mina sad bc I washed her (poopcovered) paws..cats need us to stay healthy via weysii Why People Hate You For No Reason (Real Psychology) | Mr.Hoodie
This video breaks down the real psychology behind it, using Machiavelli's blunt realism and Carl Jung's theory of projection instead of the usual "they're just jealous" clichés. You'll learn the four real reasons ppl end up disliking s/o: hidden jealousy toward ppl who live freely, the unspoken social hierarchy groups defend when s/o new threatens it, Carl Jung's concept of psychological projection (why ppl accuse you of traits that are actually theirs), and the uncomfortable truth that setting boundaries & saying no unsettles ppl who are used to controlling you. Along the way, you'll get an honest, no-excuses self-check: if you're being rejected everywhere—at work, with friends, at home—is the common factor actually you? And finally, three practical, Machiavelli-inspired ways to stop taking other ppl's judgment personally & start treating it as information instead. This video is for anyone in their 20s, 30s, or 40s who has ever been disliked, judged, or excluded without a clear reason—especially if you're working on personal growth, self-confidence, or healthier boundaries, and you're tired of assuming s/t is wrong with you every time s/o doesn't like you.
maybe back in a day we could say that: How do you explain the extreme reaction against the upcoming Odyssey film by Christopher Nolan? There is a huge swell of ppl who hate on the various actors who are depicting fictionalized characters from a story that was written 2800 years ago. Most of whom are never going to earn what the actors will make for starring in this one film, much less ever be handed $250 million to film anything. And in a way, even if the projection isn't the real you, it is still ultimately jealousy/envy which has escalated the situation, sad as that may be—I've heard some ppl say whatever they are being accused of is a lot less harsher than the truth bc we are always worse than we know ourselves to be.
The unspoken rule is we are meant to try to uplift/enlighten as many ppl along the way, not to ignore them; though I'm guilty of this, I really don't recommend it, imagine the annoying person becoming obsessed with you (THAT). If you have ever helped a person who feared s/t irrational—they kind of love you after.. big time, platonically as a friend.
To interact platonically means to have a close, loving relationship that is completely free of sexual desire or romantic involvement. It describes connections based on mutual respect, deep emotional bonds, and shared interests, much like those discussed on Reddit. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Isn't Machiavelli a pretty rotten guy to be emulating/quoting? They basically say he was "pragmatic" rather than endorsing leaders to be bad; ok whatever, if the ends justify the means, u're open to grave evil = amoral behaviour. Have seen how vindictive ppl get when ignored? It doesn't go over so well, it acerbates their need for relevance & in the end will drive them to desperate measures to regain clout by "any means possible," which often entails breaking the laws of decency (lawlessness).
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Florentine diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince, written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. It established him as the father of modern political science by arguing political success often requires ruthlessness, pragmatism, and a willingness to act amorally rather than strictly adhering to traditional Christian virtues. His enduring reputation & philosophy are defined by several core concepts: 1.] Ends Justify the Means: Machiavelli is widely recognized for the idea that achieving a stable & secure state is the ultimate goal, leaders must be willing to use whatever methods necessary—including deception & force—to maintain power. 2.] Better to be Feared than Loved: In his most famous piece of advice, he posited since love is fickle & subjects can easily turn on a ruler, inspiring fear is a much more reliable tool for governance, provided the ruler avoids actual hatred. 3.] Machiavellian Philosophy: His frank separation of politics from ethics gave rise to term "Machiavellian," which is still used today to describe cunning, scheming, and unscrupulous political behaviour. 4.] Political Realism: Unlike classical philosophers who theorized ideal, utopian societies, Machiavelli focused on "effectual truth" of how the world actually works, shaping the foundation of modern realist political theory. Beyond The Prince, his legacy includes Discourses on Livy, a foundational text on republicanism, as well as his historical and military writings that profoundly influenced generations of thinkers.
