You're not alone Caroline. At lot of the time I feel like things are about me or directed at me even if the person says that it was not about me. I still think that I must have influenced her/his thoughts.

I think we have to realize that people are flawed. People have bad days. I think most of the time people don't have bad intentions but once in a while they may. We just have to have enough self esteem to know that it is more about them than it is about ourselves.

Sorry if my post isn't all that reassuring...

All I can do is be non judgemental and treat everyone with kindness and forgiveness...hopefully it will rub off on others.
