I can’t help but wonder why many successful and educated souls prefer to be ‘doormats’ in relationships.

Most dictionaries define ‘doormat’ as ‘one who submits freely to domination and enjoys being used by others. He/she would put the rights of others before his or her your own rights and also happiness.

And these people can relate very well to:

"I don't matter" or "My feelings aren't important."

But why?

Quote Diana Ross from the movie Mahogany “Success is nothing if you have no one to share it with” – because of this one has to settle with the 6th or 7th best and be a doormat!!! Oh Puhlease...

How does one get out of this mode?



And one more thing dear souls -- Do you need the roof to fall on you???
