I’ve had really bad interactions with strangers this past weekend and I feel like a little bitch for letting this affect my mental health. How do I navigate life without letting petty situations dictate my mood?
I know I’m sensitive, I’ve been this way forever. My Dad use to call me “drop of a hat” because I cried so much when I was younger. I have worked on my self esteem and I don’t think the problem is I’m insecure it’s more like I just don’t like when people are rude to me. Whenever I have a bad interaction with a stranger I reply it over and over again in my head to see where I went wrong in the situation to make it happen. Just trying to take full accountability and prevent it in the future. But then I am fixated on these thoughts and I’m down a rabbit hole.
How does everyone brush things off so easily? Any readings or videos that anyone recommends to help me with these thoughts and feelings?
