How Someone’s Dominating Nature Slowly Kills You Within

What happens when someone dominates you

Ever come across this word— dominance?

I am sure at least once.

Did someone tell you, “you won’t be able to do it” or “you are not capable of it”?

Pretty harsh, right?

Yes, it is.

Only those who have been told this repeatedly can understand.

Tell me what your brain thinks when people say this to you?

Do you get angry? Or do you get scared?

Well, it depends on the intensity these statements carry.

If someone funnily tells you, this could be just another statement.

We can ignore it, simply ignore it.

But, if someone tells you in a very serious way, this is where things start to heat up.

Your brain starts to fight back by sending counter statements, but since too many things run through your mind, you may not be able to speak what you are supposed to speak.

Now your brain is in alert mode, mirroring how you as a person are, in your mind.

If you doubt yourself, those words become a reason to fear.

But… if you believe in yourself, you know who you are, those words become a reason for determination.

Those words become a reason to work harder, come out of the box, and achieve something extraordinary.

Now, when you start working on yourself, this is where the real dominance starts — not over others, but over yourself.

Most people misunderstand dominance. They think it means controlling people, proving others wrong, or showing superiority.

In reality,

True dominance is how you remain unaffected when someone tries to challenge or define your limits

The moment someone says, “You can’t do it”, they are presenting you with two choices.

a) Accept their opinion — because you’re weak and broke.

b) Accept their challenge , build your reality quietly to prove them wrong — because you know who you are.

Unfortunately, I would say 95% of people think that dominance means option a), or perhaps they unknowingly choose option a).

They keep thinking in their minds:

“What if they are right?”

“Am I not good enough?”

“May be I should stop trying and wasting my time”

And so on…

But you’ll find another kind of person, who feels the same pain the same way as everybody does, but decides to move forward.

He takes baby steps.

Small steps at a time, and patience — These two are his “mantra”.

Why so?

Because they refuse to allow someone random person to comment on their life without their permission.

I don’t give permission to decide what you’ll say. I’ll become what I want to.

I’ll do whatever I want to… (but in good ways).

Some will doubt you because they don’t understand your vision.

Some will doubt you because they failed at something similar.

And some will doubt you simply because seeing you succeed makes them uncomfortable.

You cannot control any of that.

What you can control is your response.

Your period of success starts when everybody doubts you.

So the next time someone tells you that you are not capable, don’t rush to argue.

Don’t waste your energy trying to convince them.

Let your work speak.

Let your consistency speak.

Let your results speak.

Because the strongest response to doubt has never been words.

It has always been proof.
