This is my issue.

It's why I struggle when people are unkind, I automatically internalise and lack the boundary.

Then I build the boundary. And because it's after the fact it looks like a grudge and I look bitter and I take longer than most people to forget about it.

I think most people have a thing where they can choose whose words to take seriously or not?

I definitely relate to being frustrated about being cut off in the middle of explaining an idea and feeling misunderstood. That will sit tensely on my mind the rest of the interaction.


Yes exactly! For me I would also think about it throughout the rest of the interaction -- and oftentimes even after the interaction is over.
