My wish for everyone in 2015 Stamp Out Doormatism By Rose Gardner It is almost 2015. A time for enlightenment and acceptance. With acceptance brings power. Gays are out of their closets, speaking up for equal rights and respect. Doormats muddle through as matty messes feeling isolated and manipulated. We need validation. ‘The Society for Recovering Doormat’s allows us to meet like-minded peeps. ‘The Society’ is a safe house where we pick ourselves up off of the floor and speak loudly for what we want. Speaking up and refusing acceptance of what doesn’t align with our needs and moral compass is a major step for a mat. This concept isn’t novel. In Paris there’s ‘The Society for Encouragement’. I’m sure it has nothing to do with helping doormats, but wouldn’t it be great if it did? And there are countless books written and programs designed by shrinks, and psychologists all offering advice and everyday strategies. Helping the mat has been a valiant, on-going effort. I find that mats are docile, loving, trusting and non confrontational peeps with low self esteem. Easy targets for individuals with manipulative, self serving agendas. It’s due time we raise our collective consciousness and put an end to doormatism. We’ve been ignored for too long. Seen, but not heard, used and abused. I say “no more on the floor!” A question that’s been buzzing around ‘The Society’ is: “How do I know if I am a doormat?” Most peeps don’t realize they’re a mat until after a visit to “The Society for Recovering Doormat’s.” During our formative years we are blissfully unaware of our mat status. But the cumulative damage from years of people pleasing and accommodating others renders us into submission and alas we are destined to doormatism. We smile to mask our pain but are silently miserable from neglecting our personal needs. If this sounds like you, then you are a doormat. I am not a medical professional, or a psychologist. Just a recovering doormat trying to help as many doormats as I can. One mat at a time. Wishing all who visit, comment and share The Society for Recovering Doormats a very happy, healthy and MAT - NO - MORE 2015. With love and appreciation Rose Gardner. Creator, and admin of this site.
