  • "Nobody Ever Does Anything Once" Robert Greene on how to Detect Toxic people; Signs of Toxic Patterns.
    "The ability to judge people's character may be one of the most important skills you can develop in life because you’re constantly in a situation in life in which you have to decide on whether you want to be with this person or not. We’ve all been in situations where we thought somebody was a certain way and then a year later or a few months later we discover a whole other side to their personality and it’s not good, and were surprised, disappointed and we tend to blame them as if they were fooling us, people leave traces of who they are, you're just not picking up the signs. Nobody ever does anything once, if somebody has done a bad deed, where you see them mistreating somebody else and then they will come back and say, oh it just come over me, this happened once, it’s not who am. You should not ever believe them, realize that people have patterns; when they do something bad; they probably have done it before and will do it again."
    “There is no one more dangerous than a person who has no self-awareness, they can’t see who they are because that gives them license to do whatever they want and feel justified.”

    It's interesting how many people automatically take this to dating or in the context of intimate relationships. This is a skill that is useful in all areas of life. The ability to walk away from people is a skill to master. Toxic people are draining. People have been taught monsters are hideous when in fact monsters are often beautiful, that is how they lure people in. The key is learning to listen to actions in comparison to the words they use, toxic people love to be victims, they love to isolate in various ways, always trying to nitpick or if they take offense when you meant none. Again, this is not just about love, but co-workers, friends, a boss, and even family members. The greatest defense is to know you can walk away from anyone. The only expert on you is you, Be cool.

    These lines are wise observation - "They've learned to disguise themselves. So, really toxic people have learned since an early age that if they just simply display their ugly behaviour, they'll turn off people. And so they learn to be charming. And they learn to be kind of seductive".

    Really great information. While no one can be perfect there is a distinct line regarding manipulative and toxic behavior. As someone who has been a behavior specialist for 3 decades I remind people that acting surprised or "offended' by ongoing behaviors is reinforcing and enabling. We recognize the patterns in art, music, design, the weather and may other parts of life. Behavior patterns are the same. Words are not deeds, be aware your alignments!

    A lot of successful people are obsessive - and that's why you should never judge people by their outside and on their character/habits. When you lack the self awareness to notice yourself - especially if you are obsessive, overly passionate, compulsive, afraid - you can't integrate dark portions of your character and work on things that simply do not fit you or work for you.

      A more powerful way to impress the subconscious mind is saying it in a constructive manner, such as: "I'll remember to avoid making that mistake". There's something magnetic how we can phrase our statements sounding less negative that's more impactful; the conscious mind picks up that stronger pull or charge, which signals the subconscious mind to organize it accordingly. Our brain is quite amazing and mysterious. Anyone can look this up, I forgot the person who teaches these psychological tips.

    I Do think that people say what they mean. And mean (by their actions or lack thereof), what they don’t say. It looks like this;
    Person # 1: Hey Friend, I have to cancel for tomorrow. Can you do it Sunday instead?
    Person # 2: Sure. I am going to be at such and such a place on Sunday from 1-5 pm socializing. You can join me. I’m running errands before then.
    Person # 1: Oh, it sounds like you’re busy. Maybe another time instead.
    Person # 2: Sure. Contact me when your schedule is free.
    Can you smell the bs?
    There’s both projection and a lack of follow up on the part of Person # 1.
    And is an example of the excellent admonition that “Nobody does anything once.”
    This exchange just happened between myself and someone else a short while ago.

      Actually when I read that exchange I thought person #2 was giving person #1 the brush off. So , hardly surprising pers #1 gave up the initiative of reestablishing contact. Person #2 should have responded with “Actually Sunday is going to be tricky, because (reasons),. I’m so sorry about that, but why don’t we have another try next week? I’ll get back to you about when I’m free next week, ok?”
      Of course, that’s with no knowledge of what person #1 ‘s previous form is.

    @trusound170 Год назад +3

    Saying no one ever does anything once is not accurate. Second, the people you describe are likely displaying the poor effects of some adverse childhood conditions, events or treatment. It is best to avoid people who display these traits that are inevitably abusive, deceptive or manipulative, BUT it is also wise to understand why people are the way that they are so YOU don't decide that YOU are the problem. No one does anything for no reason. And further, if you are in a cycle of ending up with these types you need to look at your own underlying issues and why you are drawn to or are drawing that to you.

    • @emotown1
      @emotown1 Год назад

      I think “no one does anything deceptive, abusive or manipulative once” is probably implicit in the title. The example of Howard Hughes’s was probably not the best as he was autistic and not seeking to deceive or manipulate. But, I have myself observed in people that any immoral behavioural trait is exactly that … a trait, not a one off.

    They are likely to have less than average self esteem, i.e. huge chip on their shoulder.
    Anyway, I’d suggest to take it easy, do not assume the worst, and learn not to get emotionally sucked in, because that is you letting yourself be manipulated.
