4 types of people you need to stop explaining yourself to

4 types of people you need to stop explaining yourself to

1. People who have already decided who you are
2. People who only hear what confirms their bias
3. People who weaponize your vulnerability
4. People who need you to be wrong so they can feel right

Not everyone deserves an explanation. Some people do not want to understand you. They want to misunderstand you on purpose. Save your energy for people who listen with the intent to hear, not the intent to judge.

number 4 hit me hard. i have this one person in my life who literally cannot be happy for me unless something bad happens to me first. like if i get a promotion they gotta remind me of someone who got fired. took me way too long to realize i was draining myself trying to make them see my side. finally just stopped engaging and honestly? peace i didn't know was possible.
