It’s Really Not About You

No matter how much it seems like someone’s behavior is directed at you, it is never, ever personal. It can’t be. Even if they think they’re reacting to you, they’re just responding to their perception of you and what they believe to be your motives. You aren’t aware of all the reasons for your own behavior, so it’s highly doubtful that they are. Next time someone has an unpleasant reaction to you, remember, it’s not about you…

It’s about their projection.
