Express Yourself
EXPRESS YOURSELF! DON'T BACK DOWN! “Esta é uma palavra fiel, e digna de toda a aceitação, que Cristo Jesus veio ao mundo, para salvar os pecadores, dos quais eu sou o principal.” [1 TIMÓTEO 01:15]

I WOULD PREFER TO BE DECLARED ENEMIES!

I WOULD PREFER TO BE DECLARED ENEMIES!


When some people "simply" don't like you, criticize you and/or don't want you around... DON'T BE SAD! BE GRATEFUL! It is very nice to have a declared enemy to a person who pretends to be your friend, but in truth you were only useful for a certain moment. There are people that, out of nowhere, discards you. There are people who ghost you [1] (It's fashionable to use this thermos!) or emit 'strange' opinions about your life, work, faith and about your sexuality (Which, by the way, they never cared about. But, out of nowhere, they decided to give their opinion!). And, let's be realistic: the greatest disappointments come from people who, at one point, were close, frequented your house, your church, studied with you. And, there is no worse friend than an ex-'friend'! This person knows you, knows your ways, weaknesses, desires, deficiencies, and this person, sooner or later, will use everything against you.
 
So, be grateful for the 'declared enemies' that you have!
 
And remember:
I. You are awesome (with or without this person)!
 
II. Before you met the person, you had a normal life. Why are you so dependent [2] on her? I know that there are people who know how to mess with our psychology, they manipulate us. But, repeat after me: YOU DON'T NEED THEM! There are people are so cruel that they fail you, but quickly argue that:
A. ‘It's not my fault!’
B. ‘I’m not obligated to do anything!’
 
III. NOBODY IS IRREPLACEABLE!
 
Note: This is not meant indirectly to anyone! It's just a fact of life!
 
Have a good weekend and a good holiday!

[1] Ghosting is a relationship term strategy in which a person disappears without explanations. Ghosting is a colloquial term used to designate the sudden term of a relationship with a person without any explanation or notice and, subsequently, ignoring any attempts of contact or communication made by that person.
 
[2] Emotional dependence is a condition in which a person becomes excessively emotionally attached to another, often at the risk of compromising his or her own emotional health and well-being. This can manifest itself in romantic relationships, family relationships, friendships or even in the work environment. People who suffer from emotional dependence tend to base their own self-esteem and happiness on the oil and approval of others, often sacrificing their own needs and desires to satisfy the desires of another person. This can lead to a vicious cycle of prejudicial behaviors and unsatisfying relationships. (https://www.conexasaude.com.br/blog/dependencia-emocional/)
