If you dislike yourself, you'll struggle to like others. When someone treats you badly, it usually reflects their own problems, not something you did. Remembering this reduces the hurt and helps you stay kind.

It is very difficult to be good with others if we're not good with ourselves. Or in other words, if you don't like yourself, it's very hard to like other people. And I think we've all experienced a scenario where somebody reacts poorly or treats us inappropriately. Maybe it's a stranger, maybe it's somebody we know. And in those situations, we need to remind ourselves that There is probably something going on inside of them, with them, that has nothing to do with you, that is causing them to lash out or to react poorly towards you. So, the next time you feel treated unjustly, just remind yourself it's not about— it's not about you. It's probably about them.
