How true, Skies, thanks for sharing!๐
That seems a bit toxic tbh...thinking about how your actions affect others is the basis of empathy. Thinking your words can't hurt is a surefire way to possibly negatively affect everyone you talk to.
@Purpleskies69 Thanks for sharing this note! ๐
So how does this work in regards to validating feelings? If the person in misrepresenting what you meant and you tell them that's not what you meant and they tell you to "validate their feelings", how much of the responsibility is on them to identify that they are taking things not meant to be personal or offensive, offensive vs on us to validate these feelings? Would it be wrong to tell that person that they are choosing to take it that way when that wasn't how it was meant to be taken since that doesn't validate how they feel? I am... confused.
