HURT PEOPLE- HURT PEOPLE

The first time I heard this I thought - how true it is.

I have known people that were abused growing up, both physically or verbally, and unfortunately they seem to pass it on when they grow up. Rather it is the hate that is in them from being abused or rather that is what they feel relationships are because that is all they know they pass it on for some reason.

The same go for people in business, we all know people that we work with that miserable or negative, most likely there are reasons for that. In the moment or the heat of the battle quite frankly we do not care. All we know is that they are making our life's more difficult and our natural reaction is to get angry. Unfortunately that plays into their hand and it will never change they way they view things.

So, what to do ?

If the opportunity ever presents itself try to strike up a conversation with these people and perhaps even share some of your own personal stories. If they open up a bit you may learn a little more about them. They may be going through something at the time, a separation or a loved one going through some medical issues. I know a lot of people that would never share their personal problems with others but their wife or husband may be going through cancer treatments or their child may have a disability but if you knew it you may understand why they may be short tempered on a particular day.
After all what you deem as " a big deal" or important in their world does not even hit the bottom rung of the ladder.

Of coarse any of our personal issues will spill into our day to day. We are only human.

So rather it is some deep rooted issues that we grew up with or some thing more recent there is probably a reason why a person reacts the way they do.
