Don't Take Anything Personally

[@dlivengood59]

Never let others define you, even if it's your own loved ones. Believe in yourself even when no one else does.

[@monurajput5608]

Most "loved ones" are living for their own happiness too ...like we are ...so them making us happy is something that should not be expected easily . When they don't see any selfish gains from us ..their real faces come out and they don't care about our feelings or act like they care. You can say that you're so giving and did everything for everyone ,but while doing that minimise your expectations (keep that in your mind ,that people are living for their own happiness and not yours . And they may be thankful for what u do in that moment ..but in 2-3 days they'll forget about u and start living for themselves again. A flock of birds doesn't wants to sit on a tree that stops bearing the fruits . Just like a Pervert finds happiness in a prostitute .its like a business of what we're getting from others in return . The worldly people can only "show" love (while they may not have any feeling of love toward u within) . A saint or God shows Love + think about your welfare selflessly . Worldly people could care less about your "Welfare" .

Yep and that's the only way we as a people can grow is by talking about things and having feelings about them. So stay in a state of suspended animation and excepting things you must train your children to except so they to can have the rich life experience that carried you to that conclusion. See all Buddha and religion did was teach you how to be cool with abusive leadership Buddha dad was king on earth by Jesus time they put bad abusive leadership in the sky so you won't think of king or his kids. So now the world walked away from religion as in God's dead of kill the Buddha and go past him. And all this spiritual speak is a form of apologetics for something that got burnt in to our genetics over abusive controll for almost 2000 years and we ither stop spiritual speak grow up run from religion grow up put the fetish thumb sucking blanket with your crying mother and Jesus to soak up there tears of sorrows of humanity and it's ignorance in antiquity and fix all the problems they have made.

[@Medietos]

@@AwakenInsight Just passively-automatically? I agree if there is no time and energy, but otherwise I don't contribute to healing the world by egoistic rejection of the other. But if I do inner work as well, or have done it prior, I may be of help to them, at least afterwards when they are by themselves in solitude. An unaware one is only left bewildered, lost by the silent treatment, and doesn't develop. Ppl too often believe that abusive others are aware of what they are doing, and able to control and stop themselves by themselves, without any help, guidance and support. But:They have the same human functions and basic needs as everyone else. And who has never trolled, even if never to the same extent? In the worst cases only a phrase of address to their I, a reprimand, a correction,a signpost may be safe for the speaker.. More developed/practised ppl could really help if they engaged in teaching the abuser why one keeps silent towards him, and tell about it from the place of strength and stability, how the abuse destroys the world and others, and that abuse won't give them good energy and power which they want. The true self hidden in the abuse longs for help and love. They can be so lost and sick that they won't find the way unless others have mercy with them. Shunning and rejecting, ignoring and hardening is understandable, but not the best, highest approach. Although the ones who are prone to inner work and development might eventually start looking inwards, and think about why they get no response, narcissistic supply. One can encounter and communicate WITH self-protection and empathy (inner neutrality). It is a self-sacrifice of time and energy of course and has to be a free choice. Maybe I ask too much from us. I just think about how much better I myself for one could have fared if others had cared for, helped and mirrored me in my lostness and unawareness. Trauma-therapy is given people who are out of it, who are in a good daily life situation. Oh, where are the gem souls willing to encounter one in the stages before solution-stage? Is it Christ only, or maybe being led by one's genius fate to the few helpers/healers by God's grace? He certainly has confidence in our spiritual point of growth.

You are making the very point which underline that it is indeed our inner states( often asleep, or we are not conscious of it) the actual reason for us to take things personally. It's not to say we become doormat in case of further escalting arguments. (One shouldn't let this happen). It's actually to recognise our emotional scars we covering up while trying to be strong and argue back etc... We face those inner "cuts" coming from our past( often childhood or even prebirth) so we stand still from within, and we can now act the most adequately as opposed to emotional reactions that could make things worst.

I fully agree to the content of this very good lecture. We should not care about our ego or what other people think or talk about us.

Unfortunately there are many people in our modern society who are unhappy and they try to get rid of their negative feelings by aggressing others. But it’s them who have the real problems.

Truer words were never spoken. I used to be a depressed and very negatvive person myself. But last week I started analyzing myself.

Right after my 'awakening' a lot special and amzing things started happening to me all of the sudden. Like really, really, really amazing things. And I notice how people treat me now. So much more genuine than before, and I do believe that's because I treat them nicer. Plus I'm 100% happy for the first time since a very long time. I still don't know what happened to me exactly. It all went so fast and it came almost out of nowhere. Last tuesday I was still depressed, wallowing in self pity and the next day, after some soul searching I was happy. Loving life again, enjoying every little thing. I know I'm not there yet. There's always room for improvement, but it was kind of a great start... I think...

His ending conclusion is very very good, I have listened to it several times. So much wisdom , that advice can shape one's life in such a way where it points to inner harmony and peace. It is how the "i dont' care" should be, not the way it is said by most people when instead they do care very much yet say that expression. It shouldn't even be about caring much. When someone criticizes you, look at what he is really saying, maybe points out room for improvement. In the same time, when someone is just mocking you low key, just know that inside him he feels the need to do it for various reasons, in order to feel better. By reacting calm as if you show him without words that you know why he does it, you will break through that person.

Hello and thank you for the insight you've shared with everyone. What you had to say truly resonated with me. I will turn 64 in less than two weeks and I have spent the majority of my life caring what other people think of me. I believe that when I was growing up instead of having positive reinforcement in my life I faced a lot of, " No, you can't do that because ..........." I don't believe the negative reinforcement was intentional or intended with malice. But it has affected me in my life along with other negativities. I believe that fell far short of my full potential and who I was meant to be. I say this not so that I can place blame elsewhere besides my own self, but I would like for anyone that reads this to not let something like this hold them back in life. I wished I would have discovered this about myself so many years ago. I know that things would have played out so differently. I don't seek pity or anything like that. If anyone else is out there who has had similar difficulties growing as a human I wish that they would look at those things about themselves and believe that they can do more than what they've accomplished thus far and their lives. Thank you so much for your insight.

I agree. I learnt along the way it meant I had to be stronger, to firstly not let it affect me & secondly to know that if I know deep in my heart who I am, between me & my Higher Self (or God), then people could call me anything they want. I had a group of people (I still don't even know who they were) that for a long time, had cued in to my insecurities & were using them against me. After many years,I realised, it was life pointing out my fears so I could overcome them. Even for a while, they were telling people I was a dangerous person. I looked deep within & realised it was because I didn't trust myself. When I worked on that, they no longer could. Even if they did, & prior would treat me like I was a dangerous person, I was able to either shrug it off & walk away not giving a s*** or confront them by saying, what have I done to you? Why are you treating me this way? & they would back down. I tell you, it all starts & ends with the Self. Whatever happens on the outside, first deal with fixing the inner first . people have bullied me all my life, after so many years, I now realise blaming them was useless, I had to become strong & they no longer will. There was a guy who was always picked on, he started to take karate classes, soon after, people stopped picking on him. Maybe I learnt it too late, but better late than never.

I can confirm that what we don’t like in others is how WE ARE OURSELVES but don’t see it or can’t see it and we project it onto others who we think has that THING. we called it IF YOU SPOT IT YOU GOT IT. So when they give you a poor opinion in REALITY THEY JUST TOLD YOU HOW THEY ARE. They just announced to the world the way they see THEMSELVES. Why be upset over somebody who tells you their flaws. ??? Plus. He’s allowed his opinions. They don’t need to match your opinions. You know what I do when people are talking shit about me. I LET THEM. NOTHING. Absolutely nothing outside of me has any power whatsoever to dictate to me how I feel about myself. I’ve suffered enough. I don’t have the luxury to allow anyone to add ANY unpleasantness to my life. I let those guys talk bc talk bad about me bc they were right about it. Which is usually the case. But we all have our opinions and are free to express them. They all have equal weight. You can think me an ass and I disagree. You can say anything you want and I don’t have to care. It’s MY JOB to hate myself not theirs. Just who do they think they are. It’s My job to hate my quirks and imperfections and my fat. Now let’s talk about the reality of YOU incessantly ABUSING and beating the F out of an innocent child of Creation Itself. That’s Emotional Abuse and Psychologically Manipulating. But we are going to get through you today and reach that part of you that pretends things away that are the CAUSE of your Eternal sadness and that everpresent shadow of grief that is blending in with your consciousness so you feel there’s no way out of something you didn’t know you were in Hey look. I can explain it to them but I can’t understand it for them OK?? I mean some times you just need to see that only YOUR opinion matters to you. Not everyone needs you to like them. Not everyone is going to like you. SOME PEOPLE WILL BE WRONG ABOUT WHY THEY DON’T LIKE YOU. IT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING. YOUR THE CHOOSER OF WHAT STORY YOUR TELLING YOURSELF ABOUT REALITY. A UNIVERSAL TRUTH IS EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS COMPLETELY NEUTRAL AND MEANINGLESS IN REALITY. Then you come along and was unaware that hey. ITS ME WHO chooses the meaning of everything I see. It’s me who assigns the Value and meaning of everything I see. That anger is coming out of Them. That’s their anger. I Didn’t ever have anything to do w how they feel. I give no meaning to their opinions about themselves. Now. Choose how you’d like to feel right now. Me, I’m going to aim for mild giddiness. Relaxed. Ok 👍 I’m done. I’m feeling better. And I just cannot allow anyone to add their unpleasantness to myself anymore. Let them do them I’m not falling for all that drama. I’m sorry I’m just not going to engage with you right now. I’m just not having it. If it ain’t here it ain’t here. So good luck 👍🍀 bye La la la me. My life matters to me and I’m not allowing you to hurt me any more. Words hurt bc of what they symbolize. Me I’m crying bc my mom and dad betrayed me. Even ghosted my birthday for the 1st time. My neice texted me was all my birthday was. My narcissist father emoji with a cake 🎂 the next day happy bday He’s the one that my Every bday he’d sing in a computer monotone one note same note one note. Happy bda to you Loud. Funny haha. Hurts. Now. Forgiveness isn’t an enigma anymore. It’s simply realizing that people in their Right Minds just don’t do those kinds of things. Right mind is simply not wanting to hurt people. He liked hurting me. And blame me for it. Well. It got me here. So it worked. HahHha. Maybe we really try to help eachother out. In heaven I’m choosing my parents and my dads PROMISED ME. He promised me that he would Wake me Up so help me God IF IT TAKES ME THE REST OF MY LIFE I WILL TRY TO WAKE YOU UP TO YOUR AUTHENTIC REAL SELF. My dad says I’m worthless I must investigate this. He found wrong in all I did until I got better than perfect. And he couldn’t find anything wrong. He honed me to a T I’m proud of my work. It’s exceptionally good. And I know puffed up things get popped and still spoke with truth. My dad finally finding nothing wrong says IS THIS ALL YOU GOT DONE??? A narcissist can’t EVER accept ANYTHING YOU DO to be good enough. I forgive him he’s not in his right mind. Think back when you did something bad or wrong and you felt really bad inside and apologized. Or not. Just ONE ☝️ THING GOT IT? Would you do that now today? No of course not. Back then. Were you in your right mind? No so forgive yourself man. We are divine unique Beings of light and love and you cannot keep thinking less of yourself if your ever going to be of benefit to others. You don’t condone anything about your actions. They were terrible and wrong. But it’s you we care about you one crime gets one punishment. Then you leave it behind because a sane mind asks does this help me to be happy and shine which is your natural state and your love and happiness can bless a whole room of people and inspire them to think YEAH MAN THATS HOW ID LIKE TO FEEL. IF ONLY FOR TEN SECONDS IT WOULD BE A REPRIEVE FROM THIS SUFFERING. Make it a practice to look for and address the Light in others when you interact with them.

Needed this wonderful, true and very soul-changing topic reminder. Thank you so much 🌱✨☀️

[@purplequeen8298]

I love your positivity. Your energy is amazing.

[@Diathon1]

Something that has helped me tremendously with this is "It takes a victim to make a victim." This is something they learned at one point because they felt they needed to. Looked in the mirror. Another good thing to remember is that however people try to define you is not about you. It's about them and their need to feel like they have a part of the world (you) figured out in some form or fashion because it makes them feel safer. It's nothing personal either way.

[@sheldonkerr]

I’m critical of others, as I have very high standards. Happiness is not my goal. Sometimes I’m happy, sometimes not - it’s fleeting. My standards for my self and others never changes it’s the most certain thing in my life and gives my life great meaning.

[@n83able]

I am so glad I have found this channel. Words can't explain my deep appreciation. This has really helped me.

[@raynaharmony9151]

it is hard when it is your own mother who tries to dim your light . this message came to me at the perfect time. thank u ! mantras have really helped with building confidence back up where it has been damaged over the years 🧚🏼‍♀️

[@mariarossi6719]

I feel you on this as my mother has done this with me too. It takes such work to step out of the shadows. 💜

[@paramitabhattacharya496]

Your messages are so profound. You are 'God-sent'. Thanks to you from the bottom of my heart.

[@smookytubes]

U need more subs man this content is so valuable. This really helps with my social anxiety problems and helps me loosen up more with other people. I really appreciate you.

[@michelo3025]

I have the same problem. Having insecurity, thinking that i’m just a wallflower, uninteresting, boring; and being too concerned about what other people think of me. I forget to just enjoy myself and the company of other people.

This guy is very inspiring and gives me hope to finally hear another person speak and teach the same things that I have thought for a long time and has made me feel like a outsider too. So THANK YOU! For giving me the feeling of not being alone and misunderstood.

[@illumaux444]

Words from Awaken Insight speak from truth. KZbin is honestly a great app and I can’t believe it’s free for all. On this platform, I can find answers to my questions through relatable context!

[@saurabhkaushik3552]

Swami ji your voice is so relaxing & your message is simple to get absorbed by even the most agitated minds.Thanks

[@GhostWalkerNation]

Another thing most do not consider is that the "mean" person is not a victim themselves, but a psychopath, sociopath, or a narcissist. These people are extremely deceptive and extremely dangerous. This is another topic to consider covering as many people do not know how to properly deal with them.

[@brooklynn52dee38]

So true! I once asked my physician do we ever stop learning, his reply, Not if we are lucky!!! Great content! Thank you!!

I find taking people in small doses to be sufficient. But sometimes it is hard to keep the balance.

Lol no

[@y2kallday665]

Yep

[@AS1995xo]

the ego is designed to sabotage you, our ego loves to take in compliments and hates criticism. this is a great reminder that both are not to be taken into consideration. only I can shape my identity and grow, as long as i believe in me. And recently I have found my ego consuming my thoughts and feelings, this was a great reminder to be more intouch with my higher being and not to listen to my prideful selfish ego

[@traceytwinkles6764]

Your teachings are breath of fresh air. Thankyou 🙋‍♀️

[@divinedefiance7069]

Excellent teaching. Timely too 😀

I think that this video might have actually changed my life. Thank you!

[@MURALITOTAL123]

Excellent, bringing so much clarity and hitting the nail exactly on its head - I am grateful for this understanding 🙏🙏🙏

[@devotae]

This is impossible to do when you love so so so soooo deeply. I watched this a few times and it is VERY deep and spiritual. To be unaffected by someone, both negative and positively. Is to say "I am better then you, better then this" and that is to love the self more then loving the other. There is something soooo child like in feeling someones disappointment in you, it hurts and makes you cry. there is something so childlike and innocent in getting approval and being loved. Yes i am working on myself, working on loving and respecting myself more so that i don't wanna kill myself when it feels like EVERYONE hates me, which often forces awakening and i cannot stand it! I cannot let go of the fool's "role" i play

[@Openness]

Hello my friend, just discovered your channel in the past few days. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a vehicle through which others can awaken to their true selves. You echo ideas of Alan Watts, Ram Dass, Manly P Hall, etc, but some folks can be turned off by how dated these people's talks are. Eckhart Tolle is a good example of someone who also makes his words easy for everyone to grasp, but even still, you're much younger than he, and can relate to problems of social media identities and what not better. Of course the true message of spirituality has no age, but relating to current times can help expedite the process of transformation. Cheers!

[@jaypang665]

Thank You ALL 💖🌌❤️

[@jc7636]

Don't take any notice of others opinions and don't let your ego rule you.watch out the ego really wants to be in charge. Great video, thanks.

[@olaniyi570]

That's why it's best to ghost as much as humanly possible. I was socially distancing long before the bug.

[@davidcedric3268]

I think "ghosting " could be temporarily useful if one feels overwhelmed in a challenging situation. But, the key he is giving here is when he says :"you might also look within you to understand why you take it personally". This step, to me, is the difference between keeping our emotions inside like when we want to practice steps such as compassion etc, which eventually will lead to burnout when we face challenging situations over and over, no matter how much we are trying to be compassionate, understanding, wise, etc..., and becoming naturally and genuinely unphased in such situations because we have faced our own emotions and unconscious beliefs that were the reasons for taking words personally. Avoiding people in order to avoid conflicts and our inner emotions won't stop life to find a way to teach us what we need to learn.( Next it could be my neighbor that will make noise at night and police doesn't come). A colleague whom was often being really unfair and demanding with his Teaching Assistants, once had the same behaviour with me. I stood and faced him with momentarily self-confidence, but inside I was closed to burst and thought that was over. Next situations he " pressed" buttons that literally mirrored something from my passed and shattered my confidence. It was really mean. But I remembered to face my emotions ( TIPI technic is a great tool, free tutorials on KZbin), which led me to feel hatred for the 1st time in my life, both towards somebody and myself!! What came up from that was the releasing of that past situations. I could now face even those emotions ( from escalated unfairness) without running away, or ignoring. I also felt a deep feeling of being thankful towards him for that attitude that I now consider a present, for real!

[@drew-shourd]

Great video, such clear insight, we are blessed, thank you for making and posting this. Om Namah Shivaya....stay blessed my friend...

[@lifesymphony2024]

Last time, i tried hard to make things happen. Now, i let i happen. Whether it happen or not, i have decided to be happy no matter who is in my life or not. Ever since i focused on doing things that make me happy, i don't really bother about other people's behaviour. I am happy doing what i like . In the process, i have learnt to counter give in the same way i was treated.

[@ssb6425]

A very deep from the heart 🙏. I am a very sensitive person. I feel every thing very strongly. But at the same time it does not take much to be happy too. Very small things make me happy. W like simple life simple food . But the way the society works is they judge you according to your possessions. Money marriage kids house pets cars. The more the merrier. A person who won’t have this is useless to the society. Even job interviews include some these questions. And when you don’t have them you feel less. And that’s where the problem begins......

If a person has a go at you it often means you remind them of someone who treated them poorly, like a parent , boss, teacher, etc . They could not say anything at the time but they are reminded of that person who impacts their life years later
