This Quote changed my life

“Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”

When people say certain words, it hurts me. I will not deny that. I also don't want to distance myself from peoples words to me.

Good stuff to remember when our tendency to be self centric causes us to forget this.

@fun4us2b Whenever people treated me badly, I thought it was my fault, that there was something wrong with me. Married to a narcissist for 20 years didn’t help either. Finding this quote was the beginning of my healing. In a better place.

@Princess54 Narcs are absolute nightmares - so sorry, and so glad you are digging out from under it all.

Very true, and something to remember. "Projections of their own reality".

I always evaluate motive rather than the act
