It's Not About Me

I do not have control over how people treat me, but I can control my reaction to people and their treatment of me. I've come to realize that when people are passive aggressive, unpleasant or exhibit other negative behavior, it is not about me, but about themselves.

Let me practice being pleasant with unpleasant people and if that doesn't work, I'll walk away.

Update: It's not easy to not take “attacks” personally, even when you know the same aggressors target other people in a similar way. Ah, this kind of patience is a work in progress for me.
