Narcissists are the very worst tho!!! They come from the pits of sheol but wear a mask of deception... very much liken to a chameleon infact..outward show/disguise to fit their surroundings to game and ensnare their prey!

      Most people cannot handle honesty. I have done both, stay away with and without saying why. The first group (family) never bothered to contact me again because they knew exactly why I dissapeared, and some in the second group (friends) still reach out to me from time to time only to critize the fact that I'm keeping my distance.

    • @outerspace7

      I had once contemplated being fully honest too, out of respect for the friendship that once was. However, I eventually choose to disappear quietly from a long-time group, as I know they wouldn’t be emotionally mature to handle my opinion or honesty. As a result of it, we have remained as “acquaintances” with no “bad blood” and all’s good.

      I think a lot of people are in this spot thanks to the "Covid-19 BS." What a shocker to see people I respected my entire life as pillars of wisdom fall flat on their faces in panic over the shadows cast by CNN!
      It's not called "CNN Syndrome" for nothing, entire villages fell for it.
      Imagine my SHOCK, as World Vision, who I donated to 'long time' sent pastors "of God" out to inject remote villagers, who instinctively knew better!
      Imagine THEIR shock, as they noticed the angel of death visit more frequently, and they don't have ERs and Medi-Cal to lean on.
      So evil. So many lies. The death dealer destroyed my life, and just trying to warn others has cost me so many friendships.
      What a lesson, to try to save that 5-year-old whose mother will now believe it's "normal" to have diabetes or a heart attack-
      AS A CHILD;
      to be told "It's long-covid!" when even low IQ know "Sudden Adult Death Syndrome" didn't happen til the vax! What a freaking CROCK!
      The Bible is entirely correct when it says that the devil comes to lie, kill & destroy.
      And people who refuse to recognize that it also says, "Be wise as serpents & harmless as doves" will not learn about any wiles of the devil, thinking ignorance is bliss...
      Hello! Why do you send your son to the military to learn to fight, but refuse him the spiritual wisdom needed to fight the greater danger he faces in everyone he meets?
      "Fools and blind" is right, as Jesus said... and it takes one to know one.
      Why do most of us learn the hardest way?
      The pain of my mistakes haunts me daily.

    The hardest part is the manner in which you separate yourself from them, especially if you’re extremely attached but at the same time know that they’re not any good to you. Like the video mentioned, allowing yourself to focus on your growth can sometimes naturally separate you from the toxic people in your life but if it doesn’t then you probably will have enough courage in you by then to tell them face to face.

I am 77 and when I worked, I had plenty of friends or perhaps acquaintances. My friends are my family, likely because they have no choice. But, trying to make new friends is exhausting. Takes a lot of time and my conversations with them are very limiting and not stimulating. I like people but they do interfer with my time with family and other interests. I am more and more comfortable with aloneness. I do not know if others are like me.

    Here's a subtle manipulation I experienced. I live on ten acres in the country. This guy I knew but was not friends with called one morning at 8 am. "Hi Mark, can I come over and talk to you." I was surprised but said ok. I offered him coffee which he turned down. He sat down and told me he wanted to move his 32' camper onto my property to live with me. I said no! He got up and left. Duh! Old buddy old pal.

    There are people i meet on the "street" who though only a breif conversation, i instantly mesh with, that give me inspiration and somehow lighten my load a little!

    This is all very well and good, and I certainly don't disagree with it, but from a young age it felt as if I was surrounded by the wrong people everywhere I turned. I often made excuses for friends of mine who weren't great friends, because I'd searched high and low and hadn't found any better friends out there! I blamed myself, like, "My expectations of this friend are too high. I'm expecting more than anyone can give, because virtually everyone is focused only on their own best interests without caring about mine." Now that I'm in my mid-forties, I've FINALLY found good friends whom I value more than life itself. Freaking took long enough! I think that my point is that it can be hard to walk away from bad friends when that's the only kind of friend you've ever known! :o If it were as easy as choosing the good friends and the positive influences, I think we'd all choose correctly! But sometimes there aren't any good options available, for whatever reason! I just thank God that things have improved for me, since I value friendship above all else.

    Very good. We appreciate this channel, so we subscribed. My own journey began when I was quite young. Suffering and death became my companions before I was a man. Then I became a student, luckily my teachers were wise men that the Tao led me to. After many years I became the teacher. Along the way I learned a few things. Here are some of them, I hope that you find them useful to you.
    1) Everyone can lead a full and balanced life. Each spoke in a wheel is important. A path is formed by treading it.
    2) Be honest, do so without hurting anyone in any way. That is dharma.
    3) Keep your word. Willpower comes from keeping your word.
    4) Being kind to others is being kind to yourself.
    5) Gratitude and forgiveness bring peace.
    Here is a prayer I learned from the Guru.
    "God protect me from my friends. From my enemies I can protect myself."
    On your journey may peace be with you always. Keep your focus!
    All the best.

    I think I have one friend like the one mentioned in the vid. He keeps boasting about his math solving skills and always gives people hard problems in maths that he knows but others don't . Then after they are not able to do them he brings their positive spirit down. I guess its time to end this kind of friendship.

    What happens when these "friend's" attitudes and behaviours you speak of are actually my parent's actions, behaviours and attitudes. I've struggled most of my life with being alone and depressed because of this. As I venture into my 40's I find it more and more heavy to deal with and feel I'm running out tools to help me get through it mentally. I admire people with mental fortitude!... but that's all I can do it seems, from afar. I'm obviously weak.

    These are very true 👍🏻💯 it's why most of the time I'm alone, and If I have to deal with people/ "friends" I deal with them in very small dosage...at arm's length. It sux, but unfortunately people are sick. Example I bought a new car once and for some reason my mate in a few hours turned on me? I'm thinking to myself "you just bought your self a new mint car, why are you getting twisted because I'm happy that I bought a new car for myself? It's very strange right...I don't understand people sometimes. It's like he is the only one who could be happy and buy a new car for himself...smh...
