And then there's the narcissists and there are 4 types of them!!! Same with toxic always negative people too! Whom mascarade like docile sheep on the outside appearance but inside they are wolves aka predators and full of darkness and death within.. Beware the wolves aka predators! Narcissists are the very worst tho!!! They come from the pits of sheol but wear a mask of deception... very much liken to a chameleon infact..outward show/disguise to fit their surroundings to game and ensnare their prey! This in essence..revelations 13..beast from the land... The Beast from the Earth... 11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb (gentile, kind, serene, docile) but spoke like a dragon aka serpent/snake aka nachash (aka ha satan aka the devil.. full of deceptions, lies, darkness and death within!)

@buahburke9912 10 месяцев назад

I think a lot of people are in this spot thanks to the "Covid-19 BS." What a shocker to see people I respected my entire life as pillars of wisdom fall flat on their faces in panic over the shadows cast by CNN! It's not called "CNN Syndrome" for nothing, entire villages fell for it. Imagine my SHOCK, as World Vision, who I donated to 'long time' sent pastors "of God" out to inject remote villagers, who instinctively knew better! Imagine THEIR shock, as they noticed the angel of death visit more frequently, and they don't have ERs and Medi-Cal to lean on. So evil. So many lies. The death dealer destroyed my life, and just trying to warn others has cost me so many friendships. What a lesson, to try to save that 5-year-old whose mother will now believe it's "normal" to have diabetes or a heart attack- AS A CHILD; to be told "It's long-covid!" when even low IQ know "Sudden Adult Death Syndrome" didn't happen til the vax! What a freaking CROCK! The Bible is entirely correct when it says that the devil comes to lie, kill & destroy. And people who refuse to recognize that it also says, "Be wise as serpents & harmless as doves" will not learn about any wiles of the devil, thinking ignorance is bliss... Hello! Why do you send your son to the military to learn to fight, but refuse him the spiritual wisdom needed to fight the greater danger he faces in everyone he meets? "Fools and blind" is right, as Jesus said... and it takes one to know one. Why do most of us learn the hardest way? The pain of my mistakes haunts me daily.

My mistake is I told my friends why I didn't want to be a part of the group anymore. Even 15 years later they hold a grudge against me, are defensive, and tell themselves their own reason as to why I left such as my mum causing problems. I know now it would have been best to quietly disappear.

@exceptionaltalentspc4954 10 месяцев назад

Most people cannot handle honesty. I have done both, stay away with and without saying why. The first group (family) never bothered to contact me again because they knew exactly why I dissapeared, and some in the second group (friends) still reach out to me from time to time only to critize the fact that I'm keeping my distance.

@outerspace7 10 месяцев назад

I had once contemplated being fully honest too, out of respect for the friendship that once was. However, I eventually choose to disappear quietly from a long-time group, as I know they wouldn’t be emotionally mature to handle my opinion or honesty. As a result of it, we have remained as “acquaintances” with no “bad blood” and all’s good.

How insightful, now I know why I have few friends. I fit all 5 categories. I guess I better change my ways if I want more friends. I am 77 and when I worked, I had plenty of friends or perhaps acquaintances. My friends are my family, likely because they have no choice. But, trying to make new friends is exhausting. Takes a lot of time and my conversations with them are very limiting and not stimulating. I like people but they do interfer with my time with family and other interests. I am more and more comfortable with aloneness. I do not know if others are like me.

The hardest part is the manner in which you separate yourself from them, especially if you’re extremely attached but at the same time know that they’re not any good to you. Like the video mentioned, allowing yourself to focus on your growth can sometimes naturally separate you from the toxic people in your life but if it doesn’t then you probably will have enough courage in you by then to tell them face to face.

Very good. We appreciate this channel, so we subscribed. My own journey began when I was quite young. Suffering and death became my companions before I was a man. Then I became a student, luckily my teachers were wise men that the Tao led me to. After many years I became the teacher. Along the way I learned a few things. Here are some of them, I hope that you find them useful to you. 1) Everyone can lead a full and balanced life. Each spoke in a wheel is important. A path is formed by treading it. 2) Be honest, do so without hurting anyone in any way. That is dharma. 3) Keep your word. Willpower comes from keeping your word. 4) Being kind to others is being kind to yourself. 5) Gratitude and forgiveness bring peace. Here is a prayer I learned from the Guru. "God protect me from my friends. From my enemies I can protect myself." On your journey may peace be with you always. Keep your focus! All the best. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association

@I_Love_Rainbows510 10 месяцев назад

This is all very well and good, and I certainly don't disagree with it, but from a young age it felt as if I was surrounded by the wrong people everywhere I turned. I often made excuses for friends of mine who weren't great friends, because I'd searched high and low and hadn't found any better friends out there! I blamed myself, like, "My expectations of this friend are too high. I'm expecting more than anyone can give, because virtually everyone is focused only on their own best interests without caring about mine." Now that I'm in my mid-forties, I've FINALLY found good friends whom I value more than life itself. Freaking took long enough! I think that my point is that it can be hard to walk away from bad friends when that's the only kind of friend you've ever known! :o If it were as easy as choosing the good friends and the positive influences, I think we'd all choose correctly! But sometimes there aren't any good options available, for whatever reason! I just thank God that things have improved for me, since I value friendship above all else.

Honestly ,if I'd adhere to these there's nobody left, and there are very few non-toxic people in this world sadly, and they're wise enough to stick to solitude, so no friend making there 😄

@adamfreeman2348 10 месяцев назад

That doesnt matter if it is for the best. The modern world of extreme consumerism, fake social media based community, drug addiction, mindless compliance to bullshit government rules and increasing ignorance, breeds toxicity en masse. It is now the way of the loner to retrieve some sanity and health.

These are very true 👍🏻💯 it's why most of the time I'm alone, and If I have to deal with people/ "friends" I deal with them in very small dosage...at arm's length. It sux, but unfortunately people are sick. Example I bought a new car once and for some reason my mate in a few hours turned on me? I'm thinking to myself "you just bought your self a new mint car, why are you getting twisted because I'm happy that I bought a new car for myself? It's very strange right...I don't understand people sometimes. It's like he is the only one who could be happy and buy a new car for himself...smh...

This list is too short! ;) I've always instinctively steered clear of these kinds of people (except the manipulators - that one can take a while to discern if they are skilled at it), but what has been tougher for me to let go of is people who I can have a great time with, but then slowly realize that they exhibit one or more of these behaviors: not taking responsibility for their actions / owning their mistakes, not keeping promises, not communicating, and not contributing a reasonable effort towards maintainence.

I'm dealing with a friend right now, who I feel, has never taken responsibility for his shit, in the year since I've known him .. We've talked about things he does/ doesn't do that upset me BUT then turns the conversation back to himself & what a great friend he is... 🤯 I'm learning to Let go & Let God 😇

What happens when these "friend's" attitudes and behaviours you speak of are actually my parent's actions, behaviours and attitudes. I've struggled most of my life with being alone and depressed because of this. As I venture into my 40's I find it more and more heavy to deal with and feel I'm running out tools to help me get through it mentally. I admire people with mental fortitude!... but that's all I can do it seems, from afar. I'm obviously weak.

I stepped away from lazy losers. When I went to go get my bachelors degree, I started being around positive well spoken people who didn't sag their pants and smoke weed a lot. After a while I started being positive and my English classes finished the rest. I never looked back at the way I use to act.
