TeresaMay - You are 100% right on in this observation! This applies in every area of our life. Think about the last time someone recommended a great movie to you. When you see they are excited - you can tell. You can tell if they really liked the movie or if it was just ok by they way they talk and how they carry themselves, or by the way their eyes light up when they talk about it.

In the same way, people can sense when you have low self esteem, and they know that you are somebody they can use or abuse or simply walk over and you won't put up a fuss or a fight. It is sad that some people operate this way, but it is part of human nature sometimes. You even see this in little kids - the timid ones are the ones that end up doing whatever everyone else decides they should do.

Thanks for sharing that GREAT observation with us
