Individual Perception refers to how a person interprets and understands the world around them. It is influenced by various factors, including personal experiences, beliefs, values, culture, and cognitive processes.
Individual perception affects how we perceive and interpret sensory information, make sense of our surroundings, and form opinions and judgments about people, situations, and events. It can vary greatly from person to person, leading to diverse perspectives and interpretations of reality.
I appreciate that the Toxic Tenants are allowed to share their perceptions of events that took place, but there is no factual evidence to back up their allegations. They claimed to have evidence for their allegations, but I saw none.
All I see is that their perceptions are not based on facts they had, but on their “feelings”. They are judging me based on their limited perceptions of who I am.
I am a very emotional person, you can tell by my writing, and sometimes my emotions tend to get in my way, so I try very hard to find facts that I can cling to. Part of what I loved about working in Property Management is that there were so many rules to follow, and I didn’t need to use my emotions. I had so many rules from various agencies that I needed to be mindful of, and staying on top of them and any changes that occurred was a full-time job in itself!
It’s great to recognize my emotions, and I am actively trying to find facts to help me navigate the challenging situations I face. Balancing emotions and facts can be a valuable approach to decision-making and problem-solving and is something I try to do as much as I can.
Here are a few tips that I found helped me in my journey!
Acknowledge and allow your emotions: It’s important to recognize and accept your emotions as they arise. Emotions provide valuable information about your needs and desires. Allow yourself to feel and process them, rather than suppressing or ignoring them.
When I truly opened up about how I felt, I surprised myself! I was angry, more angry than I had been in a very long time, over the injustice of it all that I experienced. This anger led me to educate myself on the toxic traits that I was seeing displayed, and it helped me to release that anger.
I still get angry, mostly over the lack of support from the legal resources and the slowness of change. In recent weeks, my research has shown me that things are changing and people have ways to protect themselves from similar situations. I am grateful for that!
Find a healthy outlet: Discover activities that help you release your emotions constructively. This could include writing in a journal, talking to a trusted friend or family member, practicing mindfulness or meditation, engaging in physical exercise, or pursuing hobbies or creative outlets.
I have done all of the above, and it does help, especially my writing. I write a lot, not only on my Blog! I love my walks out in nature, too, but haven’t been able to do that as much as I like lately. It has all helped me in innumerable ways!
Pause and reflect: When your emotions start to influence your decision-making, take a step back. Give yourself some time and space to reflect on the situation. Consider the emotions you are experiencing and how they might be affecting your perception of the situation or the decisions you are making.
This one is hard for me, as I am emotional and I tend to get defensive as a result, but I am better at it than I was! I find it easier to walk away for a bit and take some time out to get my emotions under control before I continue.
Seek a balanced perspective: While emotions are important, it’s also crucial to consider factual information and logical reasoning. Look for evidence, gather relevant facts, and consider different perspectives on a situation. Assess both the emotional and logical aspects to find a well-rounded perspective.
I have been doing this almost every day for the past few years, looking for factual information and using logical reasoning to make meaning of my experience.
Engage in critical thinking: Evaluate the credibility and validity of the information you find. Separate facts from opinions and biases. Apply critical thinking skills, such as questioning assumptions, seeking evidence, and analyzing potential outcomes. This will help you make more informed decisions.
This, too, is something I have been doing for the past few years, separating facts from their personal opinions and biases. I have questioned their many assumptions and as a result, made more informed decisions for myself. I sought evidence of what they claimed and found nothing to support them in their many written documents.
There are Adult Bullies who go out of their way to create personally titled websites where they cyberbully their targets with the contents. You can’t deny the factual evidence their own websites supply, as they are harassing others out of maliciousness. They share other people’s personal information while hiding their own, which is also factual!
stellareddy.com, districtschoolboardofniagara.com and pvslocates.ca.
Practice self-care: Taking care of your emotional well-being is essential. Engage in self-care activities like getting enough sleep, eating well, engaging in physical exercise, and practicing relaxation techniques. By nurturing yourself, you can create a more stable emotional foundation.
I have managed to ground myself in the past couple of years. I no longer have insomnia, nor do I fear people and their intentions towards me anymore. The fear is gone! I come and go in my community with no issues!
I have come to know who I am, and I am determined to ensure that I no longer am a victim of nasty past Tenants from the workplace in various websites they created in my name. I have options now that I didn’t have before, and so does anyone else who becomes a target of similar individuals. We have ways now to fight back against cyberbullying!
Doxxing polices have spread to various hosting sites, including my own, where it is illegal for an individual to share private information about someone else, without their permission. Everything I share, including the many documents I received over the years, had names removed, except for my own.
Which is why I don’t name my Bullies on here, but I can share any websites they put on the internet. You can share anything posted on the internet, it is in the public domain, unless these creators don’t allow it. Some plugins stop people from copying content.
Which is why stellareddy.com was hosted on a free speech nameserver out of Panama, cybercastco.com, that expired last month. The contents that showed up last year in March 2024 claimed to share my address, with pictures of myself and my hubby, and picture of my house and a map pointing directly to my door. That is doxxing… That info would not be allowed in the content of the majority of the hosting companies now.
This is a fantastic change I have seen in the past 81/2 years. If you ever find your info online that was not put there by you, find the hosting company through WHOIS and file a complaint, and it will be removed. Even if you find your content on the Wayback Machine, you can request it be removed from there, too!
- search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent:“hackers and online vigilantes routinely dox both public and private figures.”
Remember that emotions and facts can coexist, and finding a healthy balance between the two is crucial. It’s okay to rely on facts to support your decision-making process while still acknowledging and respecting your emotions. I try every day to find a healthy balance!
