Nothing at all wrong with that.. some peoples behavior is Vile, Toxic and based in Lies… I’d do it to stay away from That.. But that would Not be a decision based on Protecting my feelings but Rather my Character.. Make decisions based on truth and Facts… They never change… Feelings are easily manipulated and can lie to you…
Feelings are wonderful.. A great reward, if they’re based in truth… Terribly destructive if based on lies.. many horrible things are done because it FEELS good to the person doing them.. I’m not saying don’t Feel.. But don’t make your Decisions based on feelings… if your compass is Truth, the actions will be Proper, and the resulting Feelings will be a blessing.. and I’m referring to “My”compass (which I personally choose to be Gods Truth) and “My” actions.. in doing that I control My Actions and God rewards me with Good Feelings.. Action is the SEED.. Feelings are the Fruit.. No one else has Control of them …
Block out all things that hurt my feelings and can lead to criticisms or critiques of my behavior, so that I am centered within myself and can go on living in a bubble of cognitive dissonance-tinged enlightenment.
C.S. Lewis said a similar thing about those who think loving something besides themselves is too risky of a proposition.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

We as a community have been infected with this. It didnt used to be this way. I've been fighting against it since I found it.
100%....I know a narcissist and one day I pointed out their flawed thinking and their response was "I'm sorry your view of me is so jaded. If you reached out to anyone in my contacts on my phone they would disagree" .......of course the contacts would disagree because the narcissist cut all ties and blocked anyone who disagrees or challenges them.
That is a personality trait I can never understand and not worth a second of time.
This is basically removing a-holes from your life. Nobody is stating don't be an a-hole because that hurts my feelings. Instead, it is no longer allowing the a-hole to have a voice in your life. Seems grown up to me.
Amen… check your own mail… correct what you need to, within you, based on truth… if you can’t agree, agree to disagree....
The 1st line in the post refers to DELETING what “HURTS YOU” in Conversations you READ? DELETE NUMBERS ? BLOCK CONTACTS ETC?
They’re Grooming a GENERATION of Soy Boys that are “Damaged” by what someone TEXTS …How about getting your eyes off of yourself, Thicken your skin, growing the hell up and quit whining about your Booboos.. Realize the world is not much of a POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT right now, and that you might find more HEALING by getting your eyes off yourself and helping others through these tough times… In fact you might even GROW UP !!!
(And the YOU I’m referring to is the person who wrote the post, not the comment)
Yeah, this totally reads like it comes from a person with the mental toughness and emotional stability to be on a blood soaked battlefield fighting in a war by this time next year.
I started doing this about 15 years ago, and let me tell you. It’s so hard to get the leeches away. But I’m living my best life now. There were many times in my life where I try to give people advice… That advice was … Sever all ties!!!
sometimes you just have to do that - rid yourself of negative forces surrounding you.
In other words stick your head in the ground like an ostrich. Don't truat yourself to know what to do if you were to have a negative feeling or experience.
There is a scripture passage that came to me one day when my feelings were hurt by someone very close to me..... If you are not welcomed in their home say peace be with you, shake the dust off your sandals and walk away.
In retrospect somehow that person regrets their action. If they apologize I'd forgive but they usually dont and its on them.
People like this can run but they can’t hide from life. Life has a way of kicking your legs out from under you and if you’re such a whimp that you haven’t built your self up enough to withstand hurt feelings….then you’re not long for this life. A family member is a teacher’s aide in a liberal town and the elementary school there cushions words they say to the kids in velvet so as not to disturb their sensibilities, ie can’t say “test” because that leads to anxiety so instead say “show what you know”. This BS sets up a generation that is vulnerable to breakdowns, suicides.
For all we know this person posted this shit because they just got out of an abusive relationship or because they had to dump a really shitty friend. I know it's really easy to automatically think the worst of people and their motivations, but the thing is you still have to try and be Christ-like. Christ did not want his flock to hate. Christ did not want his flock to be cruel. Christ did not want his flock to be so harsh and judgmental of everyone around them. Posts like this are the kinds of things that the Pharisees might have said. You should first at least give this person the benefit of the doubt. Even your enemies should have a hard time finding something bad to say about you without lying, if you were doing it right.
These people are in for a very rude awakening that they will not be able to handle. So basically it sorts itself out.
We call that phenomenon, the natural law of the universe as dictated by God :)
If I had a dollar for every time I've wanted to say "grow up".....
Be a man not a mouse are the words I grew up with.
I've had to block a few people from my life. Nothing wrong with that.

Yes, these people were no good for me. They also did make me "feel" bad alot though.
I like feelings. I'm a pretty sensitive person to alot.

I am saving this thank you.
Good wisdom.
This is literal narcissistic thinking.
Block out all things that hurt my feelings and can lead to criticisms or critiques of my behavior, so that I am centered within myself and can go on living in a bubble of cognitive dissonance-tinged enlightenment.

Any quote by CS Lewis gets my updoot an my full attention. Thanks for that one, Fren. I will save it to my collection.

That's true.
It seems, however, there are two ways to look at the post.
One is removing people who like to try to make you feel bad. Disordered people. Manipulative people.
The other is avoiding reality because it makes you feel bad. "If you tell me I can't have babies because I'm a man I'm going to block and report you."
Two different things.
One is healthy; the other is not.
Sure. I can see the other way now. Ty.
It is where one is living in a false reality and gets upset when their false reality is scrutinized.
Yes, avoidance in this case lacks mental toughness to engage and defend the false reality.

Oh man, we're so fucked.

If I follow this advice, there will be no more
democrats
BLM
Antifa
LGBTQ A-Z
socialists
any other woke people I didn't list🤣😂
Ha.... we can't censor everything for you, you must do it now :)
And, stick your fingers in your ears and go, "Lalalalala -- I'm not listening -- lalalalala." 🙄
The left has no inner voice, they rely on, and are controlled with their emotions. Many RINOs are the same...
I have found always telling the truth, talking about how good God is and proudly saying I voted for Trump has the same affect!
Divide and Conquer
Back in my day we called these types of people faggots and it still applies today.

This is good advice. I've had much more peace in my life since I've been removing anything or anyone negative!
