Everyone gets tread on to some degree. The options are “yes” or “I’m delusional.” ---

For the first time in my life I’m seeing like stickers and magnets on the vehicles of people so far to my left that it isn’t even funny. There is this odd disconnect from government in general from both extremes that I can’t recall seeing before. ---

> [@CCitizen](#): > > Many people to whom I am nice tread on me. I usually do not argue with them, but run away virtually or in real life. Saying no to someone does not mean you aren’t nice. Asking for your due does not mean you aren’t nice. Likewise, and this isn’t your problem I know, not getting everything you want does not mean you are being tread on. Life is compromise, which means you have to give some but you also have to ask for some. ---

I have no idea how to answer this question, so I will answer with another song. I get knocked down, but I get up again, you’re never going to keep me down. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-people-tread-on-you/751776.md?page=1)
