      I kinda disagree on that, based on my experience, I prefer to spend my time with my "real" friends, who see me as an equal, knows my failures and accept me for my flaws, sometimes going to people who celebrate you is often, boring, you dont feel yourself, you feel trapped and maybe they dont like the same things as you.

      True. But it is hard when you have limited options for socialization. It's either being tolerated or being depressed at home (need to work on that!)

      While Nina is correct from the standpoint of this subject, if you are in a relationship to ‘get’ love you need to re-think your priorities. Because then you become the person who is demanding the time and attention of someone else, instead of giving freely.

      Although, I think it's proactive to have further discussion, to keep open to consideration, expanding the reflection on their and my values. It might prove to serve you, and or them. I see this period characterized by personal, prideful bubbles. I realize such a tact is simply democracy, yet before too long we will find ourselves with no other to discuss and reflect with, and there is no such dishonorable a condition.. Because I've gone there, I know. Peace

      @@injujuan8993 Well, in my case she showed 10 time more emotions than I did so it felt like she genuinely cared. Heck, she's the one approached and showed attraction towards me first. There was a time when every decision I made revolved around her and I gave it all to her when I thought her feelings were genuine. So when she was gone, it felt like I lost everything. The stereotype about "males have less emotions" is completely the opposite. Men just express it less while their feelings are stronger while females like to show more than they care. Not to generalize too much because everyone is different but I'm judging this based on my experience.

      I was really in love so all my life plans and goals were betting on her to be there.
      It felt SO lonely when I finally left. It felt like even if I achieve a lot in life there would be no one to share it with.
      So I started talking again to her, but did something different. I respected myself while I kept giving her rope. Long story short she hanged herself with the rope I gave her. Now I KNOW I dodged a bullet, and I feel so much better.

    I recently ended all communication with an abusive, toxic, monster of a stepfather. My mother passed away so no need to ever see him again. Some family are upset, think I'm selfish, but they didn't live through the abuse I did since I was three years old. I feel such peace I never have you see him again. I dont care who likes it or not.

      Good for you. Humans are animals at the end of the day, and step-parent abuse is much more prevalent than abuse from actual parents. It's because the kids are of no use to the stepparent, they only use resources. The other people are mad at you because you're ruining their wish of a perfect family, and they dont care how much it hurts you. But the reality is that you dont feel good and the family is rotten, so let them have their tantrums. God bless.

      There are scores of people walking around this planet who have been stained emotionally, psychologically and physically due to the brainwashing we've all endured that has conditioned us to believe that we have to hold on to these relationships because blood is thicker than water.

      I disagree wholly with that statement. The word "no" seldom has place in negotiations without a set of conditions that needs to be accommodated to turn the "no" into a "yes". And the feet don't need a set of conditions to be worked out in order to put distance to the person trying to make you a servant. If you are in a negotiation, then an objective for all parties is trying to gain the upper hand in order to negotiate the best result for themselves. This means that any negotiation once complete will have resulted in all the parties being both master and servants in varying degree because of the compromises that will inevitably be made by both under the conditions of the negotiation. So Jordan's statement should rightly be "Going into any kind of negotiation will result in you being a servant to some degree."

    @1:41 "The thing is, when people notice that you lack direction, for example in the form of commitment to a personal goal, they will see your time as less valuable than theirs. This observation legitimizes you doing stuff for them instead of doing stuff for yourself. In their eyes, you're at least doing something valuable with your time, which is being a utility for their interest."
    That is narcissistic abuse.

      Not quite, sometimes what happens is that they see you so clueless that by trying to help you they end up imposing their goals on you. They have the best intentions, but it has happened to me that I was so metally weak, so lost and without direction that I practically set myself up for their "abuse". As with most things in life, the problem is not other people, but myself.

They will continue to manipulate, take advantage, and use you as long as you let them. Time to respect and love You .. It's very freeing.

I helped and listened to all their needs but my needs was never met at all. Recently, I cried because everything is falling apart. God knows I tried, but God knows it wasn’t heathy for me.

    “Stay away from anyone who makes you feel as though you are hard to love” was one of the quotes that changed my life. I used to think I had to have everyone like me and would do things I really DID NOT WANT TO DO to simply appease someone else. I would
    tell myself that life is about sacrifice and that is a sign of maturity etc etc but omg it’s not and if you have people in your life who try to tell you that it is you need to seriously consider limiting your time with them and if possible eliminating them from your life completely 😔 Sending love 💕

I finally made it to my dream, and turns out it was unbearable due to my tyrant of a boss. I've been in abusive relationships before and I wasn't going to let it happen again, so I left. He sent me a very rude and condescending email after and I didn't respond. It feels so good to be out.

    You only know what someone means to you after they are gone. And vice versa, you will know what someone means to you after you left them. 3 groups of people
    1) when you are away from them, you miss them, you realised you value their presence. You are better with them
    2) when you are away from them, nothing changed. Your life go on as usual, no setback. (coworkers, acquintance, colleagues etc)
    3) when you are away from them, you are happier, their absence give you inner peace. You may miss them sometimes (or not at all) but you know you will be a better person without them.
    The 3rd kind of people, trust me, if their absence give you peace, you dont lose them, they lose you 😊

    It takes guts to walk away from a bad job, a bad boss, a demanding wife, an abusive military non-career... be free!

    I love to walk away because I love myself!
    You are worth it; know your value and add tax! Also, see walking away as personal responsibility.

    I think you can walk away from any relationship or situation that’s not serving your highest good. It doesn’t need to be an abusive relationship, etc. “The heart has its reasons which reason doesn’t know”. Blaise Pascal

    I'm PhD in walking away. Sometimes a little bit too much, probably. It's just like you say, just because you love people, it doesn't have to mean that you need them. I feel that's my whole life in a nutshell. There's people I love but I don't need them, nor their drama, nor being around them. I love myself more.
