Sometimes I have a difficult time understanding this, because my reaction to past failure has been different than this type of reaction. That being said, I'm not her, and I know I'll never truly know what it's like to be her.

Usually, I don't take things so personally. I guess I've just been hit with a lot of similar situations involving people lately, so my tolerance level is lower than normal. Thanks for letting me vent everyone.

I used to be so understanding to people’s reasons behind their bullying, putting me down, etc just so that they could get it out of their system. I would only focus on their reasons but not their behavior, which was of course a mistake. I started putting my boundaries and eliminated those people from my life.
While I still try my best to understand and emphasize, I no longer tolerate their behavior. They are two different things. Understanding doesn’t hurt me but tolerating without boundaries do hurt me.
