We often forget to treat others how we want to be treated and deliver aggressive behavior.
Are we mistreating others because we do not feel valued, good enough, not successful enough, not at the weight someone else put on us? Are we judging, discrediting, or criticizing ourselves, which contributes to our cruel behavior to others?
There are mean people, belligerent people, brainwashed people, easily persuaded people, and caring people.
Mean people are:
Sad, angry, experiencing pain, not accepting where they are in life, not feeling loved, were put down by parents, or loved ones, bullied, and they interject their unfulfilled desires onto others to fill the void in their own lives.
We should not take it personally when someone is mean to us (easily said, yet possible).
- Let’s feel compassion towards the mean person, remembering we were mean to someone at one time and learned being mean was not a good feeling.
- Change our thoughts from trying to figure out why the person is mean to us and use that thought energy positively to make us feel good and release the feelings into the universe with a smile.
- Continue to be aware and mindful of all surrounding energy because the moment belongs to us, and let’s not allow the mean person to interfere with that moment.
- Know we will always connect with mean people and accept that we cannot change their behavior but only our perception.
- Learn not to engage in the mean persons conversation by deciding to exit and keep our feedback and comments to ourselves.
- Work on not trying to change others and move upwards by not allowing others to change us.
- Surround ourselves with people who have similar characteristics and not around people who negatively impact us.
- Focus on being kind and gentle and not allow the mean person’s behavior to sabotage or damage our behavior.
We can be kind to people who are mean to us once we genuinely pay attention to how we treat ourselves.
- How often are we creating habits that could impact us positively?
- How often are we feeding ourselves with positive thoughts?
- How often are we treating people the way we want to be treated?
Remember, be grateful for all people because they teach us who we want to become and who we do not.
Trust me; life is precisely the choices we make and the energy we dispense to the universe.
Celebrate life daily by starting the morning with positive thoughts, good behavior, and choices, and the universe will provide accordingly.
As always, how will you rise? I am here and listening.
Honestly, I struggle with this issue. Person(s) struggling with low self esteem can be especially nasty individuals. I like to let my love fly free. I can’t accept being mistreated. Not feeling very successful in this situation. My slip is beginning to show.
I agree with what you are saying, but what can you do when you have to work in a classroom with this type of person?
