Marcus Aurelius once said, 'Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?' Applying this to dealing with toxic people, it makes me wonder: How can we use our own reflections to better handle difficult interactions? Have you ever turned a challenging relationship around by looking inward first? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

It’s not always the outright jerks you need to avoid - it’s the people who are charming and nice.

What a great way to define such a situation. I commend you.

Narcissistic encounters are designed to be overpowering, overwhelming, and cruel. We must realize that narcissists are broken and sick people who work to break others. Once we realize this, we can learn to get strong and resilient and shield ourselves. Narcissists prey on emotional people who they can manipulate. Protect yourself from the influence of evil people. Stoicism helps greatly.

I recently went through an ordeal with who I once regarded to be friends. I made my concerns known, regarding something they had done, and I was immediately met with insults. I realized that the toxicity wasn’t caused by me, it was caused by them being angered with themselves for knowing they’ve done wrong. The ordeal ended just last week, I’ve moved on, and I know they will feel the loss while I feel the gain. Toxicity projects a persons flaws through attempt to cast a bigger shadow to appear as someone they’re not. I chose to be the rock that breaks the wave, unfazed by their actions, unbothered by their intent. I have so much respect for Aurelius.

One day I called him out and told him everything. He spun the situation so i was sad and unhinged and said he was the victim of my behavior if anything.

I work with a very narcissistic old woman who is deeply toxic and very controlling. Honestly it is incredibly hard to deal with her. Been here for over four months and she never speaks to me, acknowledges me when she walks past. She speaks to others. Apparently she has done this to all who work here. Her energy literally feels like a cloud of mustard gas. So toxic! I’ve been doing my best not to react, but it is difficult when I cannot walk away. She is always looking for a mistake I make so I look dumb and get yelled at by my equally old boss. This woman must be so miserable to do this to people everyday. I needed this pep-talk.

Me too! Since I was a little girl growing up on our farm on a small island in South America, I was always interested in the skies, the stars, the planets, and at 8 years old, I knew I wanted to become an archeologist! But I was only interested in Roman & Greek cultures without knowing why! I was the middle of 7 children and my Mum couldn’t figure out how I became the contrarian (meaning I questioned her orders, whereas my older siblings were not permitted to, etc.,). I basically wanted to understand the reason/need for doing certain tasks & she wasn’t used to be questioned. Hence my Mum coined the phrase ‘I don’t know which God made you’ & apparently I used to respond ‘…oh some Roman God’. I exasperated my mother but she admired my boldness! Mum recognised at an early age that I would only be swayed by reasoning. This doesn’t mean I’m heartless!

You cannot control people's free choices of how they act. Your reaction is everything. I agree to you have to be patient with observation.

Narcissists are broken people who work to break others. Knowing this, shield yourself. Never let anyone else define you or control how you feel. Good people won't try to break you. Good people won't hurt you.

The stars, black hole, and forgiveness analogy is missing the point. You need to grow personally so words don't bother you. It's about understanding yourself better so you no longer have "buttons to push". Listen to "How to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations". Cheers!

The Beautiful Beings of Gaia would like to thank The Stoic Community for their service. We are forever grateful.

The only thing we can hope to control is ourselves, and most cannot do that. The longer someone lives, the more exposure to negativity they have endured. If they are not the rock, they are the storm.

"Conrtol of ourselves" is a habit. New and better habits can be created by patience (a habit) and persistance. Willaim James has written a great essay on Habit.

To those who say Silence is best or just walk away - its easier said than done. And can do more harm to the one who keeps silent. Sometimes there is a need to speak up and rebut the toxic person because it gives you a voice and empowers you. Instead of repressing yourself. We cannot give the same advice for everyone because we are all different and come with different baggages. To the person who is constantly at the receiving end, before walking away, it is important to find back your voice.

It took the manufactured pandemic, the lockdown, the forced masking - witnessing the deep pain, the sorrow, the brutal betrayal - to make me realize I have the capacity to love the people around me, to discard the trappings of the dollar, to step back from the toxic divisiveness, the mob fear. Now, I embrace humanity. I celebrate the simple things, like a sunny day, children chasing each other, a man walking his dog. I'm aware of those scrambling to control the global stage. An empire crumbling. The dollar disintegrating. All the laws designed to take our rights, our freedom, our free will. I wonder what would happen if there is a global bank run. Or better yet - the people might decide to walk away from the dollar, adopt Bitcoin, while the terrorists continue with their genocide agenda, print more dollars and plan more pandemics.. Just thinking.....

I like the ' Energy intelligence' concept. Will remember that when I deal with toxic people in my life or even ordinary stupid people who can't stop talking about themselves! 😅

But sometimes it’s the other person that is toxic, but really can’t see it. So can force the toxic argument to begin with. It’s all about communications. Love means getting to the bottom of true feelings and not drawing the wrong conclusion. Talk it through.

My true love is a toxic man. I saw this immediately; and, without "sinking to any level" myself, I realized he wasn't really talking to me at all but something or someone that's hurt him very deeply. And I hugged him and kissed his cheek and he held me all the tighter ("for dear life") and kissed me and whispered "I never want to let you go"; and so far he never has. He still has some toxic ways but... one thing at a time. I love you all and pray for your prayers to be fulfilled according to God's Will for you; and that you prosper in your every godly endeavor🙏⚖️💙

I’ve also noticed these toxic people have suffered serious trauma early in their lives which trigger their actions

Tbis is prabably the most important video i watched in my life, i have been researching, marcus aurelius, seneca and epictetus and finally have a guide!

I am fed up with toxic people it's wears me down, so l have to take my distance.. Silence it important I had to block a few people this month, fed up with reasoning

Wow! I loved hearing every minute of this! I have never heard the word Stoic before but I feel it describes me very well as the person I used to be and would like to be again. Reading this has made me miss the person I was. Unfortunately, the other people in my life have somehow managed to wear me down and have also stolen my joy! I used to always see the good in everything and everyone and life was good then but where did I go? This has made me know that I am still here inside and I want me back again! Reading this has filled me with the confidence and silent courage I need to go on and has given me the knowledge, tools and a good understanding of what is required. I think my life is about to become very interesting, enjoyable, enlightened and honest in the most profound way. I will continue watching and learning from your valuable wisdom for future encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My neighbours. I have a new house, with a garden I've grown from scratch, including vegetable plots and an orchard. It's jealousy. UK is awash with people who want what others have, but won't work for it. They'd rather pull others down.

Stoicism is amazing😊 thanks for sharing😮

Wow feels like everything I've read and learnt the past few years all in one vid. Absolute gold! Best 30mins I've invested this week! Some fave quotes: -Silence can be louder than any word you might throw into the fray -The most powerful thing you can do is not to react -Choose not to engage to take the wind out of their sails -Empathy is your shield and patience your sword Thank you stoic!

My parents were very toxic but at other times they could be very nice. It was very confusing. When I was young it was a total mind f**k. It caused constant anxiety as I never knew which they were going to be since there was no rhyme or reason for their behaviour. Then when I got much older I realised they were both quite sick and yet, even with this realisation, it was incredibly wearing. Aged 52, I couldn't take any more. I walked away. No arguments. No accusations. Just walked. I never argued with them as they could be violent and brutal. This gave them total power over my self respect and self perception. So it took many years before I got over it and began to become who I am. If you have family that treat you like crap, even if they can be nice sometimes, do not interact with them. Show no emotion no matter what they say or do. As soon as you can, get the hell out of there for good.

its not easy being positive when your living in a kleptocratic malignant pathocracy .

Absolutely. Many of us have to learn how to deal with bad people at work or at home. You have to develop a consistent way of effectively dealing with narcissists, sociopaths, etc. Many of us are married to narcissists and must learn how to deal with them without getting harmed. We must find what works. We must shield ourselves. Narcissists and other bad actors are basically broken and sick people who work to break others. Sometimes they are just broken. Knowing this will help you to understand and shield yourself. If nothing works, then leave forever when possible. Go no contact forever with toxic people even if they are family.

This video is 'spot on' what I have been looking for, since I've practiced detachment and mindfulness to gain control over my reactions. I see a lot of the commenters feel the same way- and that gives me hope for humanity and our collective inner peace. Thank you so much for really defining a pathway to achieve this through Stoicism.

I actively work on improving my emotional quotient on a daily basis- it’s the single most important thing that has helped me find peace. This video is on point.

I had to become this type of person. I learned to stand firm, and not back down. I learned how to deflect accusations, and mockery. When the time is right those that accuse eventually forget. When the time arrived to accept their engagement it was my turn to react like they were not meaningful, and invisible. Their choice was to flee with an understanding that there would be no more mockery, or ridicule.

I’m so very excited to have found this channel! This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I just didn’t realize it was called stoicism!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I’m so happy and grateful to have found you!

although I learned so much from my late parents and they have left a huge impression on my psyche, these words or Stoicism are remarkable comments about how to take care of one self. I give away far too much to others specially women, that do not deserve my kindness at all. I am always challenged. I will watch this clip over and over again so I can retain and master them always. Marcus Aurelius is one of my favourite philosopher and emperor of Rome in history, I have one of his books. Thank you

Just found this channel a day ago and must say it is very pedagogic and inspiring. Now im not much for "Self-priming" channels because most are just bad, cringe or "Hello obvious". But this one had substance. This episode is if not anything else good for people who are burned out or have fibromyalgia.

This video found me at the right time. Currently I am dealing with a very unsupportive and negative mother, and was thinking how to tell her without being rude or yelling or disrespectful. Now I have more ideas in my head now, thanks :)

Great lnformation during turbulent times.

Narcissistic encounters are designed to be overpowering, overwhelming, and cruel. We must realize that narcissists are broken and sick people who seek to break others. Once we realize this, we can learn to get strong and resilient and shield ourselves. Narcissists prey on emotional people who they can manipulate. Protect yourself from the influence of evil people.

Thank you so much for the wisdom you share

I stayed calm. He threw a hissy fit. I could hear doors slamming for another hour or two. It was such a silly reaction on his part but instead of running after him or arguing, I had stood my ground, then let him act out as he chose. I avoided him since. I thought back on the times he had interfered with plans, and when he simply said “I don’t care” to a problem that should have included all of us in a solution. If he returns to address me on the contested issue, I can say “I don’t care” back. He is too toxic to coddle.

This is on point. Family members are posion toxic but I glow and still shine

Never confront liars they see you as one to. Truth is not a value nor a part of their existence. In such a way that their lies are their truth literally literally creating a illusionary delusional fake fear based life and they'll project this onto others by their nature. Self awareness in christ delivered me into deep truth. I wanted so much to confront this person but was taught that that would be playing their game of petty dramatic evil hate. They shall keep their wide path. But meeting such wicked people in truth became a blessing that they will never know
