You Are Not Responsible For Someone Else’s Feelings – Only Your Own (And They Aren’t Responsible for Yours)
A concept most of us have grown up with is that other people “make” us feel a certain way. Or, conversely, we’ll feel bad if we say or do something because it will “make” the other person feel hurt. Unfortunately we don’t have the power or control over someone else’s feelings, nor they over ours. We are responsible for our own feelings, and other people are responsible for theirs. The blame game is an immature way to approach emotions. Learn a more mature way.
