When I reflect on my ex relationship, I feel that there was a lot of things that come up about not listening to each other, having our guard up etc. But i went into a dark place of thinking i was a terrible person because of it, even questioning if I was a narcissist lol.
I have no one to ask that question of - I am not dating and I am in the midst of a divorce process right now.

Many people don't implement what is called active listening - which is truly being present while another person is speaking. We all have to work at this, I do believe. And you're only a terrible person if you deliberately want to hurt other people and do so knowingly. That's a terrible person. Otherwise, we all have faults and weaknesses - no one is perfect. And we all have our strengths and positive attributes.
