[MelaninWarlord]

The YouTube video you linked, titled "Being alone won't hurt you people are fake these days" by the channel BenedictineTheTruth, discusses the difficulty of having a kind heart in a world of fake and manipulative people, and the importance of being willing to be alone rather than accepting disrespect.

Key Topics and Advice
The video's creator shares personal anecdotes, particularly about their late father, to illustrate the points:

Spotting Fake People
People with kind hearts often have trouble spotting fake people because they assume everyone is like them [02:11].
It is much easier to spot fake friends in someone else's life than in your own [03:23].

The speaker's father, who was always kind and willing to help, had many people who didn't attend his funeral or offer help when he was sick or after he died [06:38], proving their fakeness.

The Problem with Being Too Nice
The speaker argues that people don't respect you just because you are nice; they respect you because of the power you have [10:12].

Being too attached and unwilling to walk away will make people think you are stupid and allow them to take advantage of you [17:43].
How to Deal with Fake People
You must be able to spot people who are only there when it benefits them and cut them off [12:12], even if they are family [19:45].

Friends who gossip about others are definitely gossiping about you [13:19].
Do not allow people to disrespect you and get away with it, as you are teaching them how to treat you [19:34], [27:51].
Your truest power is in your ability to walk away and detach yourself from people. When you're willing to walk away, people will treat you better [46:23].

The Value of Being Alone
The speaker encourages listeners not to be afraid to be a "lone wolf" [25:14].
It is better to walk alone than to be with fake people who will betray you when you need them most [25:29].

Teaching yourself to be alone is one of the best things you can do, as you will get used to it, and people who come into your life will treat you better because they need you, and you don't need them [52:46], [53:16].
