Stoic Guide to Navigating Troubled and Toxic Relationships
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Difficult people are one of the most reliable sources of suffering we have, and the Stoics knew it. Marcus filled his private notes with reminders to stay tolerant and kind with the people who tested him.
His famous line about waking up expecting to meet the meddling and ungrateful, and choosing patience anyway, runs through this whole episode. I share how I try to apply that in my own troubled relationships, without pretending it is easy.
