Epictetus taught that relationship pain stems from the gap between who someone is and who you wish they were; the solution is to accept reality rather than trying to change others, as you can only control your own expectations, not other people's behavior.

💀 Most Relationship Pain Comes From This - The Stoic Fix 🔥 Epictetus Had One Rule For RelationshipsAdded:
Epictetus had one rule for relationships. Never expect people to be who you want them to be. Expect them to be exactly who they are. Most relationship pain comes from the gap between who someone is and who you wish they were. Close the gap. Not by changing them, but by accepting reality.
The Stoics didn't love less. They loved clearer.
