Think of your life as a bucket filled with life's blessings called water. Now, think of these types of people who will poke holes in your bucket of water.
- Gossips. Watch out for those type who deliberately tear other people down. One day, they will tear you down too.
- The whiner who doesn't do anything. Whining is normal, yet contagious. Whining without action just pokes holes in your bucket.
- The ones who count your mistakes and wipe it on your face when you wrong them. I want you to run away as far as you can. Wiping the past in front of your face is a method of guilt-tripping you. Guilt-trippers won't and will never stop poking holes in your bucket.
- People who belittle and make fun of you. Jokes are half-meant. It's a socially acceptable way of saying, "I want to stab and hurt you; I'm not responsible if you bleed and die". Some jokes are okay. Some jokes are not. Learn to distinguish jokes that aren't.
- Emotional Blackmailers. Blackmail is a sign of immaturity. It's a sign of unreliability. It's a sign of being untrustworthy. You don't deserve to be treated like cr*p.
- The Promiser who never delivers. Corollary to number 5, you don't need to be treated like cr*p. You are not meant to be stood up.
- Those who borrow money from you but don't repay, when you both know they could. You are not a leech's happy meal to suck upon. You worked hard for your money. You exchanged your life energy for a tool of value. You don't need to be treated like cr*p.
- People who don't value what you value, and force you to abandon it. Different people have different values. That's a fact. It's another story when they shove their values down your throat. That's disrespect.
- People who deliberately put you in danger.You are not a sacrificial lamb to be slaughtered for their comfort and security.
- People who approach you ONLY when they need something and forget you once it's done. We are not vending machines. We are humans.
