Kindness Steamroller: Crush Trolls With Grace

WEBVTT
00:00:00.837 --> 00:00:07.337
Hey folks, in today's episode, it's kind of tailing a little bit off of what
00:00:07.337 --> 00:00:11.657
we talked about in episode 26 when we talked about haters.
00:00:12.117 --> 00:00:15.637
And what I'm calling this is the kindness steamroller because,
00:00:15.957 --> 00:00:18.937
you know, it's something people deal with way more.
00:00:19.017 --> 00:00:21.697
And I've been noticing it way more on LinkedIn, especially.
00:00:22.017 --> 00:00:26.057
I mean, Instagram's always been a disaster. X is a battleground daily.
00:00:26.377 --> 00:00:29.897
But the trolls and the bots have been increasing every single day.
00:00:30.017 --> 00:00:32.957
And I wanted to hit this one more time, just for a few minutes.
00:00:33.117 --> 00:00:37.917
So that way, in this run of episodes, at least you're really understanding what
00:00:37.917 --> 00:00:41.957
I mean about not wasting your time on bad people, right? Because bad people build rubbish.
00:00:42.557 --> 00:00:45.677
If a troll hits you from the side and you don't see it coming,
00:00:46.637 --> 00:00:47.617
drown them with kindness.
00:00:47.917 --> 00:00:51.817
Just drown them with kindness until they go away. I promise you,
00:00:51.977 --> 00:00:54.697
if you try to help them, they're going to leave.
00:00:55.077 --> 00:00:58.417
And they're going to stop bothering you. So you could say something like,
00:00:59.037 --> 00:01:01.917
hey, I appreciate the passion. Hope your day's turning around, buddy.
00:01:03.883 --> 00:01:08.883
That kind of puts it on them, right? Either they're going to soften up and they're
00:01:08.883 --> 00:01:11.303
going to chill and they're going to be cool and they're going to be maybe even
00:01:11.303 --> 00:01:14.383
a productive member of your socials and your community.
00:01:14.943 --> 00:01:19.923
Or they're going to double down and look like total jerk offs and foolish and they'll vanish.
00:01:21.943 --> 00:01:24.783
So you really win. It's really three ways, right? They're either going to get
00:01:24.783 --> 00:01:27.803
softer and they're going to chill. They'll double down and look like an idiot
00:01:27.803 --> 00:01:29.563
or they'll disappear on their own.
00:01:31.103 --> 00:01:33.863
So that's three wins in a row. take them
00:01:33.863 --> 00:01:36.703
it gets these people out of your world it
00:01:36.703 --> 00:01:40.563
gets these people where they understand that they're just not welcome because
00:01:40.563 --> 00:01:43.443
cruelty is always going to starve without a fight
00:01:43.443 --> 00:01:47.743
and people are so cruel to each other on the internet and in social medias and
00:01:47.743 --> 00:01:53.203
in the world these days it it takes somebody a little stronger it takes somebody
00:01:53.203 --> 00:01:58.503
with a little more wherewithal and it just takes somebody with a lot more kindness
00:01:58.503 --> 00:02:02.563
in their heart for the people that aren't feeling that,
00:02:03.343 --> 00:02:06.423
And the reason they don't feel it, we could talk about that for years,
00:02:06.423 --> 00:02:11.003
about why they're being trolls and why they're so sucky and why they're trying
00:02:11.003 --> 00:02:13.623
to crap in other people's yards and all that good stuff.
00:02:13.803 --> 00:02:17.243
But at the end of the day, and this is going to be the riff of the day too,
00:02:18.103 --> 00:02:22.143
grace is the ultimate power move.
00:02:24.543 --> 00:02:31.223
Think about that for a minute. Your next win or your next quick win is just
00:02:31.223 --> 00:02:33.263
the next time somebody throws a jab your way,
00:02:34.123 --> 00:02:39.083
just roll them over, just steamroll that sucker with kindness and just watch
00:02:39.083 --> 00:02:41.563
it disarm them every single time.
00:02:41.943 --> 00:02:47.843
It becomes too powerful. You're gonna swarm them with kindness in a way where
00:02:47.843 --> 00:02:51.763
they're gonna realize that either they're a jerk, they're a bot,
00:02:52.483 --> 00:02:54.583
And if they're a bot, they'll probably bounce.
00:02:54.803 --> 00:02:59.823
Or there's somebody who has the potential to change and actually become somebody
00:02:59.823 --> 00:03:04.323
that down the road might provide value and content in your world.
00:03:05.023 --> 00:03:09.123
So keep your vibes high. People can't touch great vibes.
00:03:09.303 --> 00:03:13.503
You know, the Knicks talk about this all the time, immaculate vibes, right?
00:03:13.563 --> 00:03:19.863
That's what the boys say on the Roommates podcast that they have with Jalen and Josh and crew.
00:03:21.043 --> 00:03:25.083
Immaculate vibes. If you're providing immaculate vibes every day,
00:03:25.323 --> 00:03:29.503
well, then the haters, the trolls, the miserable people, they've got absolutely
00:03:29.503 --> 00:03:32.343
nowhere to go, and they've got absolutely nothing they can do to you.
00:03:32.863 --> 00:03:36.843
So with that, I'm Steve Lichtman, and this has been Unfiltred and Unshakeable.
00:03:37.183 --> 00:03:41.763
And stay unshakable. Don't let these trolls ever get the best of you,
00:03:41.943 --> 00:03:45.323
because you're better than that, your content's better than that,
00:03:45.463 --> 00:03:48.923
and you as a person are better than that. Take it easy.
