Everyone hears different things - The Psychology Of Self Esteem

Throughout my travels I kept hearing different things from different people, but what stood out is how people reacted to things said. Some people heard positive or neutral stuff while some others heard negative stuff where all I did was talk about positive stuff.

In groups observe people & see what they react to & what they don't react to. Their reactions can be explained by their habits & belief & by the environment they grew up in. I remember one Indian guy who kept getting defensive even though I kept talking about good things.

But why do people do that?

Travelling the world has taught me that people are addicted to negativity. People hear only what they CAN hear, not what they wanna hear. People don't really have control over themselves, nor do they have control over what they react to. So don't let peoples emotional outbursts influence your mood. People get raised different and hence we all respond different to peoples behaviour.

A couple examples:

• You say something positive someone responds negatively

• You say something neutral someone responds negatively

• You speak normally someone assumes you are playing mind games

The Solution

The ability to feel what people think and feel and the ability to read a room. You must read peoples intentions!

The truth about people

Most people are not your friend. People these days communicate weird. There is so much tension in people these days, its weird. We could be speaking the same language but saying totally different things.

The Way Out

Isolate for some time and reflect and ask yourself how you intend to feel around people. I know that whenever I feel tension around someone, that is almost always is a toxic person. If I feel neutral its someone I don't have to talk to, but if I feel energized, chances are I might wanna talk to that person.

Be your own light first

Face your inner darkness and then shine your light, but first for yourself, not for others. People love being around someone that shines, but it will quickly drain you. Most people are energy vampires. I'd talk to people and they are friendly and enjoy being around me but I realize quickly that I don't enjoy spending time with them as much as they do with me. People are boring, live for themselves and have nothing to talk about.
