Our judgments of others are hidden expressions of unmet desires or needs. When we’re not getting our needs met, it’s common to blame it on someone, especially when we’re wanting it from them, in particular. But, no one else is responsible for how we feel. That’s an inside job. Rather than expecting others to read our minds, we can communicate with them what we’d like and give them a chance to give it to us. Or we can explore the need and give it to ourselves. When we do the latter, an interesting thing usually happens, they magically respond…

In kind.
