Don't let people waste your time and energy



If anyone asked me what is most important before a few years, I would have different answers than now. I did not appreciate my time and peace enough. I let in my life people who did not deserve it. After I cut it off, I realized how much clean space I have for others who deserve that spot.
How can you know who is the right friend for you, and who is not? It sounds so simple, but it is not. You can’t know someone at first sight. Everyone tries to represent in the best light, hiding flaws like snakes are hiding legs. When you know the person better, some things swim out on the surface and the previous diamond loses its shine. That is why is not good to glorify people, they will screw you.
How do you know that a person wastes your time and energy?
A person who talks only about herself. I was there, this happened to me, that guy adores me, etc.
A person who talks with underestimation about your problems. Oh, that is nothing. I survived worse than that.
A person who doesn’t know to listen. You know that when a person never has commented about your story.
I told you personally. These are people who are happy when you have problems because they can give you I told you “pieces of advice.
A person who can’t celebrate your happiness.  That person will always find failures in your job, partner, hobby.
A person is jealous of your success.
A person who ignores you. You have unanswered emails, messages, phone calls because a person did not find time for you. 
It is better to have an open enemy than a fake friend. If someone dislikes you honestly, you know what to expect. When a fake friend is in connection with you, you will walk on the eggs. About this, I can’t talk to her. About this, neither. 
If you have experience with people who waste your time and energy, you are free to comment.

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public. You can see in your private statistic a number of dislikes.  Some people have a bad humor and don't have a clue how their reaction can hurt others. You will tell me this is a freedom of speech and free choice, but also as an owner of my profiles in social media I have right to restrict negative comments. I am against censoring and dictatorship and every critic is welcome, but I don't tolerate rude and abusive behavior. Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
