Just because someone lays something down doesn’t mean we have to pick it up. Responding to something mean with more meanness will only lead to conflict escalation, not resolution.
I know this isn’t easy stuff. Especially in the midst of feeling hurt. But feeling hurt doesn’t mean I have to add to the chaos by returning more hurt.
We don’t have to fall into the trap of saying ugly things back. We don’t have to betray who we are in a moment of feeling offended.
