You stabbed people in the back and DARE to play victim

I KNOW I am not perfect...no one is. I’ve never played “the victim” because I always acknowledge when I am wrong. I know I am flawed, which is why it is also easy for me to accept other people’s shortcomings. Acceptance is a key factor in any relationship. That being said, I won’t allow anyone to kick me down repetitively or to use me either. I stay away so people’s negativity won’t creep into my life.

Honestly, I always see everyone as a potential friend. I don’t care if you eat salmon or sardines, my heart will be open to you if you are a genuine person. If you ask for my help, I willingly give it because I too have been at the receiving end of a helping hand; so I always make the conscious effort to pay it forward.

However, if I help you and I put my integrity on the line for you, then you destroy that trust, I won’t take it sitting down. You use me, hit me below the belt, and expect me to like it?! Duh. I set high standards for my life and the people I allow to be a part of it. After all, we become the company we keep. And life is too short to be anything but good, positive, and happy!

I guess, no matter how careful we are, there really are people who have mastered the art of deception. Typically, when people play me for a fool, I say what’s on my mind without rancor. Then, I quietly walk away with dignity. No need for drama because I’ve always believed in the power of “Graceful Exits”. I’ll never throw a pity party, putting others down just so I can lift myself up and prove to others I am right. No need to be defensive! I know my worth and the people who are dear to me know that, too.

Sadly there are many people out there who will stab you in the back, even after you’ve been very nice to them. Sad truth! They’re everywhere. And it is probably safe to say that this has happened to all of us at some point of time in our lives. The worst part is when they pretend as if they’re the ones bleeding while holding the knife they plunged ever so deeply into your back.

These people prey on the soft-hearted ones—they use you, take advantage of you, and abuse you. They just totally push you to your limits. When you finally explode to right their wrong, you are the one who is NOW branded as evil, vile, and wrong. They twist real facts and make up stories to suit their own narrative. People like them are TOXIC.

It’s a sad reality that once you call toxic people out on their lies and make the decision to stand up and protect yourself, you somehow become the negative one in their eyes. They make ways to ensure your integrity is besmirched and play “inapi” to situations they created! It’s hard to give these types of people a second chance because you’re essentially giving them another bullet for their gun because they missed you the first time.

It has happened to me that I tried to fix an issue privately amongst the people concerned, but this toxic person shared that message to others “kasi naghahanap ng kakampi”. The sheer audacity! Funny that the only person this negatron succeeded in putting down is herself. How cheap to stoop so low. Actions will always speak louder than words! Be very wary of people whose words do not match their actions.

There is always cosmic justice in this world. It is rather ironic that no matter how much this person tried to put me down, to the point of spreading half-truths in the form of sharing my incomplete private messages to put me in a bad light, nothing happened. Her own circle of friends even messaged me to say they see the truth. This is a lesson which shows—be careful of what comes out of your mouth because you might one day end up choking on the crap that you talk about.

I’ve encountered many people like this, but in my book, it’s still better na ako ang naloko, kesa ako ang nanloloko. I also won’t allow incidents like these to tarnish the way I see the world. Life, in spite of people like them, will always be beautiful. I won’t ever let them dull my shine. I’ve long realized that the more you mistreat people, the more blessings come their way. So bring it on, backstabbers.

No matter how much stories these negative people fabricate, God knows the truth. He sees everything. People who hurt others will have their conscience pricked; and karma will take care of the rest. The truth and God’s infinite goodness shall always prevail!
