We all do this. We immediately defend ourselves. How about we switch it around. How about we try to put ourselves in the other person’s shoes. Just maybe then you can have compassion instead of feeling you need to justify your actions.
We need to react to understand. Even if you’re right. Try to see their side. Try to understand how this person felt. How they may have misinterpreted your actions or words. Do this with your companions. Kids. Coworkers. Friends.
Yeah it takes patience but hey isn’t it worth it?
