@thepottymouthguru: If you grew up always explaining other people’s behaviour… always finding the good in them… always giving one more chance… that might not be simple kindness. That was your nervous system trying to stay safe. 🧠 Kids often learn to see caregivers as good no matter what. Because the alternative is just too terrifying for a child’s brain to hold. So the brain adapts, reframes and rationalizes. And that survival pattern can follow you into adulthood… where you keep excusing behaviour that hurts you. Understanding why you do this is the first step to finally changing it. ❤🤟🏻🌿 #unfuckyourself #thepottymouthguru #childhoodpatterns #nervoussystem #selfawareness
