How do I stop being sensitive to the selfish actions of others?

[A94582773]

I don't want to feel entitled to good treatment. Sure we all want to be treated with manners and consideration and respect but to get sensitive every time someone doesn't treat me with those things is really just making ME miserable.

Thanks for any advice!

This is the human condition, taking offence to others genuinely bad/horrible behavior towards you. It's a normal reaction to feel miserable by this. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do to remedy the internal problem inside the person, or persons that are committing immoral actions towards you. You just have to hope that with time and age these people will recognize what they've done in the past is wrong and damaging towards others, and repent on it. Some do, and some don't. It takes a lot of effort, energy and thinking/reflection to turn yourself into a better human being.

There are no 'tips' or 'tricks' I, or anyone else can give you to remedy your issue. All I can say is dealing with this concept generally does get better with age and time. You become wiser and a better judge of character the more you experience of other people and the world. Another two things you get quite good at as you get older is saying no, and learning to leave people alone that are genuinely selfish and immoral towards you.

The final thing you can get better at recognizing is learning who to trust and who not to trust. You sound like quite a caring person, and you need to realize unfortunately that not all people are nice people. Don't expect a positive relationship with everyone you meet. Until someone has proven that are trustworthy and a positive/constructive being in your life, don't let them in to your 'inner circle'. Remember if you put off ingredients into your cooking, it ruins the whole meal.

I hope my advice helped, and I hope you find people who have more of a positive impact in your life.
