This video describes my loveless marriage of fifty years of hurt and loneliness. I finally left him and moved to Arizona for six months, set boundaries and found myself. I was so much happier, and he realized I wasn’t putting up with his harsh, lack of respect and dummy bashing world. Now he values our relationship. I wish I’d found my worth years ago. Thank you for sharing this profound message.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's inspiring to hear how you were able to set boundaries and find happiness for yourself. It's never too late to recognize your worth and make positive changes. Wishing you continued strength and fulfillment on your journey.
being married or being single is the same..u were married//im still single 62 years...u lived with vampire i living with 2 vampires they drain us dry/////////i stayed single to be free but i end up with my older sister and her monkey husband 2 demons its pure hell/all that witch does is slam kitchen doors all day long//
@@Kidge.6081 Yes. I was surprised too. For quite awhile, after I realized what a narcissist was, thought he was one. When he could see I wasn’t taking his harshness, put downs and bossiness anymore, he changed. He could be hiding his inner thoughts, but it’s been almost a year and things are good. I found myself and think that is really the key to the changes.
My own adult children have tragically become the people you speak of. And equally tragically I must now adopt these principles to protect myself against them. It's the only healthy option now. Thank you for the video. It's pure gold ✨️
Sorry to hear about your difficult situation. It's commendable that you're looking towards these principles for guidance and self-protection. How have you found applying these strategies in your interactions with your adult children, and what changes have you noticed in yourself? Your journey and the steps you're taking can be enlightening and supportive to others facing similar challenges. Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad the video could offer valuable insights. ✨
@JR-vs1zl it's hard when they want nothing to do with you.And they think gaslighting and ghosting is a relationship !!! ( give me strength ) But thank you so much for the encouraging words.
All these years and I have only just discovered there is a philosophy to my thoughts, feelings and how I have been trying to live and also where I have fallen victim to people and their emotional games. This is like an epiphany for me and everything is starting to make sense and life feels much more controlled, balanced and stress free.
i have been tormented my whole life by these flying monkeys they try to ruin u cuz they jealous/they all gang up on you ////////////even if u get most of them out of your life they know where we live and still come after us like demons//////////let them be just dont retaliate try to avoid them.cuz sooner or later someone else will do the dirty work for u////////////dont worry that u r scared to go outside cuz id rather be alone at home with friends online///they can go f themself they r all vampires/////one day they will all crash////////////let them ruin our life ..we still standing still ..just get online find friends there .if u live with vampires just stay silent let that vampire slam doors///i live with 2 vampires they have drained me///////////
A friend recently told me and showed me this channel after I went through a breakup, and it’s honestly been life changing. My mental health and well-being after applying to principles of stoicism, has never been better 🥰 Thank you, from the bottom of my heart
It's wonderful that your mental health and well-being have improved. What specific Stoic principle have you found most helpful in your journey of healing and growth? Sharing your experience could be incredibly encouraging to others going through similar situations. Thank you for your heartfelt message, and wish you continued strength and happiness. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad to hear that Stoicism has had such a positive impact on your mental health. Keep applying those principles and take care.
@@cslewislegacy1 mainly the principle that it’s a waste of energy to worry about things beyond my control, but I can control how I react to them. I am the master of my own mind 🥰 Negative emotions can only hurt me if I allow them to 😄
these lessons are very important to survive emotional thieves and greedy narcissistic "false friends" I've had many and still I go forward with my head held high...life is hard enough without allowing others to destroy or steal our positivity with their vindictiveness and falsehoods ! thanks you ...I appreciate these lesson so very much :) 🕊☮
Family is the first to recognise as the player using these tools. Guilt tripping, pity play, betrayal under the guise of family needs and lack of respect as people but rather their crutch. It’s better to learn it late than not at all. Thank you for the spotlight on stoicism. Very valuable
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the video. It's true that recognizing and navigating family dynamics can be a challenging aspect of life. I'm glad you found value in the spotlight on stoicism.
@thestoiccommunity Philosophy itself helps me but stoicism is perfect for my position in life. I live back with family at 28 and can't afford my own place alone right now. It helps me tackle my problems the right way and put what I can't do currently out of my mind. Focusing on what I CAN do has been far more beneficial to me than whining about what I can't. Obviously if I don't like what my family lives like then I am not legally obligated to live there and so I mustn't let emotions get to me. Calm heads always prevail and Stoicism has changed my mindset with just the simple concept of what a "Dichotomy of Control" is. Things have finally been looking up as well and i haven't lost my mind or myself doing it.
I’ve felt off about my relationship for some time now , attempted on many occasions to address it , all have been met with gas lighting , brushing me off, turning the whole thing into a joke , or making me feel like the bad guy for bringing it up . This hit like a truck . I’ve put so much love and effort into this relationship , I changed my entire life and gave up everything for it . And it seems more and more like just a game
Yes I see now says the blind man. Thank you God lord Jesus for guiding me to this channel. Keep it coming Guarding Angels. Thanks for preparing me for him. Because I know now before I drag myself too far into him.

I'd had a wonderful afternoon with a stranger while out on a dog walk. I was relating it to an older woman whom I befriended. I mentioned something I'd done at the time which gave me joy, and was surprised at her response to such an uplifting afternoon for me. She shrieked down the phone 'THAT'S NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!!'. I was shocked. Indeed it wasn't my responsibility... it was my pleasure. She obviously felt threatened I'd found pleasure in someone that wasn't her!!.... and was trying to manipulate me by having a hissy fit to make sure I didn't do it again and burst my bubble of joy. Jealous? It's amazing how people give themselves away.... on both sides. xxx
I must have been born instinctively with Stoic sensory. This video hit on every reason I abandoned my circle of so-called friends and even the job. I was taught to give my all and do my best to shine & encourage others in my actions only to receive from them exactly what this video is about. Self evaluation was 1st. Even in my doubt They made it clear why they were doing it. Jealousy.... even when I wasn't around.
I really appreciate how this video gives clear suggestions in how to reframe your thoughts, and therefore how you choose to respond to manipulative behaviors.
🔥 Wow, diving into Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism journey on this channel was a brilliant move! 🏛 The way the creator breaks down the profound wisdom of this Stoic titan is nothing short of awe-inspiring. 📜 Each insight feels like a roadmap for navigating the challenges of life. 🤯 I can't get enough of how the video captures the essence of Marcus Aurelius' teachings.

Hiya yes I agree…I love the Stoics…the creator here is brilliant and I love Alan Watts …these videos are perfect for me…the perfect frequencies for me …also very Wise Advice lol have a lovely day. 🌻☘️
This video was exactly what I needed, giving information clearly and guiding my choices in how to set boundaries and why these are important for my own growth. I will especially use the mantra "I am the lead actor in my own life, others are only hold bit parts in my story". The video provides such simple ways for me to weed out those not worthy of my time and energy, and I've realised that I do have some excellent friends who do wish me to succeed. I think I will be sharing this link with a few people who will gain value like I have. 2024 is going to be a year of self improvement and truly valuing myself and my story. Thank you.
Most of my life my father has been the one who appears to be supportive however this message literally just opens the box and exposed how he is operating. Wow what a way to open up this am
I can understand how that message must have been a surprise for you. It's not easy to realize that someone you thought was supportive may not be operating in the way you thought. Take some time to process and know that you're not alone in navigating these kinds of revelations.
This is a hard truth to face , when you have been so committed to the salvation of your family, and in the mist of it you slip away from your own, due to the unknown true nature of your relationship, as well as how unawareness will effect awareness. The shock of the truth and acceptance.
I'm saving this to come back to again and again. I never knew there was a name to what I feel I've always been, a stoic. Forty years ago, I got out of a very abusive ten-year marriage. This one pod here I feel will help reinforce courage I still need encountering my Ex who still verbally abusive to me in the presence of our 40+ sons. It's been two years since my grandson's high school graduation, the last time I saw my Ex when he slung a brutal criticism at me out of the blue and our youngest son caught it, flung it right back, defended me, and told him how unjustifiably cruel he was being. Oh, did my heart sing that day! This was the same son who, a few years earlier, ended joint Christmases with his father who would change plans at the last minute without regard for anyone else's schedule-juggling to make the initial date he wanted to get together in the first place. Small victories... 50 years' worth. So, thank you for being here. I appreciate very much that I found you. ❤🎉 ❤
Selective availability is something I didn't realize was such a red flag until now. It's so frustrating being there for someone who's never there for you. This video has given me a new perspective on recognizing and addressing these toxic behaviors. Great advice and very well explained!
Thank you a thousand times for this episode , this episode has giving the power to decide, I been undervalue and manipulated for year and half , leaving me with empty handed. Thank for this episode, is exactly what going in my life .. Equanimity. I must apply and learn to do it. My values and principles and integrity, dignity I will never loose. Gracias for this amazing episode. If anyone here could guide me to a community for moral support, I’ll be thankful. I welcoming genuine connections in my life.
Very motivating and these videos are really opening my eyes. Fir me, it’s a mix of sadness , disappointment, realization and , at the same time, empowerment , strength and commitment to change in a positive manner . Thank you
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad to hear that the videos have had such a positive impact on you. Keep embracing the journey of growth and change.
@@thestoiccommunity Thankyou for your brilliant videos …I love them. I’ve just been through this …not anybody in my real life thankfully but a person through a Machine 🤦♀️ lol…but a Manipulative “Spiritual” Person…not exactly Spiritual in that case then if can use ppl as a stepping stone. I won’t be bitten twice though lol 🤷♀️ 🤍🕊🤍
Thank you for sharing! It's always great to have genuine, meaningful connections in our lives. Here's to welcoming even more of those connections into our lives.
I live in a world of both subtle manipulation and overt coersion. Thank you for such a practical appreciation of stoic philosophy to protect our minds, joy and inner peace against such insidious attacks.
I am free to be me, and to continue to explore myself and gain deeper and deeper self awareness and love of and for myself. I do not care what others think of me, good bad or indifferent or a combination of these. I care about how and what I think and feel about myself. I approve, love, and reassure myself and I declare that I will continue to learn about myself and others and as many things that are animated in this amazing life, upon and in and above this amazing planet, contained within this incredible universe, without overburdening myself, to the time of my death. And I will continue to share this with who ever is also willing to share these beautiful rich values! 👍✌️🙂
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that you're taking the time to work on yourself and grow from the past. Keep focusing on your strength and personal growth. You're on the right path.
I've recently found stoicism, and I can honestly say it has saved my life.. if nothing else know that your words and wisdom have had a profound impact on a life Thank you ✌️
Thank you for sharing your experience with stoicism. It's truly inspiring to hear how it has made a positive impact on your life. Keep embracing the stoic philosophy and continue to find strength in its teachings.
I wish I'd heard this 50 years ago. Better late than never but this really gives understanding to what was in my gut anyway that I didn't know what to do with.
I value genuine connections and am gratefully uplifted to find this video and many of these lessons I've intuitively applied over the past handful years especially...gaining solace distancing from those not like-minded...onwards & upwards ✨
I like that point about focusing on what's in your control . I feel like a lot of the time people get too caught up worrying about things they can't do anything about . It can feel so empowering when you focus on what you can do and ultimately change your situation for the better. The only thing that comes from focusing on what you can't control is defeat .
exactly.....when i think about the harm certain people in my family could do if i were more involved with them chills my blood and makes me wonder if i could even apply these principles. There truly is only one solution, and that's to maintain distance; but i'm scared because i know at some point I"ll have to interact with them more. In the meantime i'll just watch more stoic videos, educate myself and work on a plan.
Going through a real spiritual crisis atm. This video was as upsetting as it was massively helpful. It is so important to meet people exactly where they are- not as you perceived them to be. God bless x
Thank you for sharing your experience with Stoicism. It's great to hear that you're finding value in the philosophy and incorporating it into your life.
Thank you so much for your charing your Knowledge with us, the ones who live after what they’ve been brought up with! We have to learn, otherwise we’ll die with deep regrets…
I always go thru that list of “ are you really going thru this?” Yep. Yes ma’am I am. It’s a full on love hate of how I feel most of the time. But I know I’ll be good on the other side.
tonight I found that, after multiple favours etc, she couldn't' put my request first...time to move on and focus one myself....these vid help so many times.
I had lapsed into second guessing myself about a recent relationship that I finally left for the third time. The man in question was emotionally neglectful, and despite my efforts to discuss the issue, he carried on regardless and expected that because he said he didn't know how to reciprocate, that made it acceptable. It was clear that he would accept any women who was prepared to cheerfully meet his daily needs, and that he was entitled to such self sacrificing. I've been wondering if I abandoned him, let him down. Thank you for this video... It's valuable confirmation that I have done the right thing.
It's great that you're taking the time to reevaluate your key relationships. It's important to regularly assess and reflect on the people in our lives. Keep up the self-awareness and growth!
I thank our Son 💙🦢💙 and Daughters 💖💖💖 for their very Wise Advice. And my Hub for always being my Stoic Man…I Thank you the Stoics. Always be the Swan. 💙🦢💙
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the message valuable and powerful. It's always great to hear that it resonates with others. Wishing you many fruitful and beautiful days ahead as well!
This was absolutely tremendous, Thank you so much for this, I slam my iron fist on their narrative and version of reality, Shatter the illusions, my self respect and dignity comes first, Peace, love, Respect to you and everyone, Thank you universe, All glory to the universe, The most high, God is great 😃💜💚💛❤🌈🌌🌚😊🦄🐉😍🕊🦁😇🌲🌹✌🌝🌷

Selective availability is something I didn't realize was such a red flag until now. It's so frustrating being there for someone who's never there for you. This video has given me a new perspective on recognizing and addressing these toxic behaviors. Great advice and very well explained!

Thankyou for your brilliant videos …I love them. I’ve just been through this …not anybody in my real life thankfully but a person through a Machine 🤦♀️ lol…but a Manipulative “Spiritual” Person…not exactly Spiritual in that case then if can use ppl as a stepping stone. I won’t be bitten twice though lol 🤷♀️ 🤍🕊🤍
I welcome better connections in my life.
I already have genuine meaningful connections in my life & i welcome more genuine meaningful connections in my life....
Thank you for sharing! It's always great to have genuine, meaningful connections in our lives. Here's to welcoming even more of those connections into our lives.
I welcome genuine connections in my life!
I welcome genuine connections in my life.
I live in a world of both subtle manipulation and overt coersion. Thank you for such a practical appreciation of stoic philosophy to protect our minds, joy and inner peace against such insidious attacks.
Same here. Have to always be on my guard. Worth the effort though.
I am free to be me, and to continue to explore myself and gain deeper and deeper self awareness and love of and for myself. I do not care what others think of me, good bad or indifferent or a combination of these. I care about how and what I think and feel about myself. I approve, love, and reassure myself and I declare that I will continue to learn about myself and others and as many things that are animated in this amazing life, upon and in and above this amazing planet, contained within this incredible universe, without overburdening myself, to the time of my death. And I will continue to share this with who ever is also willing to share these beautiful rich values! 👍✌️🙂
I welcome genuine relationships in my life
Great advice. I need to learn how to say no. Last time I was made to feel guilty
if they make u feel guilt let them.just stay away from them/
Thank you for helping me finding out where to start my self response to disrespect.a guideline to follow
Glad it helped. I appreciate your feedback
Getting more strength with every lesson. One was in a narcissistic relationship for a little over 1 year. Now I’m working on oneself .
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that you're taking the time to work on yourself and grow from the past. Keep focusing on your strength and personal growth. You're on the right path.
I've recently found stoicism, and I can honestly say it has saved my life.. if nothing else know that your words and wisdom have had a profound impact on a life
Thank you ✌️
Thank you for sharing your experience with stoicism. It's truly inspiring to hear how it has made a positive impact on your life. Keep embracing the stoic philosophy and continue to find strength in its teachings.
I wish I'd heard this 50 years ago. Better late than never but this really gives understanding to what was in my gut anyway that I didn't know what to do with.
I welcome genuine connections in my life! So many helpful lessons. Thank you💓
Glad you found them helpful
@@thestoiccommunity I have found them very helpful and look forward to more videos to aid in growth and enrichment 💓
Powerful inspirational illuminating wisdom🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I welcome genuine connection in my life...
I welcome genuine connections into my life! 🙏🏻❤
I value genuine connections and am gratefully uplifted to find this video and many of these lessons I've intuitively applied over the past handful years especially...gaining solace distancing from those not like-minded...onwards & upwards ✨
I am grateful for this learning; I welcome genuine connections in my life!!!
I like that point about focusing on what's in your control . I feel like a lot of the time people get too caught up worrying about things they can't do anything about . It can feel so empowering when you focus on what you can do and ultimately change your situation for the better.
The only thing that comes from focusing on what you can't control is defeat .
I really have been attracting genuine connections in my life true story 🙏🏿
I've been scared by close family and friends. This is so on point
Thank you for sharing your experience
exactly.....when i think about the harm certain people in my family could do if i were more involved with them chills my blood and makes me wonder if i could even apply these principles.
There truly is only one solution, and that's to maintain distance; but i'm scared because i know at some point I"ll have to interact with them more.
In the meantime i'll just watch more stoic videos, educate myself and work on a plan.
Why do you have to. You can extricate.
family and cousins and friends are sometimes the biggest flying monkeys out to get u////
I'm 54 and have so much to learn....
Glad you are learning a lot
Me too.
Thank you, this video totally confirmed what I have been feeling with a person for over a year.
just one year///i dealing with vampire for 62 years
Wonderful. This should be shared to young people to learn to be stoics. 👏
Going through a real spiritual crisis atm. This video was as upsetting as it was massively helpful. It is so important to meet people exactly where they are- not as you perceived them to be.
God bless x
I seek and attract genuine bonds in my life
Listening to this philosophy, and putting it into practice is becoming an integral part of my life.

Just by me listening to this has changed my life. Thank you God I love your videos.
I always go thru that list of “ are you really going thru this?” Yep. Yes ma’am I am. It’s a full on love hate of how I feel most of the time. But I know I’ll be good on the other side.
The content is very good. Gave me the clarity of mind to set boundaries and the need for authenticity
Your feedback is much appreciated
Very powerful. Genuine people are hard to find these days.

As always thank you! Healing well.
A beautiful philosophy.
This is one of the most powerful videos you've put out so far. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome
I had lapsed into second guessing myself about a recent relationship that I finally left for the third time. The man in question was emotionally neglectful, and despite my efforts to discuss the issue, he carried on regardless and expected that because he said he didn't know how to reciprocate, that made it acceptable. It was clear that he would accept any women who was prepared to cheerfully meet his daily needs, and that he was entitled to such self sacrificing. I've been wondering if I abandoned him, let him down. Thank you for this video... It's valuable confirmation that I have done the right thing.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It takes a lot of courage to recognize and leave a relationship that is emotionally neglectful.
I really cause me to lose faith in true connections ,and seek for it only within myself
What a clarity
Amen
Thank you
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
