This video is eye-opening! Recognizing toxic friendships is crucial for protecting our peace and emotional well-being. The Stoic approach to maintaining boundaries and focusing on what we can control really resonated with me. It's empowering to know that we can choose who we allow into our lives and that it’s okay to walk away from negative influences. Thank you for shedding light on this important topic and helping us build healthier relationships!

When kindness was the only way I felt "loved" by my parents, friends and other family, it's no wonder I became a doormat throughout school years.
But as a wise saying goes, the burnt hand teaches the best.
Thank you for uploading these Stoic teachings, they make clear what I have been suspecting for years now.
