📍 If others don't understand our behavior – so what? Their demand that we act only in ways they can understand is, in fact, an attempt at control. If what we do seems 'antisocial' or 'irrational' in their eyes, so be it. What they usually find disturbing is our freedom and courage to be who we truly are. We owe no one an explanation or justification as long as our actions do not harm them or violate their rights.

So many lives have been ruined by the need to 'explain' – which usually implies that the explanation must be 'understood,' that is, 'approved.'

Let your actions be judged, and let your true intentions be reflected through them. But remember: a free person owes an explanation only to themselves – to their own reason and conscience – and to the few who have truly earned the right to ask for one

📍 If we were truly aware of how often people react based on their own projections, we would take almost nothing personally.

📍 People with high emotional intelligence don’t rely on words alone.

They read energy, moods, body language…
They notice even the subtlest signals — a look in your eyes, the tone of your voice, tiny shifts in behavior.

They may not say much,
but they see and feel what’s left unspoken.

That’s why it’s almost impossible to hide your true self from them.

📍 Please stop sending long messages to your partners after they’ve hurt you.
They probably don’t care, or they lack the capacity to see things in a way that would make them feel guilt or remorse.

Protect your dignity and just walk away.

📍 Five signs of trauma you might mistake for personality traits – but they’re not.

1. You say 'thank you' too often when someone does something kind.
You’ve grown used to people not helping you without expecting something in return. Gratitude became your way of earning basic kindness.

2. You apologize even when it’s not your fault.
Since childhood, you were often blamed – even when it wasn’t your responsibility. Apologizing became your safety net.

3. You don’t remember much from your childhood.
That’s not just forgetfulness. It’s your brain’s protective mechanism: repression to help you survive.

4. You struggle to accept compliments.
You might think it’s modesty. But deep down, you don’t truly believe you’re worth what others see in you.

5. You never ask for help, even when you really need it.
You’ve learned to survive on your own. Once, there was no one safe to turn to – so now you don’t even try.
