Not Taking Things Personal – Part 1: The Sting

from Grappling In Thought · host Grappling In Thought

It stings when you’re left on read, misunderstood, or when someone’s tone makes you feel like you did something wrong. But most of the time, it’s not about you.In this episode, I dive into why we take things so personally...from overthinking every look, text, and silence to believing someone’s mood is our fault. You’ll learn how curiosity can stop the spiral, how the “spotlight effect” tricks our brain, and how to shift perspective by asking what you’d tell your best friend in the same situation.Part 1 of our “Not Taking Things Personal” series.
