There are 3 types of people that I tend to avoid as best as possible because they suck me dry of all my positivity, motivation and work ethic:
Blamers, Thinkers, and Settlers.
People who do not take Responsibility for their Lives. These people are like negativity magnets. Whenever something bad happens to them it is always the world who is at fault. It’s never them. They just have a crappy life and they cannot do anything about it. These people are known as “Blamers”; always blaming some other event, person or thing for their misfortune.
Blamers tend to waste their entire life in the same job, are always stressed, angry or depressed, and never even think about making their life better because they do not think they have that kind of power, nor do they think it is their responsibility.
The only thing they talk about is what happened to them. They will talk about all the crazy, negative things that happened to them on the weekend, talk about negative past events that happened years back and will rarely talk about what they did that was amazing in order to be able to complain and blame.
Avoid these people or run the risk of you becoming their next blame-scapegoat.
People who are too Critical and Never try new things. The “Thinkers” are people that try to reason everything out before they start doing anything, often choosing to reason to such a point where they logically explain it the way that sounds best to them.
Thinkers will take everything they heard and everything that sounds reasonable to tell you why they cannot take responsibility for their lives or make their life better. These people are very dangerous because they are exactly what society wants.
If they hear something often enough, or if they cannot reason anything else, they will not believe it. Period. And it is hard to get them to change their minds as their beliefs are usually very ingrained and firm. Most of those beliefs come from things they have no knowledge of or of a fear based mindset.
Avoid these people because their logic will sound reasonable and it masks the laziness, apathy and depressed feelings they have inside quite well. Your parents are probably among them as they do not believe you can do it because they do not know how it’s done.
Thinkers are dangerous because they seem to make great points but do so without any actual knowledge of what they are talking about! Meaning all their points are only right by chance.
People who do not Seek to Improve themselves. These people are just lazy, apathetic and selfish. They will not improve themselves not for lack of power, but just because it is too much work and they would rather sit in front of the TV.
These are known as “Settlers”, as they will always settle for “good enough” and never for anything more. Settlers are better than Blamers because they at least admit that they could do something, but they just choose not to, which is an excuse for living an easy life and not doing the extra work to make their life great: making them some of the most selfish people on the planet.
Settlers will always find excuses not to try and tend to avoid going for anything that is unknown. This comes from a fear that they may not be good enough, may not make it, or will lack the motivation.
All of that comes from the belief that they are not good enough.
Avoid these people or help them, but do not get sucked into their own self-pity that they portray. This mix of selfishness and low self-confidence is a very dangerous mixture that is like a vortex that sucks you in. Avoid them if you can!
