People treat others with behaviors and words that have been modeled for them.
This is their normal.
If other’s behaviors are unkind and reactive, remind yourself that this is their limited way of expressing themselves through a narrow lens, and in no way is reflective of you.
Seek communication and collaboration through a wider lens.
In relationships, when we collaborate and step outside the box to resolve our challenges, we recognize collaboration as a flow…a win win rather than engaging in adversarial behaviors.
Love and blessings,
