The Doormat Effect

By J.S MAKKAR

Do you feel like people approach you easily when they need help, comfort, or understanding, but seem distant or unavailable when you need the same? Do you find yourself carrying more than your share, staying quiet to keep things smooth, and slowly realizing that your value is tied more to what you give than to who you are? The Doormat Effect explores why the people who care the most are often the ones most taken for granted, how kindness turns into silent obligation, and how being strong becomes a reason others stop showing up. This book is not about blame or empowerment slogans; it is about recognizing a quiet pattern where availability replaces intimacy, patience becomes expectation, and self-erasure is mistaken for maturity, until one day you realize you are needed but not protected-and that cost has been accumulating all along.
