Hurt People
Feb 01, 2025
Your boss is a JERK π€
Impossible colleague. π
Working with real live actual humans can sometimes be a lot. π©
Sometimes they…
π‘ Get angry with you
π Blame you
π Take you for granted
π₯ Attack you
It doesn’t make a lot of sense. π€·βοΈ
Except it does. π€
Any human that has ever walked the earth knows what it’s like to get hurt. π
We can get hurt in all sorts of ways: spiritually π, emotionally π’, physically π©Ή, psychologically π§ …
For better or worse, especially when we get hurt a lot - one reaction is to hurt others. The hope is that if we hurt others first, we’ll get hurt less.
In caveman times? Sure - maybe that worked sometimes. πͺπ
Almost always today - it’s old wiring. It doesn’t work that way anymore. π
And yet we still have the wiring. βοΈ
The opportunity: realize the next time somebody lashes out at you, they’re just injured. π©Ήπ
It might be an injury they don’t even realize they have. π€·
It might be an injury from a long time ago. β³
They’re not bad, they’re just hurt. π
While it may not be your job to heal them.
When you want to, you can offer compassion.
π Let's get your career stuff handled, find time to talk here. π²
