Do you believe that we are responsible for other people’s reactions to us? If others tell us we ‘hurt’ them, is it true? Can we really hurt others by simply being ourselves?

Most of us have learned that it’s our job to make sure others feel OK. It’s like a bargain we have made unconsciously with each other “I’ll make you feel OK if you make me feel OK”. A sure way to lose touch with our true responsibility and how we give our power away to others...

Who do we think is worthy of our trust? What is it that makes someone ‘trustworthy’ to us? What about the times that someone didn’t come through for us when we needed them to? How did we reconcile that disappointment? What do those experiences do to our level of ‘trust’ about others as the next situation arises? Can someone be completely ‘trustworthy’ to us?...
