#wisdomwednesday There’s a big difference between being judgemental and having good judgment. The former is being unreasonably critical; the latter is facing the truth about reality and then making the appropriate choices. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind

#wisdomwednesday If someone’s behaviour shows you that they don’t care about your needs and feelings, you don’t negotiate with them. You leave. Negotiations are only effective if the other person cares about what you’re saying. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind

#wisdomwednesday The narcissist makes you feel guilty for having an appropriate (negative) reaction to their bad behaviour. In fact, your reaction is sane and they’re trying to make you crazy. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
