Your peace was always in your hands.’ That line hit hard. Learning to limit access and refusing to engage in drama is such an empowering shift in mindset. Thanks for the eye-opener!
To the amazing person reading this, don’t let your struggles define you. Your dream is still alive, and you have everything within you to rise above the pain. Keep going, your future is waiting for you! Wishing you strength and success always!
This video is such a powerful reminder that protecting your peace isn’t selfish-it’s survival. Forgiving without forgetting and setting firm boundaries are lessons we all need to master. Truly inspiring!
Forgiving someone does not mean forgetting the pain they caused or welcoming them back into your life. True forgiveness is about liberating yourself from the chains of resentment and moving forward without bitterness. Thanks!
I had a narcissistic mother that passed away 2 years ago. 30 years ago after finishing tertiary education, I moved away from the town and province I grew up in to put some distance between us. She kept phoning me unannounced all hours of the day and night, and if I didn’t answer she would give a passive aggressive tone when we spoke again. It drove me insane. Then 10 years ago, I stopped all visits, and put her on terms. She could phone me once a month on the AST Sunday of every month, and I promised to answer. any other time I could not promise that I would answer. She tried a few times and then stopped as she realized I had set boundaries. After that, I found total peace and could get on with my life.
Narcissist and toxic people who belittle you and dragged you down in powering you of all your agony, pains, struggle, disrespect you! I feel undervalued, unworthy and a failure. My daughter is doing the manipulation despite the facts about me being disabled, suffering from massive depressive disorder, Chronic anxiety disorder, chronic massive vertigo and chronic dislocated discs degenerative. IT REALLY HURTS MY EMOTIONS AND TORTURING ME MENTALLY DRAINED, UNLOVED. Some people who are faking being with me are doing the same thing belittling and dragged me down.. thank you so much for making me RISE ABOVE!!❤
Forgiveness liberates you from resentment but doesn’t mean excusing behavior or allowing further harm. Instead, it’s about learning from past betrayals and protecting your peace while not forgetting the lessons that keep you safe.
The part about forgiveness being a gift you give yourself, not the person who hurt you, really hit home for me. Letting go of resentment isn’t about letting them off the hook-it’s about freeing yourself to move forward. The analogy of a scar as a lesson rather than a burden is so powerful. Thank you for this empowering reminder!
I’ve had to do this with my family. My sister and brother are mentally ill I think they got this from both parents. It has been hard on me but you must protect yourself!
The analogy of life being a VIP club where you decide the guest list? Absolute gold! Such a clever and practical way to reframe how we manage toxic relationships.
This video reminded me of a time when I had to set boundaries with a toxic coworker. Applying patience and focusing on what I could control made all the difference. Great advice here-thank you!
This video is really helpful in understanding how to deal with negative people in life. Forgiving, setting boundaries, and knowing when to walk away are great ways to protect yourself
This message of forgiveness is EXACTLY what we all need to do. Realize too that we are one, we are all one. Avoiding people is not the answer because you are expressing resentment. Forgive. Jesus said, pray for your enemies and bless those who persecute you, bless them. I made a list in my daily journal, I wrote, Father I love ____, I forgive him/her, please bless him/her. Now did I mean it that first day, no but I wanted it because I understood Jesus message and believed him. In time, I saw a miracle, each person I had been praying for completely changed. In time I realized their treatment of me was a gift to me because I learned the importance of forgiveness and following Jesus word, and I realized, they took on the role of my adversary in order to teach me to forgive, to have unconditional love and true joy. I have read the Bible straight through 5 times and partly hundreds. And have read ACIM 3 times and worked through the lessons once. ACIM is on audio on UA-cam . It is hard to understand but truth rings through. After doing the lessons, it is clear.
This video is a lifesaver! Stoic philosophy offers such a wise and calm approach to handling toxic people without losing your own peace. 🧠✨ Thanks for these 8 clever tips-truly empowering! 💪👏
Thanks for these videos. Sometimes social awkwardness exacerbated can make a person blab too much, have no boundaries which results in low esteem. To have these videos full of wisdom and practical explanations are like a road map. When you hear what you go through is the same as others, u take it less personally and then you can study what to do, how to handle yourself, and exact answers. There really are a few answers that will get you out of any awkward situation. Not over apologising is very important.. Shyness can cause a lot of problems, but having a step by step path to follow, and red flags/scenarios spelled out is giving me bulletproof confidence. I used to sit at the office lunch table swinging between longing to be as vivacious & witty as one colleague, and resentful she'd talk over me. Then I'd try tell a story and my awkwardness would mean it fell flat, or I'd overshare- not good. Now I am cool as a cucumber, sometimes say nothing, except to inquire how a quiet colleague is. I notice if I tell one tiny story now, with a slight humour, it is much better received. I think social graces can be learned, and may need to be relearned returning to the office after a career break.
Great video. Rich toxic family. Manipulative all for the evil of money. I no longer feel guilt. I walked away. I am so happy and at peace. I do pray for them everyday. It helps my heart and the guilt of walking away from them. Great video!
•Toxic people thrive on tension. Stop playing their game. Just refuse to engage. •Refuse to give them what they crave ..... Drama! Their nonsense is endless; so defending yourself foil their toxicity •Know when silence is necessary •Their opinion doesn't define you •Stay focused on your purpose so you don't have the time for their nonsense. •Treat toxic people like background noise Do not gossip about toxic people
I love the series of Stoic wisdom. I only wish each recording were about 15 minutes.. As a working woman, single parent, aftervcommute from work and house work and chores, 30 min for video is luxury. But these videos are too good to pass.
The most useful chapter !!! Let us learn how to deal with these kind of toxic people and primary schools should offer this chapter as well. For those are very easy to be hurt.
Thank you. This video was very constructive. I suggest always keeping your door locked. Especially at Christmas or other events. Some ignorant neighbour may try to enter your home carrying food as a gift. Weird things happen, and sometimes cultures have different expectations.
OMG , you have touched every single thing, of the toxic person that was in my life, and I did just that, I simply walked away, and of course my life has been so much better, ❤❤❤
Stay calm, set firm boundaries, and don't let toxic people destroy your peace. Is choosing to focus on your own growth while staying away from their negativity the best strategy?
Some one who brags or complains is living in the past and the future. Both are EGO. So draining. Energy Vampires have no place in my space. Keep it up full and present or I simply walk away ❤.
I had a narcissistic mother. I couldn't get rid of her while living under her roof . She passed in 2016. My sisters still believe everything she said. My family is all about drama.
Funny thing is toxic significant other of 21 years just came in and lay down at the bottom of our bed and started paying attention to this video. It was perfect timing. Lol He got disgusted lol and left the room.
I really appreciate your sharing your personal experiences and how you handled them. An inspiration to me!! Thank you for sharing your lifes experiences!! Many of them I can relate to.
Thankyou soooooooo much for this beautiful and very informative information. I will truly use this ,and definitely share this with like minded friends ❤. Again THANKYOU
I have been dealing with a to xic family members. I cut off communication and never responded to their disrespect and insults. They stopped harassing me and set an off limit boundary to me as well. 😅
You have to be careful in making an assessment and make sure you are not being one sided I had a friend who called only to share their problems, their pain, but was very protective of not clouding her energy with those of others. To her, others were toxic, but her situations were valid. Be honest to yourself with your assessments.
I Wish I had known all that 😕 😪 😔 my kindness was hurting 😞 i have been used when I look back the regrets is huge 💔 i can't change it 💔 😔 😢 now way too let for me
@@Stumpybear7640 It's never too late to start. The fact that you're reflecting on this now shows growth and self-awareness. Every step forward, no matter when it starts, is a victory. Stay strong! 💪
Many of these responses are passive aggressive and bitter. A direct response stating what you don't like about the other's remark is better than a one-upper. The one-upper is a put-down of the other, making you playing the same game and spending time thinking of good one-liners.
What if we are unable to go no contact or walk away due to the fact that the toxic person is my exhusband who is the father of my children? I believe he holds a lot of resentment due to me wanting the divorce, and is incredibly disrespectful and vulgar towards me, even when i am nothing but kind and understanding of his struggles. Edit to add--we divorced back in 2018 and it has been very difficult to coparent effectively. He blows up my phone incessantly continuously asking me about my personal life, and withholds any financial obligations he has towards our children if i ignore him.
