I am grateful to have people in my life, who are not afraid to call me out for my behaviour reactions.
I just recently challenged on my behaviour and I realised how irrational I can be a no I don’t see the reality of the situation.
I’m grateful that this situation happened to someone I can trust who called me out on it in a loving, caring and compassionate way.
Going forward, it’s help me to reevaluate how I am to see others and how I should treat others if they have wronged me.
This all stems from her recurrent problem I’ve had, in which I tell myself this false reality based upon one minor event. For example, someone might have said something silly, and I’ve taken it personally, and I’ve never viewed in the same way since.
While what they did was wrong (the small, kernel of truth) I have allowed myself to blow way out of proportion by just sitting there, letting my thoughts spiral downwards.
I’m hoping in future on the ways I can better manage these feelings is to spend more time with people and to get to know them. This will help me to seek the truth of the situation, and to rely less on my own flawed, biased understanding.
