    General / Everyday Meaning An elder refers to: A person who is older than someone else (e.g., "respect your elders" — meaning people senior to you in age).An older or aged person in general.••Someone of greater age, experience, or rank in a family or group (e.g., "the elder brother/sister"). Knowledge keepers — They preserve oral history, myths, environmental wisdom, healing practices, and cultural traditions. Younger generations rely on them to transmit essential information.Decision-makers and mediators — Elders frequently serve as advisors, conflict resolvers, ritual leaders, or heads of kin groups / clans.Authority figures — In some age-graded systems (e.g., certain East African or Plains Indigenous groups), men progress through formal "age sets" or "age grades," eventually becoming respected elders with political or ceremonial power.••Family and community integrators — Multigenerational households are common; elders often live with kin, help with childcare, storytelling, and light work, and are supported by family obligations (e.g., filial piety in many Asian traditions). With age comes wisdom (universal proverb; experience teaches what youth can't).To know the road ahead, ask those coming back. (Chinese proverb — seek elder guidance.)When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground. (African proverb — elders hold irreplaceable knowledge.)An elderly person at home is like a living golden treasure. (Chinese proverb — value their presence.)Respect the old and cherish the young. (Chinese/Confucian teaching — balance generations.)••Gray hair is a crown of splendor. (Biblical/Proverbs 16:31 — honor earned through righteous living.) dotpaw podcast mid roll #2  Support the show @dotpaw1 on X https://buymeacoffee.com/dotpaw1 https://dotpawpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ https://www.buzzsprout.com/2033334 https://rumble.com/c/dotpawpodcast https://www.stickermule.com/dotpaw1 @bbb3 on Minds https://linktr.ee/dotpaw Feed | IPFS Podcasting https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084218271364 https://dotpaw.net/index.html --DISCLAIMER-- This show contains the opinions of the host and guests and is meant for entertainment purposes only.

    dotpaw podcast - Trust

    The core idea is that certain folks appear standoffish or closed-off not because they're mean or ungrateful, but because their nervous system has been wired by past hurts to expect disappointment or betrayal. This creates a protective pattern: Their body language stays defensive (crossed arms, tight face).Their mind jumps to worst-case scenarios ("They'll let me down eventually").••This isn't deliberate rudeness—it's a survival strategy learned from history. Practical, grounded ways to start changing it (while keeping self-respect): Build trust incrementally—share one small thing, not everything at once.Focus on consistent actions over smooth words.Communicate needs directly instead of silent tests.Use boundaries as flexible "doors with rules," not total walls.When your brain predicts betrayal, check for current evidence vs. past echoes.Calm the body first (stress habits like breathing, movement) so decisions aren't fear-driven.••Pick one safe relationship to practice in slowly—growth comes from repeated small, safe experiences. https://www.verywellmind.com/why-you-may-have-trust-issues-and-how-to-overcome-them-5215390 dotpaw podcast mid roll #2  Support the show @dotpaw1 on X https://buymeacoffee.com/dotpaw1 https://dotpawpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ https://www.buzzsprout.com/2033334 https://rumble.com/c/dotpawpodcast https://www.stickermule.com/dotpaw1 @bbb3 on Minds https://linktr.ee/dotpaw Feed | IPFS Podcasting https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084218271364 https://dotpaw.net/index.html --DISCLAIMER-- This show contains the opinions of the host and guests and is meant for entertainment purposes only.
