“By not standing up for themselves when it is appropriate, many
[Survivors] damage their self -esteem. They become angry and ashamed of
themselves for putting up with inappropriate behavior. The more they put up
with, the worse they feel. Soon, they begin to believe they don’t have a right
to complain and convince themselves they are making a big thing out of
nothing.” ~Beverly Engel, Nice Girl Syndrome
