[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually believe this theory is why America is going downhill. It's just another word for being self obsessed. [/quote]

Hard disagree. Assuming I understand correctly, and we are talking on an interpersonal level (not, say, a societal law enforcement level), it’s refusing to let your own ego lead you around or distract you from what really matters. You don’t actually need to respond to every insult, settle every score, defend yourself against every bad faith implication. You can just notice what’s been done, then keep going with your own thing. It’s the equivalent of saying “okay” instead of taking the bait.

I started doing this at a certain point in my life, and it was so freeing. It also made it abundantly clear whom I wanted to spend time with…and didn’t. Gave me a better sense of humor, too. Agree with a PP that the stoics have a lot of good things to say here.[/quote]

Yup. Let them be wrong about you. The life coach school says people pleasing is manipulative, which pairs nicely with this. [/quote]
