"Each person is your mirror offering you
a reflection of some aspect of yourself."
THE MESSENGERS
Our reaction to perceived rudeness can be in differing degrees. It can range from minor irritation to a dark deep dive. We can feel anger or resentment build within us towards the assumed offending party. We may choose to distance our selves or shut down.
When we feel discomfort in a person's presence, instead of giving them an evil eye, we might want to step back and ask what is going on with 'us' and not them. As our mind holds ancient baggage and our perceptions may be clouded by previous experience, the fault just might be within us.
A distortion can be created by our own state of mind. What normally would roll off our back on one day, might strike a deep inner cord on another. When we find our lovely selves annoyed by others, it might be a good time to inventory our inner childish reactions. We may be saying, "Clean up on aisle five!"
