Hello everyone, it’s another wonderful evening again today and I’ll be talking on this interesting topic which is “Be genuinely happy for others”.
So, I saw a comment on someone's post today and it got me. On social media today and even in real life it is easy for people to now project their fears on others. While it is natural to feel envy or a bit of insecurity, it is important to recognize that some people are crossing the line by projecting their fears onto others.
Projection happens when we set our thoughts, feelings, or experiences to someone else. Which can be harmful, particularly with painful emotions like sadness, anger, or fear. When our fears are being projected onto others, we imply, "I'm not happy, so you shouldn't be either."
I saw a post from a newly married couple, and someone commented that their marriage won't last. They said the bride should come and ask them because marriage is not sweet and they'll soon get divorced. Instead of congratulating them or just scrolling past, this person chose to leave negative comments like, "Just wait, marriage is hard," and another commented, “You think you're happy now, but just wait until reality sets in." Just because marriage wasn't easy for them doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone. Why project their fears onto others?
When you project your fears on others, it might get to some people and it might not.
The project has its impact when people share their happiness and you’re projecting your fears instead of you to be happy for them and focus on your journey.
Projecting fears can diminish joy and excitement, make people feel they are not allowed to be happy, make people feel less, and can as well damage the relationship you have with them.
Learn to be happy for others, practice genuine empathy, and be full of positivity. Everyone faces challenges and it is okay to have fears and insecurities but because you had a bad experience doesn’t mean others must or will have that experience. Stop being a bad person and a troll!!!
Finally, Learn to be genuinely happy for others. It’s important to know that when we let our fears affect how we feel about someone else, it is bad.
So, when we understand and focus on our own lives, changing negative thoughts, being present in the moment, and celebrating what others achieve, we can build a peaceful, supportive, and happy environment. I want us to remember that when someone else succeeds, it doesn’t take away from our success, it adds more joy and positivity to our lives.
Thanks for your time.
