I just turned up to listen to one of your videos. And this comes right in time. This is not always easy when we love someone that has his own things to deal with. To see the other suffering but not being able to break the shell and being the punching ball... At some point maybe the best is to go. Thank you. That gives me food for thought.
I'm glad this video resonates with you at this moment. Relationships can indeed be challenging, especially when we see loved ones struggling. It's tough to balance supporting them while also taking care of our own well-being. Sometimes, stepping back can be the healthiest choice. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Not only did she leave me, she crushed me emotionally. I’m very slowly picking up the pieces of my life. It’s a slow process and it’s a leaning experience
Thanks for your comment! We can't know the details, but like all of us, Stoics seem to have their faire share of drama. Fortunately,, these experiences led to reflection and growth, offering valuable lessons for us all today.
That's wonderful to hear! I'm happy that the content of hte channel is supporting your personal growth. Keep up the great work, and thank you for being part of our community!
Absolutely, silence can be incredibly powerful. It’s amazing how much we can learn from being present and reflecting quietly. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
They have this evil ability to convince even those closest to you that they are kind and loving. Making you look like a paranoid nut a paranoid nut ... Very draining people, like energy vampires.
Dealing with people who drain your energy can be incredibly challenging.Your awareness of this dynamic is important for maintaining your own emotional health. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have always been amazed by long term couples. Always wonder how they do it... With hyour video, I know what i have been missing. I think the notion of respect if very important, but i have not applied it to myself : respect my own needs... and not pretend we are compatible when we know from the beginning its not gonna work.
Long-term relationships are indeed complex and also a great environment to know ourselves better and grow. I’m glad the video provided clarity on respecting your own needs. Thank you for sharing your reflections!Thank you for sharing your reflections!
I appreciate your recommendation! It’s great to hear that you think this advice is valuable for teenagers.Integrating these principles early on can significantly impact their relationships in a positive way. Your support means a lot and helps spread the message to those who might benefit from it.
I like this "no one cares about your time and your lifeas luch as you,and expecting them to is a recipe for wasting your life ". Everyone must see the best for himself. And find the person that is also on his own way. And then walk together on the same direction.
Absolutely, taking responsibility for your own time and life is key. It’s important to find people who align with your path and walk together in the same direction. Thanks for highlighting this important aspect!
For real. I'm exhausted. They are badly behaved people that have cracked identities and have lost self-awareness because everybody is perceived as a threat. And this is contagious.
@DropOfHuman Thank you for your feedback! I understand your point that some traits associated with narcissism can indeed be found in various individuals. These traits can be harmful, luckily not everyone exhibits them in the same extreme way as narcissists ! It's not easy being human :) We all have our flaws and strengths to deal with. Your insight is appreciated, it gives us food for thought.
@alissanelson1156, Yes, dealing with individuals who project their insecurities onto others can be exhausting. It’s crucial to maintain self-awareness and not let their negativity affect you. Thank you for your insight into this dynamic.
Everyone does that because we are human and believe that other act and think like ourselves its human nature dude not a downfall but a strength the world sides with them because theyre doing right by themselves while being "an empath" is betraying themselves @@TheStoicSageOff
This is dangerous topic because they are saying believing true boundaries putting their self first by taking care of their temple staying private and will do anything and everything to secure their own lives
That's a great overview. Very useful to come back to the super basics and also a good introduction for those who don't know yet stoicism. It's been weeks since I started listening to your content, and thank you for all the angles you cover . Stoicism has so many great tools for everyday life , and it's nice you take the time to put it in a comprehensive manner. It's changing my way of perceiving the world and myself day after day.
I’m delighted to hear that the content is helping you better understand and apply Stoicism. It’s wonderful to know that the various angles we cover are making a meaningful impact on your perception of the world. Your journey with Stoicism is inspiring!
That’s a powerful perspective. Focusing on your own success as a form of 'revenge' aligns well with Marcus Aurelius’ idea of not letting negativity influence you. Investing your energy into personal growth and achievements often proves to be the most fulfilling response to adversity.
I was once taught that the best revenge is your success. Don't waste your precious time with negativity and others opinions. This is close to a Marcus Aurelius quote : “The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.”

I liked the long version. This short version is a great quick reminder. Since I have watched the other one. I have observed that I tend to less offer solution to people. Because everyone has its one way if seeing their world and make their own decisions. What they consider better for themselves. Thank you I will listen to this version again so that it can stick in my head 😂
Yes, I totally agree. There are times when people gave me advices that I didn't want to listen or that I thought were a bit off... Even thought they think the best for me, I could see hw they put their own ideas and limitations on me. Now I can listen to them (it use to make me angry - not very stoic of me ) from what they tell me I can hear the "if I were you..."
I'm pleased you found both the long and short versions valuable! It’s great to hear that the shorter version helps reinforce the idea that people have their own paths and decisions. Recognizing that everyone has their unique perspective can definitely help in offering more thoughtful support. Thank you for engaging under many videos.
It’s insightful that you recognize how advice can sometimes come with unintended personal biases. Listening openly, while also discerning the underlying motives, can help you navigate these interactions more effectively. Thank you for sharing this reflection!
They all speak to me. But since you ask which one i think in this point in time it's lesson 2 "practice makes perfect". But their is one point you bring up which makes the difference : perfect practice makes perfect. That makes me think about the compound effect. The more you do something, the more it grows... I just have to choose what I want.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad that lesson 2, 'practice makes perfect,' resonates with you. You're right about the compound effect-consistent, purposeful practice really does lead to growth. Choosing wisely and focusing on perfect practice can indeed make a significant difference in achieving your goals. Keep at it!
Feeling drained by certain people is understandable. It's essential to prioritize our well-being and seek environments where we feel supported and valued. Thank you for sharing.
I think I am stoic, because i like my own company very much. I use to think I was odd, but I am just me. Thank you, this helps me accept myself more and stop judging myself so much.
It's wonderful to hear that the video resonated with you. Embracing your own company and accepting yourself fully is a powerful step towards personal growth. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I am always looking forward to your videos. The 9th advice is very for me... take action, sometimes I feel like fear is taking a lot of place... I guess this is a journey. At last, with your videos, I can put words on how I feel. Thank you, I like what you do, it helps me to become more Stoic in my life and deal with my emotions.
Thank you for your heartfelt message. It's wonderful to hear that the advice resonates with you. Indeed, growth is a journey. And acknowledging your emotions is a significant step toward becoming more Stoic in life.
I find hard sometimes not to be affected by people's way of being. For me the complainers are a challenge, I just want to go away, and at the same time, I want to keep polite and/or present depending who is the person. I guess, I just need to find a way to tell them I am not interested in hearing alll about their negativity. Everytime I find a positive side, their conteract with more negativity. Like it is stuck on them. Thank you for your advice, I will try to find a different posture.
Dealing with negativity can be challenging. Setting boundaries and focusing on positivity are great strategies. I'm glad the advice in the video resonated with you. Wishing you success in finding a posture that works best for you.
Thank you for highlighting this question among the 6 proposed to understand the true value of time. They are a way to apply Seneca's philosophy in today's life. It reminds us of the preciousness of time. Thank you for sharing the one that resonated with you.
"How can I grow stronger from this experience ?" thank you. This is a question I will remember everyday. I am at the moment right in this sort of situation, and these advice in your video help me greatly. I will try to take emotional distance not to sink also...
I'm so glad the video resonated with you during this challenging time. Taking emotional distance can indeed be a powerful strategy. Wishing you strength and clarity as you navigate this experience.
