10 Toxic Lessons You Need to Unlearn

Here are 10 toxic lessons to unlearn that we picked up in childhood and through society. When we’re children, our parents and caregivers are the ones who teach us the most valuable lessons in life. But those lessons can be toxic. That’s why psychology is such a great tool for self improvement and self development. Sometimes, learning and growing is just a matter of unlearning.

And while it can be challenging to change a negative mindset and replace limiting beliefs with more positive ones, it’s also possible once you decide to do it. The point is not to get angry at your parents or society for teaching you these things. The point is to take responsibility for yourself and ensure you’re no longer holding yourself back by believing any of these things.

So, it’s time we stop following these toxic habits and start living with authenticity. It’s time to unlearn toxic lessons in life, so that you can change your life for the better!

I was born really shy and as a child and young adult my self-esteem was very low. Since then I've seeked professional help for mental issues. Not ashamed to admit it. I don't suppress my emotions anymore. Got a lovely wife, great kids, several Univ. degrees and a nice job. Got enough wealth but that isn't the most important part of my life. What matters is what I think of myself and my loved ones. Not a shy kid anymore though my past sometimes is lurking behind some corner to remind me how things were but I'll survive. Find these videos soothing. Thanks! 🖖

Unlearning anything way harder than learning new things

Yesterday I have a bittersweet day, I had classes and I went wrong on an assignment and my instructor said "You just wasted your money being here kid" though I don't really care what other people think, but when he mentions the money, that hit me because I really struggled to be there, However, thinking about the situation AND after watching this video made realize how important it is to ignore people when they punch you right in the face.... Thanks for the video

Took me 38 years to accept help from anyone, for anything. I felt like I had to do everything and didn't realize I felt like that because my dad expected perfection from me about everything. So now I let my spouse carry stuff for me or help me hang pictures or help me dry dishes. I wish I would've known this years ago.

These are all very necessary daily reminders. Quite often we get caught up in life and forget what really matters.

Failure is the foundation successes is built on. Most successful people fail more then unsuccessful people

You must speak when there is a problem

You cannot be silent.

[gewoonik]

Its very important to say no!

If you all the time say yes then others will use you. Abuse you.


If you dont want something dont do it. Say no.

[drebugsita]

YES! Being conflict avoidant only leads to more conflict - internal and external. Be assertive, in a way that feels healthy and natural. You might get pushback, guilt ripping, etc but that's on the other person.

Excellent! This is a powerful video. Thank you Brainy dose.

Sadly, I recognize myself in many of these «toxic lessons to unlearn». Unlearning is a hard process, much more difficult that learning. Indeed, unlearning demands to let go some programmed messages we have engraved in our brain from so many years. When you learn something, you «just» fill in your mind new content. But, when you have to reprogramming your brain, you have to make room in your mind by get rid of harmful content before letting come in new one. It's often a stressful and painful job. But the result is largely worth of it. For using an analogy, unlearning is like a snake that get rid of it's old skin to make room for a new one when it growths. If we really want to growth and improve ourselves, we have to get rid of many «old skins».

This is by far one of best videos I listened to. Super helpful. Thx 🙏

Wow. It's like this video could have been written summarizing how my parents raised me. For context, my father was an emotionally barren Italian Roman Catholic and my mom was an uptight German Jew, both New Yorkers. They believe children should be seen and not heard. With both my older and my younger brothers being complete screw-ups, I was caught in the middle and expected to be my “brothers’ keeper.” I emphatically disagreed with that assertion and was not shy about calling out hypocrisy when I saw it. I cannot tell you how many beatings I got because I dared take my parents to task on their hypocrisy and their “do as I say not as I do” approach to everything. Flash forward to present day, my estranged father (who disowned me for being gay) has been dead for over a decade. My older brother, for the second time, is serving a prison sentence for a violent crime and my younger brother passed away from a drug overdose right before Thanksgiving 2022. I can't even look at family photos from back then without feeling intense pain and anguish. I know I'm not responsible for what happened with the family but I was just “so used” to being guilt-tripped as a kid for not being able to help make everything right. It's videos like this, that make me realize I'm not responsible for everyone else's decisions or the paths they chose. Everyone has free will and if they chose to make a series of choices that turned their lives into nothing more than a rancid smelling, smoldering dumpster fire, then that is their problem. It's not mine.

Being nice feels good 😊 and being assertive feels better. Conflict definitely helps to build resentment
