New video by Inspire and Thrive that I had to share. It contains very helpful information!
When the tenants first started bullying me in the workplace in 2016, I became very fearful of what their false allegations could do to my professional life, especially when the sites started showing up in November 2017. I had to meet strangers all the time, from prospective tenants to contractors, and it became scary for me, especially after I was questioned about the site by a few prospective tenants who admitted they were there because of it.
This fear led me to behave as noted in this paragraph below, and also led me to quit the job there. I spent a couple of years in the beginning “defending” myself: reacting to their posts on the sites they had on my own sites, documenting all the lies they told in my own content, and it totally drained me. I couldn’t do it anymore. Now, no more energy is given to the individuals who came after me, but given to the traits they were showing me. It is more helpful!
I share all I have learned, and still learn, in the hopes that someone else isn’t as affected by the experience of being cyberbullied and doxxed online as I was by people from a workplace. Your voice matters, and only you can speak to your personal experiences, not strangers who have no idea who you are.
“Most people spend hours every week defending themselves to people who already made up their minds. Reacting to provocations. Explaining choices nobody asked about. Handing over their energy to anyone who demands it — and wondering why they feel drained.”
Never React, Never Explain, Just Ignore | 7 Dark Psychology Tricks
Most people spend hours every week defending themselves to people who already made up their minds. Reacting to provocations. Explaining choices nobody asked about. Handing over their energy to anyone who demands it — and wondering why they feel drained.
This video breaks down 7 psychology-backed principles rooted in behavioural science and Machiavellian strategy that teach you how to stop bleeding energy in the wrong places. You’ll learn why silence hits harder than any comeback, how strategic withdrawal makes people value your presence, what actually happens inside someone’s brain when they’re ignored, and how doing absolutely nothing can be the most dominant move available to you.
These aren’t motivational concepts. They’re documented psychological mechanisms — and once you understand how they work, you’ll start seeing them everywhere.
In this video:
Why your attention is your most valuable asset — and how people exploit it without you realizing. The neuroscience behind why being ignored causes the same brain response as physical pain. How Machiavelli’s principles of selective presence still hold up against modern behavioural psychology. The three types of people quietly draining your energy and how to handle each one. Why calculated inaction — doing nothing — is often the highest-leverage move in any conflict.
