Nicole M “Greetings, it is I Talabeus. Today we shall talk about being open with one another about things that bother you. This is an important skill to learn, as it will help you have more comfort in the long run if done properly. When someone does something that does not sit right on you, tell them. In a nice way. If they get irritated, that is their problem. Do not let it affect you. I am not talking about idiosyncrasies, there is only one way to deal with those and that is to ignore them and focus on something else instead. No no, this is about someone stepping on your toes, someone who is rude to you, someone who puts you down, someone who takes the wind out of your sails. Those things are not ok. And as such, you have a right to “defend” yourself by any means necessary that does not involve being mean or retaliating viciously. You could say something like “well that was a kind thing to say/do”. I believe you call this a “guilt-trip”, however we view this more as an adjustment to the other person’s behavior. They need to see that they are being unkind. How the person reacts is not your business, you have done your job, and that is to teach kindness. You will find, that no matter if you get positive or negative responses from the person, you will feel at peace that you have said something to defend yourself in a subtle way. Do not let people do these things to you, and do not do them to others. We are working hard toward peace, are we not? Act the part. That is all for today, we in the higher realms love all of you very much, we are with you every day.
With blessings for you, Talabeus.”
