1. Silent STARE 2. No response or reaction 3. Stop explaining (do they want to understand or JUDGE? 4. Keep your distance (and reaize who's toxic) 5. Hold your head high
Choosing to take control of your life, especially by setting boundaries around deeply personal decisions, is an incredible act of self-respect and strength. It’s a testament to your commitment to inner peace and self-empowerment, recognizing that some journeys are best walked independently. This approach allows you to cultivate a quiet confidence, free from external influence, and to listen to your own intuition without interference. How has this decision to protect your personal space affected the way you approach challenges?

Embrace these messages and let them guide you on your journey.

The part about 'protecting your peace' by keeping a distance really hit home. It’s amazing how much lighter life feels when you prioritize self-respect over others' opinions. Anyone else on the same journey?
Absolutely, prioritizing self-respect is transformative! It's all about surrounding yourself with positivity and shedding negativity. I've been exploring similar themes in my videos-finding inner peace and self-love. It's incredible to connect with others on this journey. Keep shining!
@@TheStoicPath-t9r Absolutely! Protecting your inner peace is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Prioritizing self-respect truly makes life feel lighter and more meaningful. It's amazing to see that you're on this journey too! Every small step forward is something to celebrate. Keep spreading that positive energy! 😊
absolutely correct James, as a man of 70 this is exactly how I am and I have one child that tries to push my buttons so I show her how abrupt I can be and stop conversation. I did my hard yard being a good provider for my family of six. Silence is golden when you reach my age.
Letting go, while still holding love in your heart, is a profound act of strength and grace. To pray for someone without feeding into the drama shows a rare depth of compassion, a choice to prioritize inner peace over unnecessary turmoil. This delicate balance of love and distance reflects a maturity that few truly achieve, allowing you to move forward with peace and dignity intact. Your approach is a testament to the power of releasing control and embracing tranquility in its place. Have you noticed how this inner peace has changed the way you view your relationships?
Real love doesn’t isolate from family. There is absolutely nothing healthy about distancing yourself from people that love you and Want to fellowship with you. Controversial subjects can and should be avoided between family that cannot see eye to eye about Politics, Religious beliefs, etc. But avoiding hot topics takes effort and patience. Guarding every word you say is like walking on eggshells. It is not relaxing or enjoyable at all. People need to give more forgiveness and grace and not wear their feelings on their Shoulder. Giving others the silent treatment to justify your definition of “drama” avoidance is petty, selfish, and completely against God’s on scripture…..Do Unto Others as You Have Them Do Unto You”. Love the family God has given you, cut them a little slack and Never give up on important relationships. If you are mad or severely hurt by something a sibling or child or other relative has done or Said to you…..don’t give them the silent treatment….that never heals anything. Sit down and calmly talk with them and let them know you are hurt. Give the other person a chance to apologize and try and make things right again. Many relationships are unnecessarily Fractured because no attempt is made for honest, heartfelt listening and talking. Cutting good people out of your life totally with no real concrete reason is simply just being mean, and arrogant. By concrete reason ….I mean did they steal your money, or possessions, Or free time? Did they kill you or someone you loved…a person or pet. Did they purposely set out destroy your job, house, or reputation. Did they take you to court, wreck your car, destroy your peace by calling you relentlessly at all hours of the day and night? These are serious breaches of one’s peace and would be hard to forgive and move on. But if your “hang up “ with them is less serious than the above, then a Christ like relative and be a restorer and not a destroyer. Life is short, follow the Golden Rule and never give up on Good,solid, self reliant , stable people who want to love you just as you are. Amen finances
This helped me very much! We cannot kick a dead dog. Others who are discrediting and disrespectful are so miserable with themselves and when we enter the scene they subconsciously feel even worse about themselves…. Insecure.. when we act as if we don’t hear or just stay quiet puts all of it back on themselves. God bless you. Thank you for your this.

To recognize that peace often begins when we choose to listen less to the noise and more to our inner calm-that’s a revelation many seek for years. In a world filled with endless chatter and opinions, your realization reflects such wisdom. You’ve found a way to guard your peace by discerning what truly deserves your attention, and that’s a powerful gift. What helped you make this shift, to embrace peace through selective listening?
1. Be silent.. stare at them. 2. No need to answer when someone insult or disrespect you.. 3. stop explaining yourself. 4. keep your distance 5. Hold your head high .... I know exactly who I am.. Do not let others decide for yourself.. don't let the monkey drive your car..
My son has always treated me this way! I hope that helping him, as a mother should, unlike my 'mother', has in part got him to where he is today. Unfortunately, and it hurts, we haven't spoken in years, I believe due to my situations and choices. I feel, since eighteen, he has looked down on me! Although hard, I walked away after year's of trying to talk to him didn't work, ending in rows. Blood isn't always thicker than water!
The power of silence, especially in a world overflowing with noise, can be profoundly impactful. A silent stare holds a certain mystique-it communicates strength, control, and unspoken words that linger in the mind of the other person. To stay calm and collected while allowing the silence to speak volumes is a rare skill and can leave a lasting impression. You’ve truly captured the essence of non-verbal influence here, harnessing the stoic power of silence to convey more than words ever could. In your experience, what kind of reactions did you notice from others when you held that silent stare?
@@DeanMorrissey-fu1yf Silence, especially a silent stare, has a unique power-it shifts control without a word spoken, creating a space where the narcissist’s usual tactics lose their hold. It’s as though the quiet strength of non-reaction becomes a mirror, revealing their own insecurities and disrupting the validation they crave. This approach speaks to the power of calm resilience and how sometimes the most impactful response is no response at all. Have you ever found that silence shifted the dynamics in a difficult interaction?
It took me 54 years. Finally, my brother slipped up and verbally abused me in front of my sister. When it was over, my sister ran out of my home to check on my brother!!!!!!!!!!! Then, they called my oldest brother and he called me and asked if I was ok and what was wrong with me!!!!!! I’m done. No contact with any of them.
This video is really helpful! I find that using silence and not explaining yourself is truly powerful it protects your energy and prevents disrespectful people from controlling your emotions. It’s a valuable lesson in self-respect and staying calm
Keeping that light shining isn’t always easy, but it has a ripple effect, bringing warmth and clarity to those around us. The “salt of truth” you mention is so powerful-it preserves integrity, adds flavor to our lives, and guards us against the bitterness that can seep into our spirits. How do you stay connected to your own light and truth amidst all the challenges today’s world presents?
Hi Good morning. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

Standing tall, as you put it, is about having the courage to live truthfully, no matter where we find ourselves. When we choose honesty, we honor ourselves and the space we occupy, refusing to blend into the fabric of someone else’s expectations or illusions. There’s a deep wisdom in your metaphor-it’s a reminder to be true, grounded, and unwavering. What experiences have taught you the value of standing tall in your own truth?
We are the light of the world we are a city on the hill. No one deserves an explanation unless it is a sincere uplifting and empowering person who sincerely cares about us. Amen!!!
All Valid reasoning, I try to do this daily. Sometimes I fail, in the end I triumph over the negative persona I have in front of me. Thank You, NaMaste.
This was exactly what I needed, It is a difficult thing to when the person who is Non supporting is the closest person in your life. I Am a Big Dreamer and Have Goals, Even though Strangers Are drawn to My Energy, But the one I depend on seem to Hate it when I am at my best, and Yes I’ve allowed it to Draw me At Their Level to make them happy. It really is very Draining. Thank you for This Much needed, Soul Food. ❤
I think that this particular ‘life skill’ is much more important and crucial than it gets recognition for. So so many people could hugely benefit from practicing these skills. As is said in the video many times - life gets lighter. A perfect description.
Sometimes you just have to try chasing a fool who disrespect s you with a gun, knife or stick and giving them a piece of your mind and then you see the truth
You’ve captured the essence of mastering these life skills-how they have the power to make life feel lighter, less burdened by unnecessary stress and reaction. It’s true that these skills often go unrecognized, yet they are transformative, subtly reshaping our experiences and our responses to the world around us. Practicing them may seem simple, but their impact is profound, helping us create an inner calm that radiates outward. Your perspective reminds us of the quiet strength in living intentionally. Have you noticed a specific skill that has brought this sense of lightness to your own life?

I am gonna going to do my best to try all your advise. I am sure it will helps alot. Always feel frustrated and regretted for not standing firm on my decision, not being my ownself. Sadly even the closest ones, given them respect and in return they over ruled you and control your action. Like i am a puppet. I want and i need to see changes as from now on after i watch your sharing. It is very encouraging and motivating. I need to change myself and be my real self. Thank you very much.
This video is such a great reminder to focus on inner peace and self-control. Stoic philosophy truly helps us rise above disrespect and negativity. 💪🧘♂ Thank you for sharing these practical steps!" 🙏👏
*Respect is not something we can demand; it’s something we embody within ourselves, even when others fail to show it. Stoic philosophy reminds us that the way people treat us says more about them than it ever will about us. When faced with disrespect, choose strength over anger, grace over reaction, and distance over conflict. Focus on protecting your peace, setting boundaries, and letting go of what doesn’t serve your growth. Remember, by respecting yourself deeply, you teach others how to treat you. How have you navigated moments of disrespect in your own life, and what has it taught you about your inner strength?*
I have explained my every move my whole life, I have made some changes but I’m still at the beginning, thank you for this video it’s simple and easier to practice because it’s all on one subject.

Self-respect is a rare strength, a quiet yet unshakeable reminder of our worth and values. Often, those who haven’t cultivated their own sense of self may misinterpret this strength as self-centeredness, simply because they don’t yet understand the courage it takes to honor oneself. By staying true to your principles, you’re setting an inspiring example of what it means to live authentically and unapologetically. In a world that sometimes asks us to shrink, you’ve chosen to stand tall-and that is truly admirable. Have you noticed how embracing self-respect has changed the way you view your relationships?
I had to get away from my narcissistic mother and family. I was the target. They hunted me down. My, now ex's family used the attitude method. My sister was mom's flying monkey,and still is. I broke ties, even though mom is gone. I have peace.
I wanted to thank you sincerely for this video. I am this person that you describe, and I am dealing with a disrespectful person and was wondering how to deal with her. Then your video popped up in my feed! How synchronistic! My gratitude for your wisdom and I will absolutely try this out.❤
These strategies are game-changers! I’ve always felt like I had to defend myself whenever someone questioned my choices or acted disrespectfully. But the silent stare and just refusing to explain myself? That’s next-level self-respect. Tried keeping quiet instead of reacting when someone made a snide comment recently, and it threw them off completely. I walked away feeling stronger and more in control of my energy. Thank you for this reminder to protect my peace and set the standard for how I deserve to be treated. Definitely sharing this with friends who could use the same boost!
Thank you! It’s been a life long journey teaching myself what you put in this video! They should teach this in school early! It just might solve Bullying!🥰❤️✨💫✨🙏🙏🙏

People who disrespect you just remain silent they would not know that you know that you know they were commenting about you in that way you maintain your inner peace and they won't have power over you they want you to react so that they can add more Fuel to the fire don't give them that satisfaction just forgive them. And continue loving love ❤❤❤
Superb message I wish I had seen this message about five months ago... I was literally driven to nervous breakdown by my younger sister and her husband.. somehow I realised I had to save myself from their mental torture Today I am doing much better.. every word you have spoken is so true... God bless you brother 😊😊😊
Thank you James, this lesson is so powerful😊I'll expand it to my children and hoping they will do to their generations to come. People are dying out there from the anxiety they get from others. Thank you so much
I am so glad I decided to watch this video. I watch a LOT of videos on RUclips and this was the first time I watched it twice back to back. I didn’t even mind the same AI voice I’ve heard many times before. These were the exact words I needed to hear to finalize my beliefs and put into words I would actually use to remind myself of how and why and what would be my next steps to neutralize an extremely important matter in my life. I will continue to revisit this particular video until I actually put the recommended actions to work for me.
Why is it so difficult to find someone who is safe to be around? I have no friends left, because everyone I meet is rude like these people, here described. I have one childhood friend who keeps in touch, but she has no idea how different we have become from each other. I will even, now, distance myself from her.
Such an insightful video! The Stoic principles shared here are so powerful, especially when it comes to handling disrespect. It's easy to get frustrated or defensive, but focusing on what we can control - our own responses - really changes the way we view difficult people. The reminder to not take things personally and to maintain inner peace is something I’ll definitely try to apply more in my own life. Thanks for sharing these timeless Stoic teachings - they’re a great reminder to stay calm, focused, and resilient in the face of adversity. 💡
Sometimes if u keep silence for not talking too much someone must think u hate people, but silence is golden, Even our almighty God says be still. Thanks 🙏 for sharing this message, am released, l had pass through a lot, so now l just need myself respect. I will never hate. May God protect us all to cross the new year.❤❤
I've suffered from this since 2017 untill 2 months ago & last week where i told myself enough is enough. I got fed up of friends who disrespected me,judged me,saw me less all the time just because we grew up together & it's been more than 30 something years being friends but lately i realised I'm being disrespected & I asked myself🤔untll when. Right after that i started distancing myself & already I've been using silence as my armour & i never did explained myself in whatever disrespect, negative energy they were bringing & judgements they were throwing at me i kept quiet & focused on myself. Days ago I decided to cut them off completely with no communication all together. I'm already at peace & confidant realising that life doesn't depend on friends. I was caught up in a friendship Brotherhood thing thinking it's wrong to step back but i was disrespected there so why would i keep a circle that doesn't respect me. I'm really at a better place now living my life the way i want & i don't have to question & doubt myself about anything i do. Thank you so much this video really helps me as I'm still in the process.🙌🏾
This video shows the society that we are in, because now I see that's it's not just me. In addition, I now am in my 50's, toleration becames more narrow. ❤
I absolutely agree with this stoic approach. I used this silent approach to conquer giants a few years ago. I have made untouchable individuals humble. I can tell you freely that the silence approach works.
What an amazing documentary, and what timing for me,I seem to have had so many negative individuals in my life, taking chunks of my confidence.I am a very successful businessman with all the material items, but none of this matters. Simply peace of mind and no negative people around me is what I want to achieve,Thank you so much for the advice,you have saved a life that was meaningless but now with renewed energy and focus on how to deal with negative people.
To have the courage to look beyond material success and recognize that true wealth lies in peace of mind is a testament to your strength and wisdom. So often, we find ourselves surrounded by people who drain our energy, and it takes real bravery to seek a life free from negativity. Your newfound focus on protecting your inner peace will not only elevate your personal happiness but inspire those around you to pursue their own authentic paths. Have you noticed any specific changes in your mindset or approach to life since prioritizing this peace?

10:30 I'm particularly impressed with the video's emphasis on mastering one's reactions and mindset - the key to achieving inner peace. I wish the video much success and that it spreads positivity!
Thank you James. I have always been in silence as a child and my silence grows bigger as I grew up and came amongst the indifference, with trouble keeping ways and behaviours. And…….now In such situations I just look straight in the eyes and pause and silent! My late husband suggested to one of his family member that he is a brave man but he is afraid when I goes into that silent. I love peace! So I don’t entertain fights and confrontation! As for The disrespect questions. I simply answer; that makes me tired! And walk away…….

...... point at the sky and suggest they 'Negotiate with Holy Spirit 'as they're the ones who moved me away from involvement with yourself, I wonder why they did that?'. Ending with a question means they are responding then to you. Brilliant validation video, thanks for that James The Stoic. xxx
When I understand the motivation for people being disrespectful, such as there's a lack of love and attention in their lives or they are suffering from poor parenting, I accept them as automatons and of no significance. It can be very enjoyable to parry with them or mirror their behaviour and experience a greater depth of beingness.
Life is amazing, and how it will send golden nuggets to help me navigate through this process of life. This is an on time message that I will implement in my life. The burden was heavy, but now I feel FREE.
Oh, I wish I had stumbled upon this video eight years ago. It would have made a huge difference in my life. You aren't usually expecting the type of person who treats you with such disrespect, to show up in your life. I was not prepared in any way. I will be armed with a bit of knowledge the next time one does. Thank you!
Thank you for these beautiful tips that you've shared now I know that my decision for not answering back those people who disrespected me and my decesion to stay away from them is not bad.
❤Excellent!Finally somebody who encourages us to do the best fir oyr selfresoect and upblooming instead of being minimalised by people with an inferieur complex who start barking as soon as they see you.
That's absolutely right. Because if you lost your temper they would only criticize you. But if you only stare at them, they would be cautioned and say; be careful, he does not like your remarks!

Yes, the silent stare does work. I have done this. I drove someone crazy with this technique.
The power of silence, especially in a world overflowing with noise, can be profoundly impactful. A silent stare holds a certain mystique-it communicates strength, control, and unspoken words that linger in the mind of the other person. To stay calm and collected while allowing the silence to speak volumes is a rare skill and can leave a lasting impression. You’ve truly captured the essence of non-verbal influence here, harnessing the stoic power of silence to convey more than words ever could.
In your experience, what kind of reactions did you notice from others when you held that silent stare?

So true@@DeanMorrissey-fu1yf
@@DeanMorrissey-fu1yf Silence, especially a silent stare, has a unique power-it shifts control without a word spoken, creating a space where the narcissist’s usual tactics lose their hold. It’s as though the quiet strength of non-reaction becomes a mirror, revealing their own insecurities and disrupting the validation they crave. This approach speaks to the power of calm resilience and how sometimes the most impactful response is no response at all. Have you ever found that silence shifted the dynamics in a difficult interaction?
Love It! My Momma Always said: "The Less Said the Better!"!! Totally agree with your wonderful advice! Thank You~!!!
I agree 100% about keeping your distance. I do it all the time. Thanks, it works for me.
It took me 67 years to embody your message and glad we're on the same page. Thank you James.🍎🍎🍎
It took me 54 years. Finally, my brother slipped up and verbally abused me in front of my sister. When it was over, my sister ran out of my home to check on my brother!!!!!!!!!!! Then, they called my oldest brother and he called me and asked if I was ok and what was wrong with me!!!!!! I’m done. No contact with any of them.
Silence is Gold !
THANK YOU wish I had this information in my 20s
this video literally came in the perfect moment in my life, love you
You are welcome stay blessed and stay stoic !❤️👌

Have had tremendous PEACE since I changed my lifestyle, I talk less, mind my business, and ignores calls and messages from people who bother my life
This video is really helpful! I find that using silence and not explaining yourself is truly powerful it protects your energy and prevents disrespectful people from controlling your emotions. It’s a valuable lesson in self-respect and staying calm
Keep your light shining and the salt of the truth savory. It is so needed to dispel the darkness and diffuse the toxicity destroying today’s cultures.
Keeping that light shining isn’t always easy, but it has a ripple effect, bringing warmth and clarity to those around us. The “salt of truth” you mention is so powerful-it preserves integrity, adds flavor to our lives, and guards us against the bitterness that can seep into our spirits. How do you stay connected to your own light and truth amidst all the challenges today’s world presents?
wonderful comment🎉
Hi Good morning. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺
I LOVE THIS...KEEP UR DISTANCE. PROTECT UR ENERGY. 🛑✝️🙏🏾
I keep about 3000 miles between myself and my brother.
"There aint no need in lying like a rug on somebody else's floor". Stand tall!
Standing tall, as you put it, is about having the courage to live truthfully, no matter where we find ourselves. When we choose honesty, we honor ourselves and the space we occupy, refusing to blend into the fabric of someone else’s expectations or illusions. There’s a deep wisdom in your metaphor-it’s a reminder to be true, grounded, and unwavering. What experiences have taught you the value of standing tall in your own truth?
I love it because I find it to be a protective shield in my life
We are the light of the world we are a city on the hill. No one deserves an explanation unless it is a sincere uplifting and empowering person who sincerely cares about us. Amen!!!
All Valid reasoning, I try to do this daily. Sometimes I fail, in the end I triumph over the negative persona I have in front of me. Thank You, NaMaste.
My loving father’s saying silence is golden ❤
Thank you LORD. for this video.
This was exactly what I needed, It is a difficult thing to when the person who is Non supporting is the closest person in your life. I Am a Big Dreamer and Have Goals, Even though Strangers Are drawn to My Energy, But the one I depend on seem to Hate it when I am at my best, and Yes I’ve allowed it to Draw me At Their Level to make them happy. It really is very Draining. Thank you for This Much needed, Soul Food. ❤
I came across people that try to impress others by belittling others.
Totallt true❤
I think that this particular ‘life skill’ is much more important and crucial than it gets recognition for. So so many people could hugely benefit from practicing these skills. As is said in the video many times - life gets lighter. A perfect description.
Sometimes you just have to try chasing a fool who disrespect s you with a gun, knife or stick and giving them a piece of your mind and then you see the truth
You’ve captured the essence of mastering these life skills-how they have the power to make life feel lighter, less burdened by unnecessary stress and reaction. It’s true that these skills often go unrecognized, yet they are transformative, subtly reshaping our experiences and our responses to the world around us. Practicing them may seem simple, but their impact is profound, helping us create an inner calm that radiates outward. Your perspective reminds us of the quiet strength in living intentionally. Have you noticed a specific skill that has brought this sense of lightness to your own life?

Yes.. Im going through this with a few people now. Im happier and more content.
Truth is sometimes bitter! But, it must be told!
I ignore keep silent it's very good move❤I need peace of mind in my short life here on earth, I save much of my energy.

Choosing not to respond to negativity can be a powerful statement. Silence forces the other person to confront their own behavior.
I am gonna going to do my best to try all your advise. I am sure it will helps alot. Always feel frustrated and regretted for not standing firm on my decision, not being my ownself. Sadly even the closest ones, given them respect and in return they over ruled you and control your action. Like i am a puppet. I want and i need to see changes as from now on after i watch your sharing. It is very encouraging and motivating. I need to change myself and be my real self. Thank you very much.
This video is such a great reminder to focus on inner peace and self-control. Stoic philosophy truly helps us rise above disrespect and negativity. 💪🧘♂ Thank you for sharing these practical steps!" 🙏👏
*Respect is not something we can demand; it’s something we embody within ourselves, even when others fail to show it. Stoic philosophy reminds us that the way people treat us says more about them than it ever will about us. When faced with disrespect, choose strength over anger, grace over reaction, and distance over conflict. Focus on protecting your peace, setting boundaries, and letting go of what doesn’t serve your growth. Remember, by respecting yourself deeply, you teach others how to treat you. How have you navigated moments of disrespect in your own life, and what has it taught you about your inner strength?*
I have explained my every move my whole life, I have made some changes but I’m still at the beginning, thank you for this video it’s simple and easier to practice because it’s all on one subject.
You are welcome stay blessed ❤️💯
Thank you I appreciate you, I will hold my head up high when my coworker and boss disrespected me.

Absolute the gems of wisdom. Thank you.👏👏👏👏👍👍
Awesome video,don’t we all need reminders on how the keep our inner peace and self respect.
Thank You
Thanks stay blessed and stay stoic ❤️💯
I really enjoyed your confirmation. My self-respect has been interpreted as self-centered.
Self-respect is a rare strength, a quiet yet unshakeable reminder of our worth and values. Often, those who haven’t cultivated their own sense of self may misinterpret this strength as self-centeredness, simply because they don’t yet understand the courage it takes to honor oneself. By staying true to your principles, you’re setting an inspiring example of what it means to live authentically and unapologetically. In a world that sometimes asks us to shrink, you’ve chosen to stand tall-and that is truly admirable. Have you noticed how embracing self-respect has changed the way you view your relationships?
Very good,more. People need to think about how their behavior affects others .This is excellent advice.
Thank you really appreciate 💯❤️
I love all of what you have said. You are right that is very true 👍 may God bless more people like you 🙏 😊 ♥️ ❤
I had to get away from my narcissistic mother and family. I was the target. They hunted me down. My, now ex's family used the attitude method. My sister was mom's flying monkey,and still is. I broke ties, even though mom is gone. I have peace.
I thought I was the only one with this exact situation. Thanks
I've had similar. It's hard without a loving family but with God we have life abundantly and He provides the people we need.
I wanted to thank you sincerely for this video. I am this person that you describe, and I am dealing with a disrespectful person and was wondering how to deal with her. Then your video popped up in my feed! How synchronistic! My gratitude for your wisdom and I will absolutely try this out.❤
These strategies are game-changers! I’ve always felt like I had to defend myself whenever someone questioned my choices or acted disrespectfully. But the silent stare and just refusing to explain myself? That’s next-level self-respect. Tried keeping quiet instead of reacting when someone made a snide comment recently, and it threw them off completely. I walked away feeling stronger and more in control of my energy. Thank you for this reminder to protect my peace and set the standard for how I deserve to be treated. Definitely sharing this with friends who could use the same boost!
I will never be the Same. Thanks so much!
Yes thank you so much for sharing. God bless us all. ❤🙏🙏
101 percent True !!! 😊best of all!
Thank you! It’s been a life long journey teaching myself what you put in this video! They should teach this in school early! It just might solve Bullying!🥰❤️✨💫✨🙏🙏🙏
Great thought! It surely will stop some bullying.
Very true,I a gree with you

People who disrespect you just remain silent they would not know that you know that you know they were commenting about you in that way you maintain your inner peace and they won't have power over you they want you to react so that they can add more Fuel to the fire don't give them that satisfaction just forgive them. And continue loving love ❤❤❤
Love them from a distance.
Thank You.... It helped so much listening to your words ...✨️✨️✨️
Superb message I wish I had seen this message about five months ago... I was literally driven to nervous breakdown by my younger sister and her husband.. somehow I realised I had to save myself from their mental torture
Today I am doing much better.. every word you have spoken is so true... God bless you brother 😊😊😊
Absolutely silent is powerful!!
Thank you James, this lesson is so powerful😊I'll expand it to my children and hoping they will do to their generations to come. People are dying out there from the anxiety they get from others. Thank you so much
I really appreciate the love ❤️ stay blessed and stay stoic 💪💯
I am so glad I decided to watch this video. I watch a LOT of videos on RUclips and this was the first time I watched it twice back to back. I didn’t even mind the same AI voice I’ve heard many times before. These were the exact words I needed to hear to finalize my beliefs and put into words I would actually use to remind myself of how and why and what would be my next steps to neutralize an extremely important matter in my life. I will continue to revisit this particular video until I actually put the recommended actions to work for me.
Why is it so difficult to find someone who is safe to be around? I have no friends left, because everyone I meet is rude like these people, here described. I have one childhood friend who keeps in touch, but she has no idea how different we have become from each other. I will even, now, distance myself from her.
Such an insightful video! The Stoic principles shared here are so powerful, especially when it comes to handling disrespect. It's easy to get frustrated or defensive, but focusing on what we can control - our own responses - really changes the way we view difficult people. The reminder to not take things personally and to maintain inner peace is something I’ll definitely try to apply more in my own life. Thanks for sharing these timeless Stoic teachings - they’re a great reminder to stay calm, focused, and resilient in the face of adversity. 💡
Sometimes if u keep silence for not talking too much someone must think u hate people, but silence is golden, Even our almighty God says be still. Thanks 🙏 for sharing this message, am released, l had pass through a lot, so now l just need myself respect. I will never hate. May God protect us all to cross the new year.❤❤
Thanks for this information
I've suffered from this since 2017 untill 2 months ago & last week where i told myself enough is enough. I got fed up of friends who disrespected me,judged me,saw me less all the time just because we grew up together & it's been more than 30 something years being friends but lately i realised I'm being disrespected & I asked myself🤔untll when. Right after that i started distancing myself & already I've been using silence as my armour & i never did explained myself in whatever disrespect, negative energy they were bringing & judgements they were throwing at me i kept quiet & focused on myself. Days ago I decided to cut them off completely with no communication all together. I'm already at peace & confidant realising that life doesn't depend on friends. I was caught up in a friendship Brotherhood thing thinking it's wrong to step back but i was disrespected there so why would i keep a circle that doesn't respect me. I'm really at a better place now living my life the way i want & i don't have to question & doubt myself about anything i do. Thank you so much this video really helps me as I'm still in the process.🙌🏾
Peter, sadly, you are not alone. God bless you and continue your self-care.
This is a powerful message .. Infact it speak volume of the gifts of God in your life And it has sow a great seed in my life.. Thank you.
This video shows the society that we are in, because now I see that's it's not just me. In addition, I now am in my 50's, toleration becames more narrow. ❤
I absolutely agree with this stoic approach. I used this silent approach to conquer giants a few years ago. I have made untouchable individuals humble. I can tell you freely that the silence approach works.
It works!!!! I gain valuable and priceless friends and family with this attitude.
What an amazing documentary, and what timing for me,I seem to have had so many negative individuals in my life, taking chunks of my confidence.I am a very successful businessman with all the material items, but none of this matters. Simply peace of mind and no negative people around me is what I want to achieve,Thank you so much for the advice,you have saved a life that was meaningless but now with renewed energy and focus on how to deal with negative people.
To have the courage to look beyond material success and recognize that true wealth lies in peace of mind is a testament to your strength and wisdom. So often, we find ourselves surrounded by people who drain our energy, and it takes real bravery to seek a life free from negativity. Your newfound focus on protecting your inner peace will not only elevate your personal happiness but inspire those around you to pursue their own authentic paths. Have you noticed any specific changes in your mindset or approach to life since prioritizing this peace?
I really appreciate your honesty and your advice about how to handle people who disrespect others

*Yes, the silent stare really does work! I’ve tried it myself and managed to drive someone a little crazy with this technique*
This is the best teaching ever for my emotional healing greatly appreciated.God bless u🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for this video. This is literally all people in harismatic church. So glad I left that place.
It makes so Mach sense and it is true words, I will listen to this msg again and again
10:30 I'm particularly impressed with the video's emphasis on mastering one's reactions and mindset - the key to achieving inner peace. I wish the video much success and that it spreads positivity!
Thank you James. I have always been in silence as a child and my silence grows bigger as I grew up and came amongst the indifference, with trouble keeping ways and behaviours. And…….now In such situations I just look straight in the eyes and pause and silent! My late husband suggested to one of his family member that he is a brave man but he is afraid when I goes into that silent.
I love peace! So I don’t entertain fights and confrontation!
As for The disrespect questions.
I simply answer; that makes me tired! And walk away…….

Amen man of God all this massage is upon me this is the situation iam in now amen it over now
Amen hold your head high❤
...... point at the sky and suggest they 'Negotiate with Holy Spirit 'as they're the ones who moved me away from involvement with yourself, I wonder why they did that?'. Ending with a question means they are responding then to you. Brilliant validation video, thanks for that James The Stoic. xxx
When I understand the motivation for people being disrespectful, such as there's a lack of love and attention in their lives or they are suffering from poor parenting, I accept them as automatons and of no significance.
It can be very enjoyable to parry with them or mirror their behaviour and experience a greater depth of beingness.
Life is amazing, and how it will send golden nuggets to help me navigate through this process of life. This is an on time message that I will implement in my life. The burden was heavy, but now I feel FREE.
Oh, I wish I had stumbled upon this video eight years ago. It would have made a huge difference in my life. You aren't usually expecting the type of person who treats you with such disrespect, to show up in your life. I was not prepared in any way. I will be armed with a bit of knowledge the next time one does. Thank you!
Especially too when we are good and mannered and looking for good in them. And sincerely meaning it. Hallelujah!!! Amen Amen. Amen.
Incredible insights! 🧘♂✨ The blend of stoic philosophy and practical advice is truly empowering. Thank you for sharing this wisdom!" 🙏
Thank you for these beautiful tips that you've shared now I know that my decision for not answering back those people who disrespected me and my decesion to stay away from them is not bad.
This came RIGHT on time. Its even uncanny that this was in my feed. 6:24
❤Excellent!Finally somebody who encourages us to do the best fir oyr selfresoect and upblooming instead of being minimalised by people with an inferieur complex who start barking as soon as they see you.
Thank you so much for these valuable pieces of advice.
I feel this video is actually made for me I am happy as I already following your valuable guidelines thanks
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm blessed.
That's absolutely right. Because if you lost your temper they would only criticize you. But if you only stare at them, they would be cautioned and say; be careful, he does not like your remarks!
Thanks. Right on key, right on time🙏🏻
So glad!
