If things aren't going well for you, if you feel put down and victimized and if people are picking on you, it might be that you're broadcasting the wrong signals, and to stand up straight.

And to stand up straight and face the world forthrightly means that people will treat you with more respect, and you can get a virtuous spiral developing.
