If you want to be a doormat you have to lay yourself down first.

Summary

This quote implies that if one wants to be taken advantage of or treated like a doormat, they must willingly allow others to walk all over them. It suggests that individuals are responsible for setting appropriate boundaries and standing up for themselves. By metaphorically "laying themselves down" or willingly surrendering their power and self-worth, one opens the door for others to mistreat them. Therefore, to avoid being treated as a doormat, one must assert their worth and establish boundaries that command respect.
