Why do we push people away when it is an inherent desire to be wanted and loved? Some of us don’t even realize we are doing it until we look back on all the people who are no longer there: good and bad. Ever wonder why? We’ve got 7 examples of how you could be doing it –and not even know it.
1. Taking everything too personally
Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Many of us who live busy lives forget that. People are bad to be around when they believe that everything happening around them is a direct assault on them or is in some way all about them. Not everything is about you. Seriously. People’s reactions to you are about their perspectives, wounds and experiences. Whether people think you’re amazing, or believe you’re the worst, again, is more about them and not you. If you look at it and it applies to you, then do something about it. If it doesn’t, don’t take it personal.
