The more you are conscious about how people treat you, the more you’ll do the work to not allow toxic people (back) in your vicinity.
Some people are born with good genetics, so they just flow through life focusing only on their exterior. In a world as shallow as now, this gets rewarded highly. Hence, we are teaching people that they don’t need to work on their inner qualities. The Pandora’s box here is that people get more and more narcissistic, selfish and shallow, while the ego needs constantly boosting, even so much that other people’s boundaries don’t matter. We are getting to a darker state, even hurting people for our own pleasure.
However, when people get hurt, those still not in huge ego, will start looking inwards for what, why and how. They will acknowledge what in them enabled these kinds of situations. They won’t only point fingers outwards, but also take a look at themselves to heal the weakness in their own armour. Thus, doing the inner-work to a tee.
If you choose someone making you feel less, you are learning about how little you see your own worth and are shown your weak boundaries. What you do with this information, is up to you! But in my book; never allow those people back in. They don’t have the tools to see your worth. Probably, because they value other things than what you are bringing to the table. Sometimes only based on shallowness. This has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with the said person and their personality.
The question is; why would you want appreciation from someone “blind” for you”?
Never accept less than you are and less than you give. Never. This can make you more isolated, but quality always wins over quantity (unless you have a distorted ego).
Always choose “are good for you” over “look good to you”, because you deserve it 👊🔥🙏❤️.
