Y’all when she said they be at the women empowerment trip/ retreat …I hollered 😭 Yes someone mentioned hit the 👍🏾 button !!! Please we need Amanda to make this an ongoing series!
I think Amanda is labeled as mean cause she’s a smart a logical thinker and not easily persuaded into being taken advantage of. When someone has ill intentions it’s easier to label a coherent intellectual as combative, rude and mean. When that description is Farrrrrrr from actuality. Love this !
Do y’all realize that if this was the 60’s or 70’s Amanda would be in the history books. This woman would be a threat to the gov but a leader for us. Nowadays we are too distracted to see the value of others around us. We love you Amanda. We see you ❤
I love how professional you were in stating what happened without saying names. Those of us who have watched your entire journey can make our conjectures 😂 Appreciate how you illustrated how this archetype has evolved into womanhood and psychology breakdown. Brilliant ♋️!!!
I felt when Amanda said "I just dont like nobody." *Tears* Ppl tend to call ppl like Amanda mean cause they perceive her truth, as a threat/disruption to their comfort matrix. Not sure if the removal from the group chat was necessarily described as a clear example of mean tho, for these reasons: (1) Ghosting happens (2) Communication is at minimum a two-way street (3) We make time for the important things.
I know your experience is with women being mean girls, but as a man. Men be “mean girls” too, especially gay men 😅. I feel like there’s a more specific term for “mean girls” that applies to all these manipulative MF’s. As I get older though, them be the people I ignore/threaten 😂😂 because they are the most busy body ass people I’ve ever encountered in my life 😤
Preach Amanda!!! These are literally the conversations that I’m having with my daughter right now. She’s only 8 but she is so full of love and light. She doesn’t understand why some people are mean and why some people will go out of their way to ostracize her. So trying my best to help her navigate her feelings around this. So thank you for this episode!
I have watched and listened to this episode and whew. I was literally in tears because I have experienced this from “Christian” women in a “Christian” setting for years. I can be a little weird and awkward as well. This episode was the truth! The way the followers follow the mean girl(woman) is unbelievable. In my case this woman recruits women who have low self esteem and no self respect. Thank you Amanda this one I saved, bookmarked and I will definitely be listening again. 💯
This group chat situation has me FLOORED! Why didn't they just create a new group chat? Why didn't they just put the trip invite in the group chat (knowing Amanda wouldn't see it)? Nah, that was super catty for no reason.
Very, very enlightening. I'm in such a peaceful place these days without any friends (male or female). I just wish I was this aware in my teens and twenties as I was naively and desperately befriending others.Thanks for always dropping gems within your podcast, Amanda💚
I feel like you are speaking to meeeee! Definitely experienced, and still sorting through the residual affects of mean girl trauma. I had to remove myself because it had gotten so, so negative. I finally realized that just because you’ve been friends with people for “x” amount of years does not mean you need to continue to be loyal to them when they’re consistently behaving poorly. In my case I had to leave the whole circle which was scary, but I am so much more at peace now that I’m not a part of that toxicity. Honestly I can’t believe how long I put up with that bs.
Loved everything about this episode. Truth from beginning to end. Forget about the mean girls/people and form your group of friends while not being mean. Hurt people hurt people, but there are also those who have been hurt and never want to be the reason for that pain to others. Choose which one you want to be, but remember you have to live with your choice and the former has karma coming your way one day all over it. Thank you, Amanda. Take care 👏🏽
This is such an amazing conversation. Girl the way I just screamed a vote (I was in my souljaboy voice) Meangirls are the original gaslighter. That sisterhood stuff be fake.
Thanks so much for this Amanda! ❤️ As a codependent creative person who has dealt/dealing with mean girl situations, this really spoke to my soul and made me feel seen.
To the women who have trauma from mean girls, please don’t give up on friendships with other women. It’s hard but I promise you there are still women who are girl’s girls who can give you genuine connection. ❤
I appreciate this episode so much. I often say I have no friends but the reality is, in burnt out on trying to become friends and then being disappointed when I find out they're on some fuck shit. Like, I wasted all that time to be disappointed. Becoming friends as an adult feels impossible.
I absolutely adore you Amanda so I want to hold you accountable for something you mentioned about the group chat. You didnt communicate to the group when/why you initially left the chat but you expected communication for being removed. Respect goes both ways.
This really hit home. Thanks so much for your openness and providing real life solutions for effectively managing these incidents. Truly appreciate your fun delivery, aesthetic, and engagement ❤
I'm convinced. I desperately need to take a class under Amanda Seales. Amanda Seales is extremely talented,full of wisdom and an awesome personality. If only my college professors were like-mindedAmanda has become my best friend in my head.I often find myself asking.What would Amand do? I simply adore and admire this strong ,intellectual,charismatic woman.
Amanda. This is a wonderful postcard topic. So many people Can relate to dealing with mean girls. I really enjoyed listening to this while I was driving to work. U are wonderful and I wish all positive things to come Your way.
Love you, Amanda. This came at a perfect time. There'll be mean girls and boys anywhere we go. Knowing that their meanness comes from THEIR insecurity and discomfort with seeing our security and confidence brings me much better understanding to the layer beneath their meanness. And there's NOTHING we can do about it but to disengage coz they be waiting for an opportunity to get you. And we too smart for that
Someone told me this and I adapted into my narrative when feeling some kinda way: "Is it a me thing, or is it a thing thing?" Reflective reflex to keep me grounded and perspective 🌈💛✨
I'm a gay guy and there are mean gay "girls" too, like literally the same dynamic. I was involved in a "friend group " over the summer and omg my self esteem had never been lower. They (this specific group of gay guys) were so childish and mean. I remember one of them made fun of me for using the "🥳" emoji and it actually hurt my feelings!! Now that I'm not involved with them and have healed, I can't believe I let that hurt my feelings! Mean girls exist in the gay community and woof they are mean sometimes. Not trying to generalize but yeah,this specific group I was involved with over the summer was awful. Edit: anyone know if Amanda has an episode on being a "codependent"? I am 100% the codependent and attract narcissists like a magnet
I, fortunately, am blessed with GREAT friends/sisters, but the Mean Girl thing is REAL. It’s healthy for all of us to check ourselves and our sisters to make sure we’re not contributing to the Mean Girl behavior/attitudes.
I love everything about this episode so relatable ❤️❤️❤️❤️🖤🖤🖤. I've had situations like Amanda's when my group of friends were planning a trip right there in my presence. They didn't include me in the conversion all the while I was seating there. Eventually they left for the trip but never even asked me to come along. This happened in the University. I felt bad but really started to keep my distance after that.
Thank you for this important reminder! Sadly, the mean girl mentality continues even in adulthood. Yes to choosing sisterhood over the "mean girl" mentality
I love your energy Amanda. Listening to you makes me feel less crazy for calling it like I see it, with almost everybody. Your a good friend in my head ❤
I wrote a solo play that I've adapted into a TV pilot that deals with this subject. I carried that pain around for years and finally forgave them in my late twenties but they won't ever be my Facebook friends.
Amandaaaaaaa!!!! You were PREACHING in this one, as u always do tho!! 👏🏾👏🏾 Unfortunately, I have and am currently still experiencing this with my younger sister... 😫 .. She is currently blocked (on phone and socials) and the catalyst was her wedding last year.... I say all that to say, you have just confirmed for me (again) that I am NOT CRAZY! These people be peopling! And these mean girls really be needing "followers" and this shit just sucks bcuz some of her followers just so happen to be my other siblings, cousins, and aunts!! My feelings were hurt last year, but I have analyzed and accepted the new way these relationships just have to look in the future... I have only had ONE best friend my whole life. And we grew apart a LOOOOOOOONNNGGG time ago, but I finally removed myself completely like 5 yrs ago now. People don't understand how "dangerous" a person who can truly stand alone can be!! Bcuz NOTHING they do intimidate, effect, or have ANY room in my brain and that FUCKS with them so much!! 🤭🤭🤭 (Other family members who I do talk to and trust confirm this for me on a REGULAR!!) Thank you as always for sharing your thoughts!!! I really appreciate you!! ❤ Sending Love,Wellness, Light, and Positive energy to you and your Love! 🤗🥰🙌🏾
Amanda - I promise in 10 years (most likely 5) you won’t even care. The switch that flips in your 40s is magical✨ Seamless even & it’s all with LOVE❤ #effthemhoes #poofbegone
Peace & balance ❤ I appreciate this topic... simular experiences. Growing up & now as a grown Black caramel skinned Woman still explaing to folks im not Biracial. Excluded as a child as a result solitude & independence became my strength.
Amanda! Thank you for shouting out and bringing awareness to this... I was the "weird" friend in the group when I was younger, (And my Friends Loved being AROUND me) smart, funny & pro black 11yrs. Now 38..... I'm still weird and myself. Own my home and working on repairs for the home. Covid I'm financially still RECOVERING... Well I'm sitting in my home watching handmaid tales😅 and I hear my neighbor say talking LOUD so i can hear ( lol NEVER to me ALWAYS talking AROUND me) to the neighbors right next to my door saying "oh is that bird poo on the step ( apart of repairs needed which I'm working on but that's NONEYA! Business) "Oh, that's Her house IDK. She is weird as shit. "They Kiki for a second, and the woman said again that lives a few doors down. Like u said Amanda, they can't Stand On They Own They Must Get A Team or Mob to back them... But I'm ready for whatever! These Niggas Can't even just SWEEP in front of they steps but u want to come at the women who is ( beautiful pretty privileged) ALWAYS minded my business and not knocking on my neighbors door like " Yeah I don't like her too, u got some sugar" Can we just be kind and Mind Our Business possible change the culture. And Sweep ur OWN freaking Step!! LIKE DO UR PART TO HELP NOT HARM🙌🏾💫💫
Those mean girl experiences are exactly why I refuse to have female friends. My closest friends are non-misogynist men who I can always count on, trust and they’ve always kept it 💯with me. I’m the type that will end up in prison if I deal with a mean girl. I’ll light up the spot real quick.💥 In 40 years, 44 on this Earth and I have never dealt with problems from my male friends like I’ve dealt with around females.
Omg I’m dealing with this right now at the office. I keep to myself and sometimes I chop it up with those I vibe with naturally. But there is this one almost 40 year old women who thinks I’m acting bitchy because I choose to not chop it up with her. I’m cordial and kind. That should be enough but for whatever reason she is dedicated to try to connect with me and it will NEVER happen. She’s nasty and a mean girl herself & that is the reason she isn’t my cup of tea. You do you and I do me. What’s so wrong about that?😩 Ass kissing isn’t going to get her far. It’s just going to get her more and more ignored. Lol
24:02 YES!!! I Dealt With The "Mean Girl" Too. The Ringleader Always Gotta Problem With Something I Said Or Did & The Minions Followed Behind Them. When The Mean Girl Decides That She's On Good Terms With You, Then The Minions Are On Good Terms With You Too. Monkey See, Monkey Do Bullshit. Thank You Amanda! LOL!!!
Yuck. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt (cause Covid and all that was hard) until you said they took a vote. A VOTE?!? Without anyone even having a conversation with you-- gossipy and weird :/. And what's most gossipy and weird is that she TOLD you they took a vote. Lame. Next. Bye.
I know a circle of mean girls that will trip over themselves to greet my husband and will just stare at me like am transparent. Same circle have children that follow their lead and never greet me so they make it a point to come to me to confirm whether there children have greeted me. I always say Yes because I know they yell at their childre if they have indeed "greeting" me. Their insecure marriage life is so painful and pathetic. We all see they are painting a pretty picture but the others talk about how this picture is hanging by the tiniest of threads😊.
Hey Amanda thank you for sharing your experiences. I truly believe this will help many. I’m listening to your story about the group chat. And to be fair I think where you went wrong initially was when you left the chat group first. That may have sent a negative message to them. There’s a way you can silence a group chat without them even knowing. I do it all the time with my family. 😂 But maybe by you living initially that concluded that you weren’t interested. Just offering a different perspective from what I’m hearing. Still love you!! ❤
Nope. I left. I explained why. That is was personal to my own situation and that's it. Y'all keep doing a bunch of mental gymnastics to excuse the basic decency of communicating to a supposed friend that they are being removed from a space.
@@TheAmandaSeales I’m on your team sis. I’m not trying to defend their behavior. But when I was listening to your story. I know you told us why you left the group. But I don’t remember hearing you say that you informed them as to why you left. That’s all I was saying. We love and support you. 🖤
I so relate to your stories, especially when being the awkward, nerdy black girl. Only note I will make is that when dealing with mean girls having a strong sense of self-worth is important, which is hard when coming from a trauma background, which is why some are more susceptible to the mean girl mystique. They have a way of feeding self esteem at the cost of starving self worth. So a lot of grace if you are on the receiving end of that deeming of the light. So remembering that there are certain things, or value, that comes with existing. And the people that are for you, feed that. Much Love, Peace, and Blessings to you. Continue to spread knowledge and joy my sister.
Y’all when she said they be at the women empowerment trip/ retreat …I hollered 😭
Yes someone mentioned hit the 👍🏾 button !!!
Please we need Amanda to make this an ongoing series!
The sad part is how many of us identified in that moment
I think Amanda is labeled as mean cause she’s a smart a logical thinker and not easily persuaded into being taken advantage of. When someone has ill intentions it’s easier to label a coherent intellectual as combative, rude and mean. When that description is Farrrrrrr from actuality. Love this !
She also doesn’t fake the funk
“The power of choice.” That resonated so loudly with me!
Do y’all realize that if this was the 60’s or 70’s Amanda would be in the history books. This woman would be a threat to the gov but a leader for us. Nowadays we are too distracted to see the value of others around us. We love you Amanda. We see you ❤
I was thinking this recently!
We need this. This conversation was everything. I've often felt the odd one out. Thank God I'm old and mature enough to value what it taught me.
I love how professional you were in stating what happened without saying names. Those of us who have watched your entire journey can make our conjectures 😂 Appreciate how you illustrated how this archetype has evolved into womanhood and psychology breakdown. Brilliant ♋️!!!

Yup, you’re correct. My Mean Girls by blood are: My mother; my son 😢and his wife.
Exactly, I think it's my age, depending on how I feel, I'll ignore or give it the way they give it, but never try to get along with them.
Amanda is so intellectual and supportive of her people.❤
You are absolutely correct. Amanda is the best!!❤I bet she's a dope friend and confidant!!
Already know😌
Preach Amanda!!! These are literally the conversations that I’m having with my daughter right now. She’s only 8 but she is so full of love and light.

Omg the mean girl/bad boy analogy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
#CancerEnergy "Not a mean girl... I just don't like nobody." 🤣
😂😂😂
I completely understand that statement
I’m so proud of the work Amanda’s doing. This video is helping me so much.
This is such an amazing conversation. Girl the way I just screamed a vote (I was in my souljaboy voice) Meangirls are the original gaslighter.
That sisterhood stuff be fake.

To the women who have trauma from mean girls, please don’t give up on friendships with other women. It’s hard but I promise you there are still women who are girl’s girls who can give you genuine connection. ❤
I get wat ur saying, but being alone and being lonely are two different things! I luv my peace!😇❤

So glad you enjoyed it! What's a "post card" topic? I've never heard that phrase
@@TheAmandaSeales hahah. I meant to say a podcast topic. I was in a hurry when I wrote it.

Im 41 and every woman in that chat was 40 and 50+.
The back in the chat jingle was hilarious.
Love what you do!
I just saw an interview with Sunny Hostin on Sherri Shepherd show. I feel that was the group chat she was talking about. 😅
Peace & balance ❤ I appreciate this topic... simular experiences. Growing up & now as a grown Black caramel skinned Woman still explaing to folks im not Biracial. Excluded as a child as a result solitude & independence became my strength.
Good Topic. Good Episode. My "mean girls" have been work-place bullies.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🗣️ I resonate with this so much! Thank you! 💕
Thank you for side effects of mean girls.. it is a much needed conversation.

Good video - insightful. I have a guess as to the particular trip in question. 🙃
MZ. Seales your fans in Omaha Nebraska would love Smart, Funny, and Black to announce that the show may come to town. Love everything you do Sis. ❤
Where was this when I was in high school. 😭 It’s been and continues to be hard to find genuine girlfriends especially in adulthood.

. Just flipped it. Ribbit Ribbit ❤️😍
Excellent video...Sent this to my 16 year old daughter... She'll find it helpful
Sometimes I think the mean girl is the side kick to the popular girl…. They always play second so they learn to become the mean girl
Those mean girl experiences are exactly why I refuse to have female friends. My closest friends are non-misogynist men who I can always count on, trust and they’ve always kept it 💯with me.
I’m the type that will end up in prison if I deal with a mean girl. I’ll light up the spot real quick.💥 In 40 years, 44 on this Earth and I have never dealt with problems from my male friends like I’ve dealt with around females.
You were the ONLY reason I watched. After that I was done. You a whole Vibe!!! Do you gurl....
I really want this outfit she has on 👀Does anyone know where it can be purchased?
Omg I’m dealing with this right now at the office. I keep to myself and sometimes I chop it up with those I vibe with naturally. But there is this one almost 40 year old women who thinks I’m acting bitchy because I choose to not chop it up with her. I’m cordial and kind. That should be enough but for whatever reason she is dedicated to try to connect with me and it will NEVER happen. She’s nasty and a mean girl herself & that is the reason she isn’t my cup of tea. You do you and I do me. What’s so wrong about that?😩
Ass kissing isn’t going to get her far. It’s just going to get her more and more ignored. Lol
Great job
I'm ready
24:02 YES!!! I Dealt With The "Mean Girl" Too. The Ringleader Always Gotta Problem With Something I Said Or Did & The Minions Followed Behind Them. When The Mean Girl Decides That She's On Good Terms With You, Then The Minions Are On Good Terms With You Too. Monkey See, Monkey Do Bullshit. Thank You Amanda! LOL!!!
LOVED THIS EPISODE!
Yuck. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt (cause Covid and all that was hard) until you said they took a vote. A VOTE?!? Without anyone even having a conversation with you-- gossipy and weird :/. And what's most gossipy and weird is that she TOLD you they took a vote. Lame. Next. Bye.
I know a circle of mean girls that will trip over themselves to greet my husband and will just stare at me like am transparent.

I always say Yes because I know they yell at their childre if they have indeed "greeting" me. Their insecure marriage life is so painful and pathetic. We all see they are painting a pretty picture but the others talk about how this picture is hanging by the tiniest of threads😊.
This was an interesting topic that I hadn’t considered.
I know huh?😎
Theres even Mean Boys! When can high school.be left behind. Its a drag to drag it along with us.
Hey Amanda thank you for sharing your experiences. I truly believe this will help many. I’m listening to your story about the group chat. And to be fair I think where you went wrong initially was when you left the chat group first. That may have sent a negative message to them. There’s a way you can silence a group chat without them even knowing. I do it all the time with my family. 😂 But maybe by you living initially that concluded that you weren’t interested. Just offering a different perspective from what I’m hearing. Still love you!! ❤
Nope. I left. I explained why. That is was personal to my own situation and that's it. Y'all keep doing a bunch of mental gymnastics to excuse the basic decency of communicating to a supposed friend that they are being removed from a space.
@@TheAmandaSeales I’m on your team sis. I’m not trying to defend their behavior. But when I was listening to your story. I know you told us why you left the group. But I don’t remember hearing you say that you informed them as to why you left. That’s all I was saying. We love and support you. 🖤
Mean Girls “throw rocks and hide their hands”

Preach sis, preach
I survived the mean girls, I survived. And I have always been smart and beautiful 😉🥰⭐️🙏🏾
I so relate to your stories, especially when being the awkward, nerdy black girl. Only note I will make is that when dealing with mean girls having a strong sense of self-worth is important, which is hard when coming from a trauma background, which is why some are more susceptible to the mean girl mystique. They have a way of feeding self esteem at the cost of starving self worth. So a lot of grace if you are on the receiving end of that deeming of the light. So remembering that there are certain things, or value, that comes with existing. And the people that are for you, feed that.
Much Love, Peace, and Blessings to you. Continue to spread knowledge and joy my sister.
