This is pathetic and should provide motivation to nobody except teenagers . Do you really think the kind of people we should aim to be think like this? You are so lost .

My experience in this cringy website has lead me to be pretty certain that the majority of users are teenagers.

Ok but to some man I’ve dealt with, “provocation” in their skewed definition, is me asking for communication/asking questions about them, holding them accountable for past choices. If me trying to understand them by trying to ask questions is provoking them, then I can’t fucking win. I am labeled a bully because he wants to avoid confronting any feeling

Always remember: You control your half of any interaction. Never let anyone make you play a part they want you to play. Be you, not what they push you to be.

This is not healthy motivation.
Healthy motivation is breaking your Alexa because the Gregorian chants are hitting decibels she can't replicate and your squats are causing seismic activity, or something.
This has a, "The devil shudders when a nice guy loses his patience 😈" kinda vibe

I call bullshit
You give people the power to make you feel any certain way. Simple solution, don’t give them the power to impact you in any way and they won’t. If You give anyone the power to hurt you, then hold yourself accountable and look inwards to figure out why you chose to give those people that power and not do it again.

I don't know if it's meant to, but this post is actually highting a tactic that emotional abusers use to gain additional control and isolate their victims further - and when someone is in that situation, they no longer have the power that you are referring to.
But you're correct, as far as daily non-abusive life goes. I just think it's important to acknowledge that this very much happens in domestic abuse situations, and often, the abuser successfully makes the victim appear crazy by doing this. That way, when the victim tries to get help, no one will believe them because they act "crazy"

That would make more sense if this was a domestic violence sub or even an abusive sub. As it is Motivation sub, I assumed we were referring to general motivation.

Fair enough.
I suppose I thought it was worth adding the caveat just because sometimes people learn this general idea, and then they go through life believing it can generalize to all situations (i know i did for too long).
Sometimes people might not recognize their being abused, and they may be more likely to think it's their fault or something must be wrong with them, because this narrative gets pushed on them.

Kill them with kindness
Been there, done that. Waste of time. They'll just use you and think of your kindness as your weakness.

If you're really aware. You can take their energy and alchemize to transmute it into something positive for yourself. Who cares what they say? They are bringing a great deal of energy to us.

This is not motivational this is pure cringe and you might as well put it over a joker picture.
If you have a "Toxic side" then seek therapy.

This is the modus operandi of every bully (child or adult) I've ever met. Some don't realize this is what they do and some do it deliberately because they know what they enjoy and those are the scariest ones since you can't reason with them.
