This is a great example of, "Know yourself and know the enemy and you will win a thousand battles." - Sun Tzu

I spent months ignoring this man I had feelings for. I tried to meet others, but I couldn't get him off my mind. Finally, we ended up together, and it seemed like it was gonna be this amazing thing. I saw warning signs early, but still, I had hope for this thing. Well, it ended as horrible as it possibly could. Things aren't always black and white when it comes to relationships. No matter how hard we try to guard ourselves from bad people, they still find ways or we find ways to allow these situations to happen. All we can do is run fast and far as soon as we see that first red flag, no matter how small it is. RUN. Or you will continue this pattern forever with these types of people.

Mr Green you are the parents and immediate family I never had. Abusive background but Ive learned much to their disgust to question. I was programmed to serve and give with no way of knowing good bad or how to protect myself. Made to do their skewed cruel bidding. Gosh its heartbreaking when recognising and taking responsibility as an adult but its the only way. Much in/external scarring but less afraid. Taken decades im still learning but their legacy I hope will be kinder healthier and more safe❤

Loneliness is a condition that is hard to describe/ diagnose. Being afraid to be alone will make one put up with a lot of stuff just to keep from being alone.

It’s always boils down to childhood trauma.

Self awareness and self reflection is so valuable in shedding light on how to do things differently

[elizabethpiperwade]

That's why it's said "take time to know him/her".

[lamusa]

What attracted me was that first he's very handsome (halo effect) and second, he was faking the future and stealing my personality (taste, goals, etc) so yeah, I fell for myself cuz he was just mirroring me lol

This short highlights why it is so important to allow yourself the space and grace to heal your inner wounds prior to entering into a new relationship; so you can avoid repeating the same unhealthy patterns. Through introspection, self reflection, acceptance and awareness we can then begin to learn to love and care for ourselves first instead of looking for someone else to fill that void. Recognizing and understanding our role in previous toxic and/or unhealthy relationships allows us to take the lessons learned and make healthier choices moving forward.💛 Great clip.🙌

Narcissism. Love bomb, devalue, discard. Great clip.

I really would appreciate Robert Greene as My College Professor. 😊

Codependency starts from the earlier years of childhood. It’s so difficult to understand what’s going on after experiencing a lifetime of family dysfunctional patterns.
Healthy boundaries and positive patterns are blurred, or simply don’t exist.
Therapy and enough self knowledge are a MUST, before seeking healthy relationship/friendships.

He looked happy, had a warm smile, he looked well traveled, was Very tall, and just handsome to me!!! He was hilarious as well and sweet charming, smooth with his speech AND his whole demeanor...he just seemed so very intelligent as well.❤ but i knew he was a Sagittarius...that was my first warning ⚠️ then wjen he said he had a few tricks up his sleeve to "get" me. Red 😂

True! I learned lesson hard way - the best actors are not on the stage or screen but in real life. Love bombing can sometimes be so subtle and look so genuine that most suspecious people can be fooled. Thanks Robert ❤!

Sometimes I’m attracted to the power dynamics between a person with dark triad traits and me, an empath. It feels cathartic in a twisted way to be able to see manipulation and mind games right away, and to be able to be the one who decides when to leave the dynamic, on my own terms, after either staying to learn more about this person’s manipulative tendencies or straight away to escape the chaos. It is enticing on a certain level, to go toe-to-toe with the darkness and not get pulled in.

Years ago, I’m sitting at a small diner in Los Angeles . Across the counter of me was an older Jewish woman, a sweetheart. We had a conversation about relationships. At the end she says, “ if you want to get to know her, let her talk. Just listen, let her keep talking.” Best advice ever. True wisdom.
Ps, we first started talking about how to make a proper chicken soup, 😊Lovely.

I've been love bombed three times. I fell for it twice. Then I noticed a pattern. So when a guy love bombed me again, I took a step back. Because like, I knew the dude for 2 days and he was acting I'm the love of his life. When I created a little distance and tried to slow the pace down, the guy got so mad. So yep, red flags are always present from the Beginning. Thankfully I noticed more red flags quickly and left.

[pearlsbwine]

This is good advice for people with limited life experience but ultimately anyone can get/be "played". You can't catch every single person because we're all duplicitous.

[Scorpio]

This is exactly what happened to me. I started to ask myself that same question “Why am I attracted to this person?”

[thecompass]

The people who are most at risk to these predators are emotionally neglected and lack the insight in the first place. You can’t protect a Self you don’t have access to. Thus, therapy.
