@purplemoon507: #reactions Have you noticed what happens when you stop reacting? When you quit -#explaining yourself? Something #powerful #shifts . People suddenly lose their #control over you. It’s almost immediate, and it’s fascinating to watch. They don’t actually need your silence. What they need is your reaction. Your defensiveness. Your desperate attempts to be understood. Your emotional outbursts. They feed on all that energy. When you stop giving it to them, they have nothing to work with. Nothing to manipulate. Nothing to use against you. Some people unconsciously structure their entire relationships around provoking reactions from others. It gives them a sense of power. Of importance. They need you upset to feel in control. The moment you stop playing that game, you take all their power away. Not by fighting harder, but by not fighting at all. It’s not about winning arguments. It’s about recognizing which ones aren’t worth having. . . .
