“When you feel the emotional reaction of someone's supposed [verbal] attack, what you're doing is getting them to reflect to you that some portion of yourself feels that way about yourself. Otherwise you wouldn't react. You would just observe it - "oh interesting." - and move on with your day. But if you react to it, it's showing you some part of you actually is buying into this as true.

So say: "Well thank you: Thank you for showing that I was not loving all of myself."

And when you really start doing that, then you may start to see that someone else's attitude toward you may change.”

Kindness and understanding will always be a pinnacle in our lives.”
― Ron Baratono
