Every time when you allow a toxic person's voice in your head you all the negativity to develop inside you . Those unnecessary talks or gossip of other people are taking you or us no where , instead we are just being like an idiot entertaining every thing that's coming on our way. We you keep doing so you would never be at peace of mind, success ka toh sawal he nhi utha! (Don't even think of being successful, if your mind is not at peace)
Why should we be wasting time while entertaining useless things in life ? Same goes with low energy emotion like sadness, anxiety, loneliness etc. I mean I know they are feelings so they would come, but when they come don't let them stay and start serving the cup of tea. Let it follow like river. Don't give them too much importance. Living in the society, you would definitely hear a gossip, a bad comment, a sad story, hear in and remove from the head , even if you want to comment on it just speak it is god wish that this happened or they behaving like thisβ¦.. , just no need to add other flavours from your side.
Respect yourself enough to know what you are going to entertain and what you are not going to entertain. Because it shows your character. Let me explain you this by an example :-
If you are standing with your friend group and from there a kind of fat girl pass on and they started commenting on her ,you haven't spoke a single word for not making her feel bad yet it would show that you support body shaming because you neither walked away from there or asked your friend to say sorry or her.
So what would that girl think about you and what would a person standing a far from think about it. Just put yourself in place of that girl or observer you would know the answer. It was just a simple example . There is lot more than this
Set the boundaries , on this kind of things. Because at the end
Of the day you get what you tolerate! Even same goes with emotions , the longer you let sadness stay with you the longer time you feel sad. It's is the simple principle of life.
So how to stop doing it because we Iive in the world where mostly everyone get happiness in seeing others struggle . They say , one might be feeling sad at his life but when he or she comes to know that other person life is worst than their they might started feeling good.
So the question still the same how to stop it , by increasing our own self respect, yaa It's so simple if you give yourself a higher standard you would never entertain such a low level of talk or emotion.
