Hmmm 🤔 sadly, I didn’t read of any love connotation to the payment of bride price.

Interesting our thoughts alligned. There is a point where you know YOU shouldn't get in the way of important things that need to be done. Thank you for your comment 🫶

Hi, I am so sorry to hear you were depressed. I am glad you have gone past that phase. You are right; these psychological changes have effects on us. Please keep getting better. No one is at the peak, and no one will ever be. Thank you for talking to me. 😊😍 I will be expecting your feedback, and I hope to hear from you soon. 💃💃

Awwww this feels good to read. Thank you for your encouragement 💪🫶

I won't 🥹

Thank you for watching and commenting. 🤍Please try to watch the full video as it contains lots of tips.

Amen! I am glad you learnt something. Do you mind sharing? Btw, I am your 199th subscriber 😉🫶

That's just one of the historical reasons behind the practice of paying bride price many years ago. I used the employee-employer analogy purely for illustration. I believe the full video provides a more comprehensive explanation.

No, you wont 😂😂. I have never forgotten my speech. You can find it useful to have bullet points on your note for referencing

That's a great question. It's important to find a balance between being assertive and being considerate of others' feelings. While people-pleasing often stems from avoiding conflict or offending others, it's equally unhealthy to dismiss others' feelings entirely. Assertiveness doesn’t mean being aggressive or forceful; it’s about expressing your boundaries respectfully and clearly. You can be direct while maintaining a friendly or neutral tone. Sometimes, it may help to explain your perspective, especially if the situation calls for mutual understanding. However, this depends on the person and the boundary being communicated. If you’ve communicated your boundaries thoughtfully and someone still feels offended, it’s important to recognise that their reaction is beyond your control. What matters is that you were respectful, clear, and intentional in your delivery. Ultimately, assertiveness is about prioritising clarity and self-respect without being intentionally hurtful. Did this response help?

Hi thank you for your comment. It is definitely not influencing my life negatively 😅. I was harbouring doubtful thoughts if my contents are useful like I assumed. Your comment was uplifting 🤍 I hope to hear more from you 😊

I sha always see something to pick in each video.. Please keep the energy on o

Awwww thank you so much. And thanks for the huge role you took for the channel 🤍 you are one of those that keep me going

@@oyejideoluwaseun I will. Not the easiest but I will 🤍

Awwww this is so refreshing to read. Thank you 🤍

Thank you for your feedback 🤍. I am glad you find the videos helpful 🥹

That's true. Starting a conversation is more difficult than joining a conversation. Having a script like you suggested can be helpful for a starter.

​@@navigatingsocialtides looking forward to more tips 😁

@@troyking4694 Hi, this is the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. And how old is your spoon? 🤔

@@navigatingsocialtides Roughly 200 years or more, 1791 was the answer I got. John was a silver Smith from London, Georgian times I guess. I live in the Midwest U.S.

@ that must be great possession to have 🙂

@@navigatingsocialtides Clothes and other items were donated to our tribe here on the Pine Ridge Indian Rezervation, and so i came across them and other silverware, I'm kinda excited. I hope I find a market for them. We been needing a ride to get around in.

@@navigatingsocialtides About 233 years, the answer I got was the year 1791, info is hard to find, his wife n son kept working as silversmiths, there are several names with the initials jb at the very same time.

Thank you 🤍

😂😂

Shark? Happy new week to you too 🙈

Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate hearing your perspective. I understand why some people might feel they don’t need friends or prefer to keep to themselves. One of the main messages I try to share on this platform is the importance of having meaningful, genuine connections-whether it's a close circle or even just one true friend. We aren’t meant to live in isolation; our lives are filled with others for a reason, reminding us that we need each other. Material things can never replace the value of real human relationships.

@@chrisvinson9579 Can you elaborate more on what you don't believe? I will be happy to hear your opinion

Thank you sir 👌🥰

I have had a similar situation before. It ended in burn outs and disappointment. I have learned to distribute my energy based on how the other person treats me (not how I perceive them). It's been sooo liberating that I give attention only to the deserving. It might seem hard at first but you will be glad you put you and those who you matter to first. 🤍

💃💃💃 share with us 😉

@@ogunsolatimilehin4208 ☺️☺️

Yes it does!. Will you try it out? ☺️☺️

Yes it does. 🤭 I used chicken, sweet potatoes, avocado and pepper (bell pepper, onions and scotch bonnet) I seasoned the chicken to taste (it was well seasoned, not a minimalist seasoning lol), grilled in the oven (150 degrees for about 1 hour 30 mins to cook both sides), then I shredded it. I chopped the potato into big cubes, added salt to taste and grilled till it was soft (don't make it too soft except you like it) I blended the pepper and fried to 95% dryness with little vegetable oil. This was on low heat and took about 40mins. Then I mixed the shredded chicken and chopped potatoes in the fried pepper. Everything is cooked so take the fire out in less than 5 mins. For the avocado sauce, I have attached a shorts to show how it was made. For salad, I used cabbage and carrot. I hope you find this useful. Bon appetite 🤍

Yes, I agree with you. Thanks for your comment. 🌸

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this comment together. It feels refreshing reading your perspectives on manipulation. With the definition you provided, I agree that a manipulator can have good intentions behind their actions. I also wonder if there might be a different term for this. It is true that psychology and human behaviour cannot be put into a box; a lot of context goes into it; within that context is where one decides if it is manipulation or not. The intention of making this video was to help people arm themselves against being easy targets for manipulators (”the dark ones” as you said). I hope you stick around for more amazing content to come 🤍🤍

​@@navigatingsocialtidesMostly negative manipulation is done verbally. It makes sence to have a closer look at the words: Manipulation - manipulus (latin) = a hand full - manus = hand - plere = to fill up It was used in 18th century in france language and then was adopted to other languages. I remember in France military it was used by instructors to manipulate weapon systems in the right protocole. I remember in german medical school it was used to teach us surgical techniques. It was Freud who framed this innocent word into his cult. He had many inteligent followers. To me Freud is a highly questionable personality and it is easy to understand his agenda, if you take a look at his background. I remenber reading his ideas as a kid i had a uncanny valley feeling and investigated him as a person. It's a lot, but in short his understanding of "manipulation" is a projection. Basically a narcessistic cult. Diagnoses basically are useful for quick communication in the interaction of professionals. Often they are wrong or at least diagnoses change with the number of professionals involved. So here is my suggestion: He was highly tramatized in childhood. It's likely he wanted to make sence of his sexual abuse and normalize it not only for himself. It's likely he was impotent and only able for strange kinky sexpractics. The main argument for his NPD (malignant) diagnose is his infantile projections joint with a grandious and adult communication style. I read him in the original language, that gave it a more direct spin. All of his followers couldn't let his "teachings untouched, but never got to the sick core. Psychoanalyse is proven to be highly ineffective and most insurences refuse to pay years of circles around nothingness. A modern correlation of today's Freud would be Sam Vaknin. My German grandma told me one day: Thies people you go with have a very good *inflence* on you. Influence is the word you was surching for. She cared for me be knowing me and closely observing me having my best interest in mind. An influence also can be good or bad. But it is only a synonyme. My grandma was a wise woman. She had a deap understanding of manipulation. You could only manipulate her if she agreed to. She knew the power of observation. Words used over it's intend to transfer basic informations are just noise. The mindfull observation of actions and consistancy is a better way to stay safe. A deaper understanding of very own tendancies of manipulation (in your understanding) will see and detect manipulation easilty in others. Honesty is a super power. To call out a manipulation, spoils it in the same moment. With good people you can lol about it together. Freud seeded sick problems in our societies without giving a solution. The best solution is not so much protection from our brothers and sisters, but becoming a better person yourself. Just imagine everyone would do that. General distrust isn't the solution. You will overlook the real preditors. Feminism as a form of making emenies of brothers and sisters. Increasing numbers and even legal jusification of sexual child abuse. Genderdistopic as a serious personality disturbance, even supported by psychology who should ethically help, are all outcomes of Freud's cult. We all know who to trust and who not to, just like me as a boy reading Freud. Trusting your gut is the best protector. Equality is another sneaky illusion of this cult. We are not equal. Some weaker individuals have to be protected. But if they didn't learn who to trust, it's impossible to protect them.

@@vivainvestparaguayvivainve2321 I appreciate how you took me back on the history of “manipulation” as far back as the 18th century. The mention of Freud also reminded me of my Sociological classes. It is interesting how the original meaning of words change over time. Not surprised, it is expected in a self-expressive and dynamic world. Your grandma is right. Association brings influence. “Words used over its intend to transfer basic information are just noise” 🔥🔥. Now, we can discern between noise and words and never allow noise hurt anymore. I also crave for a world where everyone has good intentions. Although, I wonder if this can become a reality. In the absence of that, it is good to have a balance. Let people keep learning how to become a good person and also learn how to protect themselves from the other side. Once again, thank you for your contribution. I see it is a concept you are knowledgeable/passionate about.
