Hello beautiful and handsome hivers. I welcome you all here again. I hope you all are in a good state of mind.
I recently moved into a new apartment in a new environment. I realize that there is always a lot to explore. Firstly, it is an environment where you meet a different people with different mindsets.
Here in this new environment, some people mind their business while some don't mind talking at behind a person's back without fear. For a newbie like me, it is quite painful to hear people conclude about you without even getting to know you fully.
In this new community, I have learnt to not mind what other people think or say about my personality and character because they don't know the real me.
I am the kind of person who doesn't care what people say behind my back about me or my lifestyle because I am friendly with all. I interact with people around as my spirit leads and I don't push myself into doing what I am not comfortable with.
In this new place, I realized that most people here are nosy. They always want to know what you do for a living, who you mingle with, the kind of job you do, and places you go to. I am not used to this kind of interrogation from non family members and so I don't reply them and this got them confused while I am happy about it. The less you know about me the better for all of us.
When you speak too much about your affairs you will sell yourself to your enemies, and you will have less value. Then, they will use you as their daily topic of gossip which would later lead to * over familiarity*.
I have experienced so much in life that I understand how minding your business and keeping to oneself can help a person in so many areas of life. Most times, when you tgo ahead to tell people or even friends about your plans, they most times end up discouraging whatever good ideas you have planned.
So, I limit the way I interact with neighbours and my ways of doing things with people in the environment. Even with the way I walkand the way I dress attracts value and respect to me. I see it in their eyes that they like my vibes.
Asides minding my business, I don't interfere in other people's business because I barely have time for such.
When you distance yourself from certain people, they will want to come close to you. But, mind you, they have a different mindset for coming closer to you. They only want to know things about you and how to attack you.
We ought to be careful. Be attentive and let our success speak for us instead.
Thank you for reading till the end.
