Just for today let’s remember that every person is doing the best they can.
Not everyone has the same skill set as you, not everyone has had the same experiences.
Some people have learned life upside down and are trying to get their needs met in a way that is backwards. These people yell at you when they feel misunderstood, push you away when they want to be reassured, and ridicule others when they are feeling unworthy.
Some people are pushy, some people are rude, some people smell bad, and some people speak too quietly or too loud. They are all trying to get their needs met.
If you happen to come across someone you don’t understand, it’s safe to believe they are doing the best they can… they just never had someone teach them all of the ways they can meet their needs and still be thoughtful of others.
So just for today, allow yourself to be understanding. Not to make what they are doing ok or to allow them into your circle of trust, but simply so you can continue to feel ok and being the best version of yourself.
