Avoiding certain people to protect your emotional health is not weakness. It is wisdom. You are wise enough to safeguard your heart and feelings. Some people in your life will only hurt you instead of building you. Their joy comes from tearing you apart.
When you know their intentions, begin avoiding them. It doesn't matter who they are. They could be your siblings, best friend, parent, colleague, or someone you spend a considerable amount of time with.
Don't stick around until your self-esteem is too wounded to let you stand up for yourself. The moment you realize that someone around you is not serving you well, avoid it like the plague.
Get busy, walk away, indulge in things you love doing, and keep the company of other people who genuinely care about you. Do anything that will keep you out of their reach.
Most people tend to get their power from putting others down. Don't be their victim. Don't let anyone insult you, give you crude comments, step on your toes, and use you to their advantage just because they can.
You are worthy even with all your imperfections and shortcomings. You deserve the world and only you can give it to yourself. And you can start by avoiding anything that puts you down and makes you feel unwanted.
This also goes for activities that don't benefit you. If you have been doing a destructive activity, it's time you began to avoid it.
It could be a few bottles of alcohol everyday after work, watching adult films daily, gambling, or doing something that you know is not good for you in the long run.
Stop ignoring that little voice in your head and begin avoiding these activities before they turn into full-blown addictions that are hard to stop. Here are avoid quotes to guide you.
