Learning to leave the table the moment respect is no longer being served is not arrogance.

It’s a sign of not attributing your self-worth and self-respect to someone else’s behaviour.

If ever for any person, the idea of you respecting that person is you disrespecting yourself, thank them for teaching you well, wish them the very best in life, and show yourself the door.

You are allowed to walk away.
