@thepottymouthguru: Everyone’s calling out defensiveness… 🙋♀️ But if you’re the one who’s hurt, you still have a role in how it plays out. When your system spikes, it makes sense that it comes out intense, global, or sharp. You’re trying to be heard. But the way it comes out can make the other person shut down… and now the original feeling never actually lands. That’s the loop. Your pain is valid. And making it receivable changes everything. ❤️🤟🏻🌿 #thepottymouthguru #relationships #communication #relationshippatterns #defensiveness If you keep having the same fight, DM me IMPACT 💬
But what if I do label the underlying feeling and I’m still dismissed or invalidated??? The same problem of me not being considered or involved keeps happening in different ways and I keep reacting from the pattern

In my experience both parties played a role in whatever the event is. I like to take some time and reflect on the others feelings and how my actions and words could have been taken , not how I meant them.

What happens when the defensiveness happens regardless of how the hurt is articulated?

I told them they hurt me more than they will ever know and their response was to be angry with me.... so I walked away....

so then how do you actually discuss a pattern of behavior that leaves you feeling dismissed/hurt/etc?

i wonder why i was able to see the hurt beneath the anger when roles were switched but my friend is not. instead he told me I'm overreacting. which triggers me cause that's currently one of my biggest issues in life (not being emotional die to fear of rejection, and recently being gaslit by my boss about my perception), hmph.

Okay but what about when it’s the pattern and it really is way more about the isolated event?

and sadly doing this and always honoring the truth as much as possible still might not be enough, so brace yourselves and find some professionals to support you
