I enjoyed reading your latest post on passion. It provided an indication of where I would like to be heading in my life.
Thanks Justin. Glad you found this sign pebble on your way.
I enjoyed reading your post of resentment. I hope I can get to where you are. My adult neice who lives with me has a lot of a family trait sort of ESP or aware of true emotions. I am full of all sorts of feeling that she reads as angry, hostile & ready for a fight & those feeling are not directed to her. It is hard to make her understand. Every conversation seems to end in an argument. I don’t know why I am telling you this but I am. I lke your blog.
Thank you. I am responsible for my behavior, knowing it impacts others. I have the right to be angry, hostile and feel such things. How others interpret it is their choice. Knowing now how my behavior impacts them, I can choose what I decide to share, or how I will express myself (choice of words, tone of voice, body language). I think that getting the message accross to her with love and compassion about the fact that the feelings are not directed at her, could be repeated a few times if necessary. You have the right to your ways and feelings, and now that you know how it impacts her, you can choose how to manoeuver. And she would have to respect that you are entitled to your feelings too. A lot could be said here about personal boundaries. Thank you for your interesting comment.
