      OK, so you made the stuuuupid mistake of biting your tongue to avoid confrontation with someone you work with/live with/or simply have to see frequently, how can you turn it back? how can you stop people from stepping on you and abusing the fact that you hate confrontation? DEFINITELY NEED A VIDEO ON THE ART OF CONFRONTATION PLS!!!

    I actually found Shallon by searching "how to make a man attached to you." I saw her evil-week video on how to destroy a fuckboy, and I haven't left a SINGLE video of hers unwatched ever since. Her channel changed my life, my relationships, my work ethics, etc. Literally not a single aspect of my life hasn't been enhanced by this Angel's advice. Keep going, Shallon!❤

    This is what I like about shallon, she embraces evil, I feel like I can truly relate to her because of this. She feels trustworthy because of this. All of the things she teaches us aren't just things she saw somewhere from someone else, you can sense that it's things she experienced and noticed and the way she explains everything in such a simple way. Shallon reminds me when I've had problems or difficulties and overcame them with simple, practical ways that I came up with myself, and generally those ways always work best for me, just like shallon.

      Right, what's the big deal, I need this kind of info and backup in this evil world. We are taught all the wrong weak messages, what we are taught will get you hurt or killed. It's bs. If they don't like her message they can hit the highway, why are they here. If I don't like a someone I certainly don't waste my time on them. I move on quick. Evil trying to stop the good , same old story

  • @lovelyA933

    Dealing with enemies right away by being completely ruthless or else they grow stronger is such a brilliant advice! My mother is like that and no one messes with her at all, and if they do boy do they regret it afterwards.
    Thank you for the advice Shallon, I've learned so much with your videos!!

    Yes!! I love Machiavelli!! I’m pretty sure I asked for Machiavelli last year, so I’m so happy right now!
    Also, another thing he said that is very true is, whenever you have to do something mean, do it all at once so that people forget it sooner, but the good things you do, do them little by little, so that’s the image that people have of you.

    Shallon is a gift for a lot of us. I’ve always been called crazy for confronting deliberately rude people specially when they try to retaliate but what she said about “delaying a war is delaying at the benefit of your enemy” really hit home for me. Sissss💋

  • @meez5753

    I only bring my evil side when somebody behaves badly. To call them out cause they don't have self awareness and think the way they behave is acceptable. Sometimes they take it on board but other times not. It doesn't matter cause I am not a walkover.

  • @Babu-kr3cr
    @Babu-kr3cr 4 года назад +3

    That was in a mafia movie, "Is it better to be loved or feared?". People love you and abuse you, but if they truly fear you, they will stand back. It is safer. People seek after love, when they should be looking for respect instead. We need to learn how to command respect and deal with those incapable of showing it.
    If you are surrounded by losers, they drown you and suck the life out of you. How do you chase them away? That is the skill you need if you are already a good likable person. How do you keep the bad people off your cloud? That is cool to be ruthless I guess, especially in NYC. It seems like there would be a lot of those kind of people there to begin with.

    Love this video! But I have to wonder, how do you deal with people that label you as ”sensitive” when you stand your ground? I’m often times very calm when I confront somebody, even giving an evil smile to make them uncomfortable, but I still have people telling me I’m ”overly sensitive”. What should you do when this happens?

      Standing your ground is one the most insensitive things to do tbh look at this way sensitive people let people walk all over them and fuss about their situation but takes strong person to say No I don’t want this anymore
