Post 14: Assume Others are More Like Me

October 07, 20221 min read

I tend to make things personal. For some reason I am disposed to believe people are doing things to me.

He did that to piss me off.

She did that on purpose.

The world always does this to me.

However, when I look at almost every time someone gets mad at me because they took something I said or did personally, I was almost never even aware of them. I did what I did because I thought it was the best thing for me. I mostly think about me. I almost never am doing something to someone.

When I assume others are doing the same thing, so much of my anger subsides. When it is not personal, it simply happened. When I take it personally, I get angry.

When I assume that it is almost never personal, I can get rid of a lot of anger.
