Some of us are unfortunate enough to live in communities where small-mindedness, hatred, covert narcissism, etc., are the norm. And these types of people somehow sense those who are not of the same spirit as they are and they unite for the sole purpose of pouring their hatred into that person who is a rebuke to their toxicity and who they cannot change. It is important when you have eyes to see things you should not that you also understand the need to consider all the variables or else you'd become a source of invalidation.
Good to see you again. I go back to the integrated man video often as I grew up a nice guy. Realize my mother and ex wife were narcs and I don’t have a lot of close friends. Working hard on myself.
crumbs what a question.. ive lived alone for 10 years and i don’t think that helps .. if you asked me. team building type thingy.. how to get along with people and communication techniques.. im in my fifty’s and only learnt to talk properly and do active listening since the divorce
I don't need anybody can be the other side of the pole of I need somebody - a reaction to being too needy, one can over-assert their lack of need for others (over-compensation). The middle path is best - recognizing we are interdependent on one another. A cell of the body cannot function on its own in isolation from the rest of the body.
If someone was growing up under a constant control , they cant even think that being self regulating individual is allowed, is correct, is not mean or sinister. The model of being in constant close and controlling relationship is so familiar and correct, that world without it seems strange, cold, unwelcoming. mAny barriers to overcome and many healthy surroundings to pass until you can actually one day to b e what is suggested in the video. And still the smallest judgments may press you down again.
I remind myself that I am set apart and according to John 15 :18 - 20 I am hated by people who see my anointing and Gods grace on my life because of this
