The Ego.
I am not going to miss a couple of egos when they exit my life. I don’t know how normal people deal with it. Having someone get in my face on two separate occasions for some ill perceived wrong is not fun.
Something that has changed within me is that I no longer pick up other people’s baggage. This is a recent thing as well. I think we all struggle with it to some degree but more and more it’s gotten easier for me to see what issues are mine and which ones belong entirely to the other person.
Sometimes, I have to pause and think, “ok, is this about me or is this about him?” More often than not, it’s about the other person and the reason I am uncomfortable is because my go to response is to think that I have done something wrong.
I just want to be around happy, well developed people, not this dysfunctional family crap. I work really hard to keep my ego grounded and in check, why can’t other people do the same as well.
Or as my sponsor likes to say, “this is all very good information.”
