Stop Expecting Applause from Those Secretly Against You
Introduction
As you continue to successfully manifest your desired reality, you may notice that people you considered close, even family members, withhold public validation and support. This can happen at gatherings and on social media. Your joy and success may trigger negative feelings in others, especially narcissists in your life. These individuals may have deep-seated insecurities and feel a need to maintain control by presenting themselves as supportive allies while secretly harboring feelings of envy and resentment towards those around them. This duplicity can be confusing and damaging, especially when we seek acknowledgment and affirmation from them.
Moreover, some individuals may not even support you to your face, offering no genuine encouragement or validation even in private. This type of covert opposition can be particularly insidious, as it undermines your confidence and makes you question your self-worth.
The detrimental effects of this behavior on our emotional well-being and personal growth are significant. When we consistently look for validation from narcissists or people who do not have the best intentions toward us, we may find ourselves feeling perpetually unworthy and doubting our own accomplishments. The lack of genuine support can erode our self-esteem and make us question our capabilities, leading to a cycle of dependency and insecurity. This can set us back in our manifestation journey.
Understanding this pattern is crucial for breaking free from its negative effects. By recognizing the signs of this type of manipulation and learning to seek validation from more authentic and supportive sources, we can surround ourselves with people who will support our soul journey and manifestations. In this post, we will explore the dynamics of these narcissistic patterns, why people may fail to publicly acknowledge our achievements, and how we can empower ourselves to move beyond their influence.
