Post 426: Hurting Myself

November 23, 20231 min read

Talking to my daughter about getting upset at her sister as a strategy for her sister to pay attention to her:

“So, for your plan to work, you have to be hurt. Because the only way your sister is going to care is for you to actually be hurting. Which means you need to get yourself so worked up that you are in real pain. Or you could try sitting down and telling her authentically how you are feeling and what you are thinking, and deal with what she is thinking and feeling. One way causes much less pain for you than the other.”

I feel this advice applies to many situations.
