I was wrong to trust. Every single person I have trusted, including immediate family, has thrown me under the bus and tried to take everything from me. Lesson learned.
Don't trust people too much. I learn this lesson when my ex used me for money and dumped me later. My ex owed me $12, 000 but he refused to pay me back.
Please don't learn the wrong lesson. Sharpen your ability to spot the dishonest ones, but also sharpen your ability to spot the honest ones. They're worth the effort. Trust isn't a personal failing. Betrayal is. Don't bet the farm. Anyone who asks you to bet the farm is looking for a sucker. People who are worthy of trust are sensitive to what degree of trust is appropriate. Trust is a line of credit. It must be built over time. And finally, people who refuse to trust are miserable. Always. People who are willing to risk(the appropriate amount of)trust occasionally get stabbed in the back, but they are invariably happier than those who aren't willing to take the risk. Good luck.
A neighbor in the building has been my greatest challenge and learning experience for 22 years. This video provided so much for reflection. Lying, manipulative, egocentric, no respect, harms others, psychological problems, no empathy, and superiority describe it. Yesterday she showed another side by asking if we could talk about the building administration later in the day. I agreed. It never occurred. Then late in the evening when I was going to retire, the motor that vibrates on the bedroom wall was running so as to prevent me from sleeping. I realized I had been set up for manipulation to provoke me. I kept my cool and slept on the floor in another room until it was quiet. I saw yesterday for what it was -- manipulation by an evil person who has no empathy. Stoicism helps me be a good person.
When I start to experience discontent, I remind myself that I'm a cancer survivor and I would have been dead years ago if not for some very good doctors. Each day is a gift.
Unhappy people expecting happiness be fed them from the outside but nothing is good enough to overcome their negative expectations. If you can't find happiness alone and generate it from within perhaps you never will, it's not anyone's life mission to spoon feed it to you. As I grow old I hope to not grow unhappy..stoicism
Beautiful teachings. I am going through criticism and belittling and being pulled by others so that they may build up their own self-esteem. Because they experienced divorce and are hurting. I am not responsible of their divorce. I helped her child for education in Australia for three years. I can pray for my inner peace. God bless.
The more you comprehend stoicism the better you will recognize a toxic behavior; thus, you better protect yourself from manipulative and intrusive people. Once you disassociate these people out of your inner circle you then find peace and harmony. Don’t let these people walk you into their trap. They’re good at that. Be strong!
💖 Certain people can look the part of a decent human being ! They can sound good , have confidence , charm . As the bible says about the Truth of people : By their fruits we shall know them. ✨💖🙏
@@auomi8762 You could have found out through a quick Google check. Matthew Chapter 7 Verses 15-20 . You Will Know Them by Their Fruits 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
When a person displays these 'fruits' in their personality, you know they are walking the talk . In his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul lists the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal 5:22-23).
We all have a good bad and ugly side - If GOD lives within the ❤ remains the same. A-WAKENING G-ROWTH A-WAKENING P-ATIENCE E-VERYDAY L-OYALTY O-BEDIENCE V-ALOR E-VERYDAY is GOD'S unconditional love to bring out the best in all of us. ❤
Sunday morning coffee and a lesson in stoicism. Thank you.🙏 Not just the knowledge but your tone's encouragement..we have become so disconnected.🙈🙉🙊As I finish my last chapter in life I wish I had this wisdom 50 years ago..👍♥
Empathy over indifference, yes! This video just put into words what I’ve been feeling but couldn’t explain. It’s all about connecting, really seeing people. We need more of this energy in the world.
Father above I ask for prayer and decernment I ask for pray not to keep getting walked on and generation curses be broke this pain from health and the fall that I and other maybe held I ask to make it to church I seek the heavens and healing over sight and your will be done I claim victory over this passages in Jesus name amen
A 70-year-old woman in my building assembled a table with her husband, voluntarily, to help our association. When I advised her that her husband should refrain from encouraging our aging population to move heavy furniture around, as he was doing, she got mad. I was trying to help her sundowning husband as well, but she did not appreciate it. She threatened to take the table apart again, just for spite. 😳🙄
@@ursulaschlapbach311 unfortunately, the world is full of narcissists and manipulators. You rather be alone and live in harmony peacefully than live with a narcissist.
It is very easy: If you don't respect yourself no one will. Sad Wings of Destiny when you had parents who did not respect you. Even worse: constantly put you down! I knew it was not true but these constant injuries of Yourself- in my case 20 years from Mother. Father until now....
Rock some Priest and get the power of heavy metal coursing through your veins. “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”. “Dreamer, Decker” Good Luck! And also listen to Lisa Brohaugh narcissistic abuse series 🤟
I almost empathized myself into the grave. At a point, I had to choose boundaries, empathy from a distance, yet ultimately indifference is what has naturally occurred with the distance and for my mental health. Smear campaigns can't hurt as deeply when they aren't using the things about your life you confided in them. They will still make up lies but it doesn't cut a deep.
You know where empathy gets you in this world? obviously not because you havent lived it. You get kicked around like a pile of garbage from people who use you and thn throw you away. This is terrible advice in todays world, you will be deceived and used by evil people endlessly
no one is good or bad it what we do that defines us not what we say I can say I'm good all day but then if I go harm someone then I will be defined by that we all have shade of grey I see the good in everyone mostly and the bad too from the worse people we can think off like Adolf hilter or Vlad the Impaler they something good in there in life even though they are defined by wat they ended up doing I can find something good and bad to use and take the good without identifying with the actions of the person that we know are bad that doesn't mean we love these people this not black/white thinkers
It is the INTENTION that determines the nature of the person (good or bad). A person who is motivated to love and be truthful will not be telling lies and intentionally hurtful because it causes cognitive dissonance. It is what is in the heart. A person with a selfish heart can outwardly do generous acts but doing it for ultimate selfish gains so outward acts are not the determining feature. We don't always know what goes on in the heart of a person. Your willingness to overlook hateful actions in people and only look at perceived 'good' behaviours is setting yourself up for a world of hurt. In order to determine as best you can, the heart of a person, you need to know them well and observe actions, words, and intent over a period of time. And still some are very good deceivers.
As an introvert who is technically minded, i can second that the potential exists that you are evil. I’ve spent decades addressing and correcting many of the traits described in this video, and will continue to do so as long as any trace of them remains. Good luck to you, I sincerely mean it.
Im sorry- the only people that i get any joy out of seeing them miserable are people who have stabbed me in the back and wronged me first.....yes i realize it is ugly, but it was never some small slight - it was many slights and big ones...jealousy on their part.
It would be great to simply have empathy with every body, but... most people I have ben surrounded by, family, including my own father and mother, relatives, "great" friends... have always been scheming into my destruction, may sound like paraonoia, but it is not, I tried to establish bridges with them, it proved to be impossible, therefore I built walls, not trusting them anymore, I cut all ties with them, I am alone, and it is great, I left away and have no contact with them anymore, it has been for 10 years, the best personal growing time in my life.
I am guilty of taking pleasure in others pain. But not that of pain of circumstance or true malevolence........but not long ago I was watching these bike prank videos where they'd leave a bike out but someone steal it. Seat was rigged with a stun gun. Or ones where they'd tie small cable on it like 30 ft. Soon as person stealing it got on it and taking off a guy come out nowhere chasing him or her and then ......yank...over the handle bars they go. To me that was funny. I might not be right for that. But virtually all other pain I empathize and help people any way I can.
Most of these ads are ridiculous and aren't even local. They just accept money from anyone and play the garbage. The frantic screaming one where she is opening a check from her car accident.. no one should ever be subject to such a shriek unless a person needs immediate emergency assistance.
Fickleness by the videos definition sounds so much like narcissism..which btw is running rampant in this day and age. So let's heed and gain some pearls of wisdom from this video...yukos!
