Do you have emotional ears?

Being disrespected vs you feeling disrespected. 🤔

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

Indeed. Discerning the difference can be rather hard.

I would wager a larger percentage for most are reactions based from triggers, our own internal dialogue and insecurities.

@Magenta Such a challenge.

I know Ive a heart big enough for what is...right now. But still I perpetuate old pain as if there's no more room. Frustrated.

@Trippin Aw, right? It's hard to separate what was with what is, emotionally. Then add projection to the mix and we have a swirl of confusion. Especially on-line. Haha! 🤪

I know I get triggered by a [i]very[/i] [i]specific[/i] person. I am learning to not react as much until the initial reaction fades, to be more objective..
