And walk away.<\/strong>
But will that solve my problem<\/strong>
or will it be just a comfortable escape?<\/strong>
People always asked me<\/strong>
why I come up with such \u201cstrange\u201d solutions.<\/strong>
Wouldn\u2019t it be easier <\/strong>
to slam your hand on the table?<\/strong>
Wouldn\u2019t it be better to just leave?<\/strong>
Why do you make it so hard for yourself??<\/strong>

Understanding yourself is one thing.<\/strong>
Understanding others <\/strong>
is something completely different.<\/strong>

It\u2019s called Empathy.<\/strong>
And highly sensitive people, like me,<\/strong>
have plenty of it\u2026 \ud83d\ude42<\/strong>
We don\u2019t think only about ourselves.<\/strong>
We think about others.<\/strong>
And only then about ourselves.<\/strong>
We need to learn to set wise boundaries.<\/strong>
We need them.<\/strong>

Coming back to empathy,<\/strong>
which can help People<\/strong>
communicate better.<\/strong>

What is empathy?<\/strong>
The ability to feel others.<\/strong>
To step into their shoes <\/strong>
to understand them.<\/strong>

“And what if I can\u2019t?”<\/strong>
At least allow myself to accept that:<\/strong>
Other people have emotions too.<\/strong>
Other people cry too.<\/strong>
Other people get angry too.<\/strong>
“At me?”<\/strong>
Well\u2026 you know\u2026<\/strong>
And they have their reasons \ud83d\ude42<\/strong>
Yes, at you.<\/strong>
Yes, at me.<\/strong>
We don\u2019t always have to fight <\/strong>
to be right.<\/strong>

Everyone has their own version <\/strong>
of being right.<\/strong>
Wrapped tightly <\/strong>
in their strong emotions.<\/strong>

So how do we not slam that door <\/strong>
when it hurts?<\/strong>
Allow the fact<\/strong>
that just like you,<\/strong>
everyone has their own truth.<\/strong>
Their own point of view.<\/strong>

Looking at it this way, <\/strong>
we don\u2019t have to fight.<\/strong>
We can talk instead.<\/strong>
With curiosity.<\/strong>
About each other.<\/strong>
With care.<\/strong>
What happened from your side?<\/strong>
But only when the emotions settle.<\/strong>
Yours.<\/strong>
And theirs.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And walk away. But will that solve my problem or will it be just a comfortable escape?
