What do you do when some family and friends say "all you say / think are negative about the world"
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I get this a lot. "You are so negative about everything, your outlook, worldview, nobody will want to be friends with you"
Sometimes I get "all the people you praise, most people view negatively, and the people you praise like Trump most people frown upon"
I stand my ground insisting I tell the truth at any cost, but in some ways, it hurts because it does feel isolating and alone. I get that being alone is one of the costs of telling the truth in this world. How do ya'll handle this?
People who are programmed will always judge the cover of a book and it's contents will be left by the wayside.
The reason is simple: it challenges their worldview.
One of the hookpoints is to recognize were these people were 10 years ago. Where they, for instance, in the belief that government would never do a certain thing, like, locking everybody in their house, or mandate a transfection that turn anyone into a spike producer. Or even, the FBI would never meddle in: whatever their theme.
The trick is to take people one step further. Not 20 steps. The device I use is question. Depending on the person, I use a closed line of questions (3) before throwing in the kicker. And before I do, I usually say something like: let's look at this together.
It is simply a.matter of overcoming resistance. This method is something different than dropping links and memes. It is quite time.consuming.
A judgement about what I have to show then only possible in relation to knowledge based on proof.
I am also conscious about the fact, that I do not have to convert them. Only to find the hook and hang something on that hook. The burden what to do with it, is theirs.

Aan honest person, who is cpable of looking at himself/herself in the.mirror, to reflect on themselves, will change his ways. Those not there yet, will face a tougher situation. That is simply the way nature works.
Trump once called truth a force of nature. And yes, truth has a habit of being found in every nook and cranny. That is the beauty of nature. It is what it is.
Realism, the habit of recognizing what is real, or in accordance with nature. Is simply that. It is not judgemental, it just points out what is.
The beauty of it could be described as follows: it makes clear the emotional make-up of everyone confronted with truth.
So, I often ask: what is below this? What fear are you now becoming aware of?
This is the point where there is a shut down, or an opening up. Either way, it is their choice. I have given them an easier way out.
