Respond vs React

I am a very sensitive person and I want to help. My help always comes from the heart ❤️. I deeply care how my interaction affects people and I listen to them. But interaction with people is not always pleasant, sometimes they get upset and say not so pleasant words. For many years I took it personally and it hurt me.

Eventually I understood that this doesn’t work and I asked advice of my spiritual teacher. He told me that I need to understand that nobody even my closest people don’t know me as I know myself. People see other people from their own perception based on their beliefs system, based on their ideas about me, themselves and life in general.

When people talk to you they mostly project, they mostly actually talk about themselves. So I became very curious about their opinions as it helps me to understand them better. I became fascinated with how much I learned.

The biggest key to practice is to
