Been in that painful place where you are just taking the wrath of what others are saying and doing. You are busy trying to fix it. Trying to fix them. You walk away crying or deeply wounded and later end up spoiling in anger. 

What if, it has nothing to do with you. What if you do not need to correct them but control your reactions around them? 

We take a lot personally but maybe this person is lashing out because of what they are dealing with and going through?

Sometimes, it is just not about you.  We did nothing wrong. You are just in a vortex of their energy and you need to maintain your boundaries and tempo. 

You are not always the trigger.
