When someone overreacts to something you said, it's usually not about you. Tom Krieglstein explains two reasons: they might be at the breaking point after a day of stress, or the reaction comes from something in their past. The phrase to remember: if it's hysterical, it's historical.
Hey, friends, it is Thom here and I have a question. Have you ever been in a situation or a conversation where you said or did something and the person on the other side of it reacted in a way that was just like 10,000 times more aggressive than what the situation needed? If you're nodding your head yes, I've discovered that the reason they do that is usually one of two things, and neither of them have any anything to do with us. Number one is that you are on the tail end of a series of things that happened in that person throughout that day, and you just happen to be the last domino. And so even though your thing was super tiny for them, it was massive because really, you're dealing with the blunt of everything that they just dealt with that day. And the second is usually something from their past. Have you ever heard the phrase if it's historical or sorry, if it's hysterical, it's historical. And so the reason they reacted because something in their past.
