Taking It Personally

When I take things personally, I am assuming that the other person cares enough about me to give a flip one way or the other about how something impacts me.

People think about themselves first…and frequently just really don’t have time to always be as considerate as would feel good to others. They are not being mean. They are being busy.

I am sure that I am unconsciously thoughtless at times. I strive to increase my awareness and correct that behavior. It is not the result of plotting against anyone. I’m flighty, disorganized, and have the attention span of a gnat. When you get caught in that trio, you may have bruises to show for it. – but only if you take it personally.
