When someone keeps explaining themselves, pause.
They’re not trying to convince you. They’re trying to feel safe.
Safe from being misread. Safe from being dismissed. Safe from being blamed.
That habit didn’t come from nowhere. It came from not being heard.
Respond with patience. It means more than you think. –Akanksha Priyadarshini
This is a good perspective. I don’t know if I’ve considered that before. Thanks
