stop wasting your energy on people who make you feel like shit

there are two kinds of people

people who are worth your energy, and people who are not

let's talk about the second one

here's the thing – energy never lies.

after interacting with someone, you either:

1. feel better/okay, or
2. feel like shit

some people are just depleting to be around. sometimes it's because they are an asshole. but usually it's a matter of incompatibility

it doesn't mean that if they deplete you, they are a bad person. in fact, it has nothing to do with them

this is about you.

you are the one controlling your energy. how much you are giving. to whom you're giving it to

the problem comes when you find yourself being surrounded by people who suck the energy out of you, and you choose to stay in it. then you just end up feeling more and more like shit

that's not worth it.

if you find yourself being constantly depleted by someone, put lesser energy into them

it doesn't mean that you need to cut them out

remember – you are the one controlling your energy

put more energy into people that make you feel better about yourself. whatever that may mean to you

stop wasting your energy on people who make you feel like shit

    Oh my god, this one, I couldn’t agree more with this. I learnt it the hard way, and I realized it very late. But ever since then, I’ve been maintaining my distance. Or I try at least. Because no matter what, they don’t get it. It’s either they don’t understand or they don’t want to. It does hurt you a lot when you realize that a person or a situation isn’t what you thought they/ it would be, but you learn to let go. Eventually.

    Well,I love reading ur stuff coz it helps me a lot. I’m so glad you made your website. I noticed my circle are all about the 2nd type of people, and about what you said,I can tell that I control myself and I have to put energy into people that make me feel better. I really needed hear this bc I was thinking the problem was me. Thanks Ron, I love ur website, keep going.

    Also in the same vein, which type of person are you? Are you being the type of person who helps people feel better about themselves and helps them become a better person in a good way? Or are you also draining people’s energy and making them feel like shit?

    Okay this caught me off guard. I have this college friend (my only friend in college actually) and I love her so much, but lately I have felt like every time she’s around (and she’s around all the time cause she’s my only friend) I feel like I’m in a bad mood and because we study together I feel like I am not motivated to do anything. I’ve talked to my sister recently on how her presence just affects me negatively, and it shows!! And as soon as she’s not there I am back on track. I am now trying to make new friends (which is so hard, I’m lowkey struggling lmao) and I’m also trying not be around her as much.
    Love the website btw😍

    but what if that’s a person whom youve promised to stay till the end? I’ve heard somewhere that, ‘we don’t choose whom we fall for’ and I think its kinda true.
