I’ve got GOOD news and BAD news:
The bad news is; that’s on you
The good news is…That’s OK plus you can do something about it instantly
The main reason that people allow others to take advantage of them is that they fear rejection
Every day on social media I see some genius posting that you shouldn’t “give a fuck” what other people think of you, while themselves using edgy language to gain some sort of reaction ironically proving how much of a fuck they do give what other people think of them.
Why do people fear rejection? It’s the same fear people have of being wrong Of being second best. It’s the fear of being unworthy, of being a shit person
If a stranger on Facebook calls you a hippy, or a piece of trash and you start to wonder if it’s true
If your crush laughs in your face and you feel bad
If someone has a different opinion to the one you read a book about and are now a world-renowned expert in and you must prove them wrong
It’s because you’re not secure in who you are
When you are secure
It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, even if they think you give a fuck, you’re not bothered
The feeling of rejection lasts at most zero seconds
People who don’t agree with your expertise are just people with a different level of understanding
and most pertinent of all, and maybe most helpful:
You can say NO
You don’t have to babysit anyone’s feelings
You don’t care if people exit your life if you don’t meet their expectations (in fact you might just remove them proactively)
And best of all you can do it without turning into some tedious Edgelord going around telling everyone how much of a fuck you don’t give
Here’s how:
1. Make a list of all your beliefs about yourself that impact you negatively
2. Create and adopt new beliefs that contradict those crappy beliefs
3. That’s it
Easier said than done, although nobody ever says to do that
This process is one of the techniques of Mindset Mastery that I will teach you in my program, the Self-Esteem Solution
It’s not very expensive
It’s incredibly effective
The bad news is that you’ve got to do the inner work on yourself
The good news is that you will gain a level of direction, focus and surety that will astonish you
