Let them. (What have you walked away from and not looked back?)

I thought this might be interesting.
There's a saying go round and a group called let them.

You walk away from conflict, arguments, problems without getting angry and getting into conflict also chasing people when the relationship is toxic.
You basically walk away and let people think what they want.
Have you walked away and not engaged recently and let them.

I think sometimes it can make you feel better.

We always think we have to engage, argue back, try and get our point across, be worried about what people think.
Have you adopted the let them approach and has it helped you?

I don’t think we do always think we need to argue back or put our point across. Sometimes yes, depending on the situation.

I’m certainly not unduly concerned about what other people think. I care very much what I think of my own actions and choices, but there are probably fewer than ten people in the world whose opinion, if different from mine on something I’d done, would cause me concern.

I've not heard of this approach.
I really wish I could do this but tbh I would need to really work on myself to be able to.
