Do you have emotional ears?

Being disrespected vs you feeling disrespected. 🤔

Is it what they said... Or what you are triggered by🤔

There's a lot in that mix, to be fair.

I have been disrespected by "professionals" in my time. 😉 I can tell when it's intentional. There's a horrible tone of voice that goes along with it, usually, and if I am face to face with the person disrespecting me, there is a nasty twisted "face" they make.

I can hear a voice saying something that could almost be nice, but if the tone is dripping with sarcasm, it's NOT nice.

But I also have my triggers, and I won't tell you what they are. I don't want folks setting out deliberately to pull them here on SW.

@4meAndyou Heard. And I get it. That oftentimes twisted inevitable connection between what we hear...how we hear it .. and where that simple circumstance can take us.

@Trippin The ex used to take things that I said and twist them around until I didn't recognize what was happening. In his crazy head he would only hear what he wanted to hear. Next thing I knew, he would be screaming at me, and I would be like, "no..no...that's not what I said!!!
