Why are you overlooked, underappreciated, and constantly taken for granted — even when you’re kind, helpful, and consistent? In this powerful Stoic breakdown, we uncover why being the “good guy” often leads to being ignored. You’ll learn why always saying yes weakens your presence, how silent resentment builds from unchecked self-sacrifice, and most importantly, how to stop needing approval and start building true self-respect.
This video is not about becoming cold. It’s about becoming clear. It’s about training your mind to stand firm, speak less but with impact, and protect your peace without apology. If you’ve ever felt invisible while doing everything right, this message is for you.
