Something that’s really been driven home for me the last few days: “IT IS NOT MY JOB TO ACCOMODATE ANYONE ELSE’S VIEW OF REALITY.” I have had a long-standing habit of “dealing with” or “managing people” just so I could have what I wanted, whether it was dealing with my family so they’d be calm so *I* could then relax, or with any other ‘social’ interaction. But I’ve remembered that I just need to accomodate my OWN view of reality, to back myself up, and then all the rest just falls away. I feel like I’m 100 pounds lighter now! 🙂
