Maintaining a Healthy Psyche

Learning to disengage from gossip and not absorb the negativity of others is a powerful skill. Over time, you grow a kind of emotional resilience—an inner strength that allows you to recognize that people’s unkind words or actions often reflect more about their inner struggles than about you. Often, negativity stems from insecurity or dissatisfaction within themselves. In some cases, when people mock or criticize you, it’s a reaction to something they see in you that they lack—confidence, kindness, ambition, or uniqueness. Remember, their behaviour says more about them than it ever will about you
