We Should NOT Be Bothered ALL THE TIME

We Should NOT Be Bothered ALL THE TIME

We Should NOT Be Bothered ALL THE TIME but hey, we are wired to seek connection and belonging, right?  Yet sometimes, many things about others does IRRITATE us, right?  From family and friends, colleagues to communities, we crave for that SENSE OF ACCEPTANCE and validation from those around us.  BUT in the presence of others, we often find ourselves IRRITATED, frustrated or upset.  Some personality traits or habit annoy us or even trigger an insecure moment💎💎💎

When someone is always late and it bothers us, it may be because we value punctuality and timeliness in both ourselves and others and just feel that the other person is NOT respective or valuing our time.  Alternatively, if someone is very outspoken and we find ourselves getting annoyed by them, it may be because we are uncomfortable with expressing our own opinions or feel uncertain about our beliefs.  We can gain greater SELF-AWARENESS and understanding by examining our reactions to others and exploring the underlying reasons for our feelings💵💴💷

BTW, I will even admit that sometimes I do get bothered by goings-on in Geo-Politics or even in domestic and political events in my country.  BUT not to defend myself, I'll openly admit that that is just pretty normal.  When we become triggered, we must take a step back and analyze WHY these things bother us.  According to Carl Jung, the respected Swiss psychiatrist, 'UNDERSTANDING WHAT IRRITATES US ABOUT OTHERS CAN ALSO BE VITAL TO UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES'.  Oooops, we should be on heightened ALERT if nothing IRRITATES us📘📗📙

Carl Jung goes farther and opines that our reactions to the behaviors and traits of others CAN and very likely reveal deep-seated insecurities, fears and unresolved issues within ourselves.  This is troubling, right?  Because apparently, when we DON'T see the 'chinks in our armor' and instead we tend to see those 'chinks' in other people, then it's either we are so glued to a one-way mirror❗❗❗

And neither do we want to be like that gold fish in the fish bowl, right?  WHY jump from your fish bowl simply jump out for no legitimate reason other than being IRRITATED?  So, our insight for today is that, there's nothing wrong to be bothered as long as you are incisive enough to SELF-VALIDATE the legitimacy of your triggered IRRITATION.  Otherwise, we SHOULD NOT BE BOTHERED ALL THE TIME✅✅✅
