Hey, it's your girl simply Shanika and you are now listening to The Goddess Confessions. I've noticed that many people struggle to let beautiful souls exist as they are without feeling the need to control or reshape them.

When they realize they cannot dominate or mold someone to their liking, they often turn to destruction instead.

I mean, look at how often men pick apart a woman simply because she dresses in a way that

doesn't align with their personal preferences, or because something about her captivates

them while she remains indifferent.

When a man cannot control a woman, he will resort to all kinds of deception to break her

spirit at the core.

Now women engage in these tactics against other women as well.

If you refuse to bow to them or feed their ego, they will launch psychological

attacks. This can include passive aggression, relentless criticism, poisoning others' perceptions

of you through gossip, exclusion, and intentional invalidation. Even when they choose to distance themselves,

it is rarely done with grace. Instead, they act with malice as if their goal is to humble you,

deepen your insecurities, and make you feel as insignificant as possible. But here's the truth. When someone

actively seeks to tear you down, their feelings toward you run deeper than simple dislike. A well-regulated

person may not care for you, but they will not go out of their way to broadcast their disdain.

They will remain neutral, distant, and composed.

True indifference is the opposite of love, not hatred.

If someone constantly criticizes you, glares at you, speaks ill of you, or deliberately diminishes you,

there is something darker fueling their behavior. These are the symptoms of deep-rooted jealousy,

envy, or another insidious emotion. Now, to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of mistreatment,

I want to remind you of this. People who isolate you often do so in the hopes that you will feel

like you've lost something. They want you to feel the sting of rejection, hoping it will crush your spirit.
