I find it disheartening to engage in conversations with individuals who are unable to consider perspectives beyond their own. Dealing with people who only care about themselves, even in a conversation, can be a real drag. I’ve noticed that when someone always makes the conversation about them, even if it’s not about them at all, it’s usually a sign that they’re pretty selfish and self-centered. And from my experience, people who act like this often don’t have much empathy or understanding for others. They’re quick to find fault with people, which can make them pretty unpleasant to talk to. Not only that, but their narcissism can really wear you down over time, and even damage the relationships you have with other people.
The worst thing about dealing with people who are self-centered and manipulative is that they can mess with your head without you even realizing it. If you don’t see it coming, they can use all kinds of sneaky tactics, like gaslighting and emotional manipulation, to make you doubt yourself and lose your confidence. It’s not just your sense of self that gets damaged when this happens, it can also seriously impact your mental health and overall well-being. So it’s important to be aware of these kinds of people and protect yourself from their toxicity.
Therefore, I doubt engaging with individuals who display a proclivity for self-centeredness and emotional manipulation. Your uniqueness, your intrinsic value, is not dependent on the opinions of others like them; each individual is a precious gem with their own unique gifts and perspectives. Never let the venomous words of those who seek to magnify themselves undermine your worth diminish your radiance.
You are loved. For you were made in a wonderful image. HE knew you even before you were conceived. HE chose you when HE planned creation. You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in HIS book.
...I am fearfully and wonderfully made; remarkably and wondrously made. Psalm 139:14
