hey everyone and welcome to top think
today we'll learn about 14 signs of a
weak-minded person
now let's begin
have you ever met someone who was
mentally or emotionally weak the term
weak-minded usually describes people
that are lacking in sound judgment or
common sense
however this term means something
slightly different in the context of
self-improvement
a weak-minded person typically has
what's known as a weak mindset
for example they have trouble motivating
themselves to accomplish specific goals
they don't take responsibility for their
mistakes and they frequently allow
others to control them
these traits can be destructive on their
own you might see weak-minded people
stagnating in the workplace clinging to
toxic friendships or missing out on
romantic opportunities
now despite these failures weak-minded
people never seem to address their
issues or improve their situation
at the core of any weak mentality is a
fundamental lack of awareness or
understanding of what you're doing wrong
in other words weak-minded people run
into conflicts socially professionally
and romantically because they refuse to
take ownership of their weaknesses and
their shortcomings
they consistently find reasons to blame
other people or skirt around the issue
and as a result nothing changes and
these weak-minded people fall deeper
into a destructive cycle
under the surface weak-minded people are
often self-critical and insecure
but when you meet them in real life
they'll pretend otherwise they'll try to
disguise their weaknesses and to
convince you they're stronger than they
really are
and for this reason weak-minded people
rely heavily on the validation of others
to justify their choices
they're constantly trying to prove
themselves to you because they can't
prove anything to themselves
if for example if a weak-minded person
is yelled at by a superior he may insult
or gossip about his boss behind her back
instead of improving his work
that way others will take his side and
validate his shortcomings
hey if you're watching this video
someone in your life may have a weak
mindset
you may be worried about your friend
your partner or even yourself
even if you or someone you know is
weak-minded there will always be room to
grow and to change
becoming aware of your shortcomings is
the first step toward a stronger
mentality so let's dive into 14 signs
that you or someone you know is a
weak-minded person
number one the quitter's mindsets
when something becomes more difficult
than you expected what do you do
strong-minded people buckle down and
they work hard to overcome life's many
hurdles finding a sense of
accomplishment by surpassing their
expectations
on the other hand weak-minded people
quit as soon as things get tough they
have trouble achieving their goals
because they don't stick with anything
long enough to see it through
they find a reason to walk away as soon
as the going gets tough why well because
they don't have enough willpower or the
self-discipline to work hard when it
counts
if you notice a pattern of quitting in
yours or somebody else's life challenge
them or yourself to finish what you
started
often weak-minded people don't have
faith in themselves but one real
accomplishment can give you the
confidence that you need
number two missing your purpose
do you have trouble sticking to a
concrete goal many weak-minded people
struggle to motivate or discipline
themselves enough to achieve anything
significance
you may have loose unstructured goals
that you tell other people but the truth
is that you've made little progress
toward actually achieving them or maybe
you don't have any goals at all
when you think about what you want out
of life nothing seems to come to mind
you may think you're just not driven but
the truth is you have a weaker mentality
than you think
number three failure to deliver
if you know a weak-minded person you may
have had an experience like this before
you hear them talking about how
passionate and accomplished they are how
much they love their job and they find
meaning in their work yet they never
actually do anything
when a task Falls in front of them they
create excuses and avoid doing the work
they supposedly love
so what gives
weak-minded people have a bad habit of
saying one thing and doing another if
someone in your life talks a big game
but they don't deliver they may be a
weaker person than you realize
number four destructive criticism
you can immediately tell how strong
someone is by how they react to
criticism or feedback
strong-minded people welcome
constructive feedback and consider other
people's opinions they can separate
their emotions from their personal or
professional growth allowing them to
learn and improve
weak-minded people on the other hand
have trouble separating their actions
from their emotions
when they hear criticism or feedback
they react defensively and they lash out
as if the other person is attacking
their character
number five apologetic manipulation
apologies are one of many ways that
weak-minded people seek validation from
others
even if they didn't do anything wrong
they apologize not because they feel
remorse but because they want others to
feel sorry for them a weak-minded person
wants you to say they didn't do anything
wrong and that everything will be okay
they're using you as a source of
approval and validation so they can feel
better about themselves
number six the obsession problem
weak-minded people have a bad habit of
obsessing over their problems fears and
insecurities Now by itself obsession is
not inherently problematic however for
someone with a weak mentality obsessive
thoughts may lead them to imagine
impossible scenarios
it takes a strong person to make sense
of their obsessive thoughts to draw a
line between what's possible and what's
not
if you're weak-minded you may be unable
to tell the difference
number seven extreme emotional outbursts
weak-minded people have a hard time
moderating their emotions they're often
overwhelmed by feelings that they can't
explain and make thoughtless highly
emotional decisions when they get angry
for example they may lose their tempers
leading to emotional outbursts that can
do more harm than good look no matter
who you are your emotions are valid and
importance even the extreme ones
all your emotions help you understand
yourself and what you want out of life
but if you allow those emotions to Cloud
your judgment you may make decisions
you'll regret down the road
number eight running from reality
disappointment can be hard to swallow
but even at their lowest moments
strong-minded people find ways to
improve
weak-minded people on the other hand run
from their reality
they cut ties they forego the
responsibilities and they penalize
others for their failures anything to
avoid the truth
this mindset is unhelpful and in many
cases toxic to yourself and others
it's not easy to face your failures but
it's because of those failures that you
can grow stronger
number nine the shortcut mentality
strong-minded people aren't afraid to
take The Road Less Traveled when they
set a goal they intend to accomplish it
not in the shortest amount of time but
to the best of their ability now
sometimes that means long hours and
laborious work other times it means
returning to the drawing board and
starting over in shorts people with
strong mentalities aren't interested in
the easy road but weak-minded people
aren't nearly as disciplined if there's
ever an opportunity to take a shortcut a
weak-minded person will take it they
might say something like I'm just being
efficient or this is the smart way to
work but the truth is they're too lazy
to go the extra mile
you may see evidence of this mentality
in their work their relationships and
their daily habits they consistently
take the easy road because this person
has a weak mentality
number 10 terrifying transformations
change is hard and weak-minded people
often try to avoid it
changes in your lifestyle or career
force you to confront new challenges and
adapt to new situations these things are
scary no matter who you are it requires
discipline and mental strength to
approach new changes with confidence
not only are you setting your old ways
aside but you're taking the risk of
failing at something new and that's a
risk that many weak-minded people are
unwilling to take
number 11 holding on to negativity
do you hold grudges against people who
hurt or offend you this is a Tell-Tale
sign of a weak mindset you stew on the
smallest offenses and expect others to
beg for your forgiveness
but all you're doing is storing
unnecessary negativity you may think
you're punishing the people in your life
by holding grudges but the only person
you're hurting is yourself
number 12 decision paralysis
do you have a hard time making decisions
weak-minded people go back and forth
over the smallest things because they're
too Paralyzed by indecision to make up
their minds
so what do they do they find ways to
avoid making any of their own decisions
instead they turn to authority figures
to decide for them and that way they
have someone else to blame if things go
wrong
number 13 the self-pity cycle
sometimes life doesn't go your way and
it's okay to feel bad when something bad
happens to you but there's a difference
between grieving and giving up many
weak-minded people use their bad
experiences as an excuse to give up they
stop trying to better their lives so
their situation never improves
they consistently frame themselves as
victims but this toxic cycle of
self-pity isn't helping anyone
number 14. shirking the blame
weak-minded people have an excuse for
everything especially their bad habits
they're quick to blame things like their
job or relationship for the failure in
their life
if they don't meet their goals they say
it's because their partner is weighing
them down if they don't show up on time
they blame other drivers on the road
even if they were the ones who lost
track of time
so why are excuses so common among
weak-minded people because they allow us
to avoid responsibility for our mistakes
excuses are one way we pass the blame
but accepting that blame or at least
abortion will make you a stronger
individual
