If someone truly cares about you, it would
break their heart to know they’ve hurt you.
People make mistakes, but when you tell
them they’ve caused you pain, they
respond by gaslighting, deflecting, lying,
or manipulating – that’s not love; it’s ego.
In these moments, they’re more focused
on avoiding criticism and judgment and
protecting the image they have of
themselves than on your feelings. Your
words threaten the illusions they hold, so
they get defensive, interpreting your
honesty as an insult.
They don’t care about how you feel –
they’re upset because you called them out.
