NO!

The hardest thing for a person who has been codependent all of their lives to do is to say NO! For me I had grown so accustomed of being mistreated and I just wanted so desperately to be treated nicely. It was even more traumatizing being around people who being treated so well and it made me believe that I deserved what was happening to me. Rejection causes an unhealthy desire for acceptance, and you feel accepted when people choose you. This can easily be a form of manipulation because abusive people assess your need to be needed. They have learned how to exploit you for whatever resource you are to them. People know that you can't say No.

I often think to myself, why would I continue to show up this way. I am clearly a rare type of person. I care more about the wellbeing of others because I know what it feels like to have no one care for you or about you. I give easily because I have extensive experience of being in need. I'm naturally compassionate because I have spent the majority of my life in tears. I am a treasure in this cold world of selfish hearts and motives. Why would I continue to allow heartless individuals who have perceived that I am looking to receive what I give, but they have no intentions of reciprocating. I had to familiarize myself with the word NO!

NO. I will not give of myself endlessly and fail to receive the honor and respect that I so easily give to others. NO, I will not continue to operate in the faulty mindsets that have kept me trapped in wicked cycles of abuse. NO, I will not deplete myself for people who could careless that I am on empty. NO, I WILL NOT ACCEPT ABUSE FROM ANYONE! FRIENDS FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS LEADERS.. NO... I will believe what Jesus said about me, that I am a treasured possession. I will NOT allow myself to be abused anymore in this life. To every person that has been exposed spiritually as a Narcissist operating under a Jezebel Spirit... my answer is NO. No more access to me and No I don't feel bad about it.
