Some people will never grow because they can’t hear without getting defensive. They can’t see the ways they hurt others, only the threat they feel when someone points it out. They focus on their own discomfort instead of the impact of their actions.
If someone can’t sit with the truth of their behaviour, they will keep repeating the same patterns.

It’s too bad really because this one thing (getting defensive, instead of hearing how someone is feeling) tanks a lot of relationships. I’m just glad I ended up on a healing journey, which has allowed me to not take things so personally. We are going to impact one another, and life is so much better when you can sit down and chat in a safe, mutually beneficial space. I also know, however, that some pairings are just not compatible enough, which explains my two divorces! Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
Chatgirl
