Instead of telling yourself, “This person is very mean.”
Simply ask yourself, “What made this person so cruel?”
I’ve read an anonymous quote that says, “Patience is when you’re supposed to be mad, but you choose to understand.” — I find this true for those who think deeply.
I know this is a rare skill to have, and intelligent people are those who can understand with empathy before getting hurt and setting healthy boundaries at the same time.
There is always a story behind a person’s behavior. If you meet a troublemaker, it means the person likely had a rough childhood with no love.
I know this doesn’t give anyone a free pass to be abusive to you because of their past, but it can help you to understand the origin of their behavior.
