Sungai Rirum. Tempat sejarah suku-suku di sekitar Huon dan tempat asal usul buah merah di wilayah ini. Dalam bahasa Rirum buah merah disebut sirun danwam. Dalam budaya Yali bibit buah merah diberikan oleh roh bersama seorang gadis roh setelah seorang pria pergi ke dunia roh dan tumbuhan ditanam dan berbuah tetapi tidak menjadi merah. Sesuai janji seorang tua dari dunia roh merupakan ayah dari perempuan itu, sebuah tanaman itu berbuah jangan sentuh istrimu. Pria itu menaati perintah itu, hingga buah itu berbuah dan istrinya ambil menstruasinya dan buah itu berubah menjadi merah dan menghasilkan lemak merah (sak amuk). Dalam budaya suku-suku di Huon lemak merah keluar dari sebuah lubang batu, lubang batu itu berbentuk kelamin perempuan. Seorang pria pemilik lokasi itu menemukan dan menimpa lemak itu. Ini tersebar di seluruh Huon, Koroka, Hagen, dan Madang dan sekitarnya. Suatu hari seorang wanita lain mengambail lemah yang di simpan suaminya dan ditumpahkan maka mereka bertengkar. Semut merah (leng) makan lemak itu dan kejar hingga di lubang batu itu dan menghabisi semua lemak termasuk lubang dan tinding hingga masuk ke dalamnya.

If someone dislikes you without saying it, they’ll usually display these 10 subtle behaviors

There’s a stark contrast between someone openly expressing their dislike for you and those who keep it under wraps.
Silent disapproval can be harder to detect, but it’s not impossible.

You see, people who don’t like you, yet choose not to voice it out, often display certain subtle behaviors. These signs are not as obvious as direct confrontation, but with a keen eye, you can spot them.

In this article, I’m going to reveal these 10 subtle behaviors typically exhibited by those who may not be your biggest fans.

Let’s get started.

1) They avoid eye contact
It’s a universal human behavior – when we like someone, we often seek eye contact. It’s a non-verbal way of connecting and expressing interest.

But what happens when someone doesn’t like you? They’ll usually do the opposite.

The avoidance of eye contact can be a subtle sign that someone isn’t too fond of you. It’s as if they’re trying to disconnect, to create a barrier between you and them.

Of course, this isn’t a guaranteed sign of dislike – some people may avoid eye contact out of shyness or social anxiety. However, if someone consistently avoids meeting your eyes, especially in a one-on-one setting, it could indicate that they’re not your biggest fan.

2) They’re consistently short with you
We’ve all had those moments where we’re short with someone because we’re having a bad day or we’re in a rush.

But when it becomes a consistent behavior, it might be a sign of something more.

This reminds me of a co-worker I used to have. We’ll call him Gary. Whenever I’d ask Gary a question or try to engage him in conversation, his responses were always clipped and short. It was almost as if he was trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible.

At first, I thought he was just a busy guy. But then I noticed that he was much more expansive and friendly with other colleagues. That’s when it hit me – Gary’s curt behavior wasn’t because he was busy, it was because he didn’t like me.

3) Their body language is closed off
Body language is a powerful communicator, often revealing more about our feelings than our words do.

When someone is open to us, they tend to have an open posture. They face us directly, their arms are relaxed, and they may lean in slightly when we’re speaking.

On the flip side, if someone dislikes you, their body language may tell the tale. They might cross their arms or legs, turn their body away from you, or lean back when you’re talking.

Psychologists have found that up to 93% of communication effectiveness is determined by non-verbal cues, including body language. Paying attention to how someone positions themselves around you can provide valuable insight into their feelings towards you. If they’re consistently closed off in their posture, it might be that they’re not too keen on you.

4) They rarely initiate contact
It’s normal for friendships and relationships to have an ebb and flow when it comes to initiating contact. Sometimes you’ll reach out more, sometimes they will.

However, if you notice that you’re always the one initiating contact – be it a conversation, a text message, or a get-together – it might be a sign that the other person isn’t as invested in your relationship as you are.

Someone who likes you will show interest in your life and will want to engage with you. If they’re not doing this, their lack of initiation could be a subtle sign of their disinterest or dislike.

Relationships are a two-way street. If you feel like you’re driving alone on it, it might be time to reconsider the relationship.

5) They never seem to be available
Life can get busy, and we all have times when our schedules are packed. But, if someone constantly claims to be too busy to spend time with you, it might be a sign they’re not overly fond of your company.

If a person likes you, they’ll make an effort to include you in their life, regardless of how busy they are. But if they’re always too busy for you, or consistently cancelling plans at the last minute, it could be a subtle sign of their dislike.

Pay attention to the patterns. If someone’s calendar never seems to have room for you, it might not be their schedule that’s the problem – it could be their feelings towards you.
6) They never share personal information
When we like someone, we naturally want to open up to them. We share our dreams, our fears, our joys and our sorrows. It’s how we connect and build trust.

However, if someone consistently keeps things surface level and never delves into personal territory, it might be a sign that they’re not comfortable around you or don’t trust you enough to open up.

It can be hard to accept this, especially if you’ve shared your own personal stories and feelings. You might feel vulnerable and rejected. But remember, everyone has their reasons for their behavior, and it might have nothing to do with you personally.

Hold your head high, keep being open and genuine, and know that the right people will value and appreciate your honesty.

7) They rarely engage in small talk
Small talk might seem insignificant, but it actually plays a crucial role in human communication. It helps us establish common ground, build rapport and trust, and ease into deeper conversations.

In a previous job, I had a colleague who would always bypass small talk with me. While she would happily chat about the weather or weekend plans with others, our interactions were always strictly business. It felt like there was a wall between us that I just couldn’t break down.

Eventually, I realized that her lack of small talk wasn’t due to a lack of things to say, but rather a lack of interest in creating a closer connection with me.


If someone consistently skips the small talk with you while engaging in it with others, it could be a subtle sign that they don’t like you.

8) They’re overly polite
Politeness is generally seen as a positive trait, and it’s often appreciated in social interactions. However, when it’s excessive, it can actually be a sign of discomfort or dislike.

When someone truly likes you, they tend to relax around you. They’ll be comfortable joking with you, teasing you lightly, or occasionally showing their less-than-perfect side.

But if someone is always on their best behavior around you, never stepping out of the bounds of formal politeness, it might mean they’re keeping you at arm’s length. They might be trying to create a barrier of politeness to avoid getting closer to you.

While politeness is generally a good thing, too much of it can sometimes indicate the opposite of friendliness.

9) They don’t remember details about you
When someone likes you, they pay attention to you. They remember little details about your life – like your favorite book, the name of your pet, or the story you told about your last vacation. These details matter because they show that the person is genuinely interested in you.

However, if someone continually forgets things you’ve shared or doesn’t seem to retain details about your life, it could be a sign they’re not particularly fond of you.

It can be disheartening to realize that someone isn’t taking an interest in your life, especially if you’ve shown interest in theirs. But remember, it’s a reflection on them, not you. You are worth knowing and remembering

10) They often seem distracted around you
Our attention is one of the most precious gifts we can give to someone. When we genuinely like someone, we naturally want to give them our full attention.

However, if someone continually seems distracted when they’re with you – constantly checking their phone, looking around, or seeming preoccupied – it could be a sign they’re not enjoying your company.

Paying attention to someone is a form of respect and interest. If that’s missing, it could indicate a lack of liking. So always remember, you’re deserving of someone’s full attention. Don’t settle for less.

Final thoughts: It’s not about you
Navigating the subtleties of human behavior can be akin to deciphering a complex puzzle. But the key to understanding these subtle cues lies in empathy and self-awareness.

If you observe these signs in someone’s behavior towards you, it’s essential to remember that it often says more about them than it does about you. Their reactions could be influenced by their past experiences, insecurities, or personal issues.

Psychoanalyst Carl Jung once said, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” This perspective invites us to view these situations as opportunities for self-reflection and growth.

So, if you find yourself on the receiving end of these subtle signs of dislike, try not to take it personally. Instead, use it as a chance to learn, grow, and navigate your relationships with more wisdom and understanding. Remember, your worth is not defined by how others see you but by how you see yourself.

"Pria Hanya Memperbaiki Wanita yang Mereka Cintai” – Kebenaran yang Buruk

Dengarkan, kawan. Jika Anda membiarkan seorang wanita berputar ke dalam kekacauan tanpa melangkah masuk, Anda tidak mencintainya—Anda hanya bermain bersama untuk kenyamanan Anda sendiri. Cinta sejati bukan tentang penerimaan pasif; ini tentang meningkatkan, membuatnya bertanggung jawab, dan membimbingnya untuk menjadi diri terbaiknya. Jika Anda tidak bisa melakukan itu, Anda takut atau tidak tertarik pada masa depannya.

Seorang pria yang tidak memiliki rencana jangka panjang untuk seorang wanita akan membiarkan dia "melakukan apa pun." "Dia akan membiarkan dia berpakaian setengah telanjang, merokok, minum sembrono, dan bertindak liar karena dia tidak peduli tentang masa depannya—dia hanya ada di sana untuk sensasi jangka pendek. Dia tidak berinvestasi padanya sebagai mitra; dia mengeksploitasi dia. Dan bagian terburuknya? Banyak wanita lebih suka ini. Mereka menganggap diamnya sebagai cinta, tidak menyadari bahwa seorang pria yang tidak memperbaikinya tidak menghormati mereka.

Bandingkan ini dengan pria yang benar-benar mencintai seorang wanita. Dia tidak akan duduk dan membiarkannya menghancurkan dirinya sendiri. Dia akan menceritakan kebenaran yang sulit, bahkan jika itu menyengat. Jika dia berpakaian tidak tepat atau terlibat dalam kebiasaan merusak diri sendiri, dia akan menghadapinya karena dia peduli. Dia tidak mengendalikannya—dia melindunginya. Cinta sejati melibatkan disiplin dan koreksi karena ia melihat potensi dirinya dan ingin membangun masa depan bersama.

Tapi inilah masalahnya: banyak wanita tidak dapat mengatasi koreksi. Mereka lebih suka menyerap emosi mereka, mengeluh kepada teman-teman, dan mendengar kebohongan seperti, "Kamu layak mendapatkan yang lebih baik, sayang. "Mereka membingungkan bimbingan dengan kontrol, menolak orang-orang yang cukup peduli untuk meminta pertanggungjawaban mereka. Sementara itu, mereka berpegangan pada pria yang membiarkan mereka melakukan apa pun yang mereka inginkan—pria yang tidak peduli dengan masa depan mereka. Lingkaran dapat diprediksi, dan hasilnya selalu sama: penyesalan.

Teman-teman, berhenti memungkinkan kekacauan. Jika seorang wanita menolak koreksi, dia tidak sepadan dengan waktumu. Seorang wanita yang benar-benar menghargai Anda akan menghormati bimbingan Anda, bukan membencinya. Koreksi bukan tentang kontrol—itu adalah tindakan cinta. Jika kamu mencintainya, kamu ingin dia menjadi versi terbaik dari dirinya sendiri. Tetapi jika dia tidak dapat menangani akuntabilitas, dia belum siap untuk hubungan yang nyata.

Dan wanita, pahami ini: pria yang mengkoreksi Anda bukanlah musuhmu—dia adalah sekutu Anda. Pria yang tetap diam tidak peduli padamu; dia hanya menghabiskan waktu. Orang yang memanggilmu keluar adalah berinvestasi di masa depanmu. Jangan menyalahartikan disiplinnya dengan kritik. Dia membangunmu, bukan menghancurkanmu.

Intinya? Cinta sejati bukan tentang membiarkan seseorang "melakukan apa pun yang mereka inginkan. "Ini tentang menetapkan standar, saling bertanggung jawab, dan membangun masa depan yang solid bersama. Jika kamu tidak mau memperbaiki wanita yang bersamamu, kamu tidak benar-benar mencintainya. Dan jika dia tidak dapat menangani koreksi, dia juga tidak mencintai atau menghormati Anda.

Tetaplah kuat, tetaplah tajam, dan tuntut pertanggung jawaban dalam setiap hubungan. Seorang wanita yang layak dijaga akan menghargai bimbingan Anda dan menghormati kepemimpinan Anda. Apa pun yang kurang adalah buang-buang waktu.

Pria ini bukan pengemis atau gelandangan

Ini Leo Tolstoy seorang novelis dan filsuf Rusia, yang paling dikenal karena novel-novelnya "War and Peace" dan "Anna Karenina". Dia dianggap sebagai salah satu penulis terhebat sepanjang masa dan tokoh kunci dalam gerakan realis dalam literatur.

Dia menjual semua yang dia miliki untuk tunawisma untuk memiliki rumah dan pengemis untuk memiliki makanan.

Tolstoy lahir pada 9 September 1828, di Rusia dan meninggal pada 20 November 1910. Tulisan beliau sering mengeksplorasi tema moralitas, etika, dan kondisi manusia, dan karya-karya beliau masih banyak dibaca dan dipelajari hingga kini.

Beberapa kutipan terkenalnya meliputi:
“Jangan ceritakan tentang agama mu kepadaku, izinkan aku melihat agama mu dalam tindakan mu”

"Jika kamu merasakan sakit. Kau masih hidup. Tapi, jika kamu merasakan sakit orang lain, kamu manusia"

Warisan Tolstoy melampaui literatur juga. Dia juga seorang filsuf dan reformis sosial, dan gagasannya tentang perlawanan tanpa kekerasan dan kehidupan sederhana telah menginspirasi para pemimpin seperti Mahatma Gandhi dan Martin Luther King Jr.
