Why Do We Take Everything Personally?

No matter how important you think you are, people move on faster than you expect.They forget what you said, how you reacted, even how you showed up. Yet we spend so much time taking things personally. We get offended by behaviour, worried about reactions, scared of consequences that may never come. Most situations settle on their own. What is meant to happen will happen, even if you stop overthinking it. Life feels simpler when you loosen your grip and let things be.
