It seems to me that relationships are a balancing act. I'm not particularly good at them (as evidenced by my single status) but I'm learning. I'm not just talking about romantic relationships, I'm talking about all of the people that we have some kind of connection with. Recently I have been taking notice of how the way that I am feeling effects how I feel about I think other people feel about me.
I don't know about you, but I always assume that I feel the same all the time, it's just that sometimes your day is filled with stupid people. No? just me then! ok, well I have mentioned before I'm a slow learner haha. Anyhow, I have started taking not of the fact that sometimes I feel a bit blah, you know flat, uninspired or whatever, and then when I meet people I assume that they hate me and I've done something wrong. Is this just me?? I'm pretty sure it's not.
Memo to self: it is not all about me, on the whole as long as you are polite and kind and interested in them, you are ok. And just maybe, if the other person comes across that they don't want to interact with you, it is not automatically something you did wrong, but just that they are feeling blah in the space they are in. Just be kind. Always be kind.
I've never come across you on any day where you are not kind and lovely x
ReplyDeletevery wise advice, too often we think we have done something , said something, to someone, when something totally different is going on in their life. So yes, be kind to others and have compassion towards ourselves as well. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI need this lesson!

ReplyDeleteHaving never actually met you I have to go by the blog. So, I think you are a talented, patient, loving, good and kind person!
ReplyDeleteI guess we all sometimes have doubts about our personality. I do. I'll keep your last paragraph in mind when I next think someone doesn't like me.
ReplyDeleteP.S. First visit, will come back.
A good piece of advice, I try to be kind always though sometimes my lack of social skills means it doesn't come across as well as I'd like. I still try though.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe they are just having a bad day themselves.
ReplyDeleteI've found as I get older that it's easier to care less about what other people think of me. But sometimes the kindness thing is hard too.
