door mat someone who doesn't stick up for himself?

A door mat usually is a mat on the front of your house to that you wipe your feet on to keep the dirt of you the house.
But i suppose you could look at this as a metaphor
Normally people say they feel like a doormat when they've being used , alot like a doormat , to clean their feet, and leave you there , out on the front porch , in the cold , with no warm meal , or blanket.
I like to think of myself as a door mat , but not any ordinary doormat , i have that novelty font on the front of me that's says "this is the cats house , dont forget it" , These leaves me thinking that not only am i not the boss , but nor are the people who are using me , my cat will always be the boss.
you can interpret this metaphor however you like , it was suppose to be positive.
good luck

its kind of like that but a doormat is something like when you let a person walk all over you and you do't do nothing about it that is what a door mat is i hope you are telling your friend to stop trying to walk all over you and try to be a good friend and go get a job and help each other out instead of taking money away from you how about she try and give you money once in a while.

Well, a door mat is what sits on the ground in front of your door for people to walk on and wipe their shoes on. When someone calls you a doormat they mean that you let people walk all over you and let them take advantage of you.

Pretty much you let people walk all over you. You don't say no often if at all. Kind hearts make you into a door mat when someone wants something they come to you. Learn to say no and stand up for yourself, even if it means losing a so called friend such as her.

A door mat is what you wipe your feet on and walk over before entering a home or building. Thus when a person is referred to as a doormat, they are considered one who is easily walked over. So to answer your question... Yes --a doormat is someone who doesn't stand up for themselves.

A door mat is someone who stays with someone even when the other person continues to treat them bad and disrespects them.

A doormat is someone who lets themselves be walked all over. In other words, taken for granted, treated like a fool or used.
