Fwd: Taking offense easily

[Guest guest]

Defusion and acceptance are actually part of the same leg of the ACT three-legged stool called LET GO (see slide #11 on the hexaflex). The secret is to GET MOVING (third leg of the stool consisting of values and committed action).How to get moving when one is in abject grief? Or do we need to let the grief play out.

I am still waiting to hear from you guys about that.

Taking offense easily

Hi all!

I want to get you guys thoughts opinions on something i have been thinking about.

Please forgive me if its a little off topic.

My problem is im super sensitive to comments or silly little things other people

do such as make a joke about me or any criticism aimed at me - not matter how minor.

It has occurred to me that I may be trying to control others behavior and thoughts.

I am personally taking responsibility for what other people say.

The only person I can control is myself and I need not take such personal responsibly for others comments.

It is as if I feel a sense of ownership of the other person and hence i take there comments personally.

I need to realize they are independent people entitled to their own opinions which i May or May not be true.

Sorry for rambling.

If anyone has any thoughts or can relate to this I'd love to hear.

Peace to one and All.

Andy.
