[00:00:18.85]Welcome back again to Rooted&Real.
[00:00:22.89]We’ve been talking about ‘Betrayals’.
[00:00:27.77]And today, we’re going to talk about
how you will ‘Stop Explaining
[00:00:34.33]to People Who Aren’t Listening’.
[00:00:38.69]Listen, you’re exhausted.
Why?
[00:00:43.33]Because you keep trying to be understood
by people who benefit
[00:00:47.29]from misunderstanding you.
[00:00:49.53]Can you imagine they benefit
from you not getting it?
[00:00:54.33]Weird, huh?
[00:00:55.53]Some people don’t want clarity.
[00:00:57.29]They just want to be right.
[00:01:00.05]So stop sending paragraphs to
people who reply with one word.
[00:01:06.97]And there are many of those, eh?
[00:01:09.01]Stop defending your boundaries
to people who crossed them.
[00:01:14.25]Your peace is not up for debate,
and neither are your boundaries.
[00:01:20.25]So to anyone who’s been betrayed,
say it once.
[00:01:27.49]‘Mara moja tu’ (just once).
[00:01:29.41]Then let your silence do the rest.
[00:01:34.49]Okay?
[00:01:36.49]We’re going to work on the next one, which
is ‘Your Softness Isn’t the Problem’.
[00:01:42.33]Think about it.
See ya.
