Summary

You don't understand the behavior because you would never do it. In today's episode, I dive into the emotional toll of trying to understand people who treat us in ways we'd never treat them. I unpack the frustration and confusion that comes from expecting loyalty, honesty, and emotional maturity from people who just aren't capable of giving it. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever asked yourself, “How could they do that to me?” The answer might just be: because they’re not you.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to or welcome back. I'm trying to care if you're new here. My name is Ashley and I'm really excited for today's episode. I really do gravitate more towards topics where I could just like talk about what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling, share my own experiences and help you guys move through whatever it is that you're struggling with.
0:20.1	Occasionally i'll do these
0:21.1	very short like motivational videos on ticot and the response i get from them really does help me
0:26.9	gauge what you guys need to hear and last week or the week before i did a video on you don't
0:33.3	understand how someone could do what they did to you because you would never do that and I just
0:38.5	kind of wanted to expand on that today so in today's episode we're going to be talking about how
0:43.3	you should stop expecting you from other people why you don't understand how someone could do what
0:47.5	they did to you and just letting people be who they are and not trying to justify their behavior
0:52.8	I know not everyone does this. This is probably a
0:56.5	people pleasing trait, but when someone mistreats me, I go looking for what I did wrong. I think a lot of
1:04.5	us think other people's behavior is a reflection of us. I try to justify the behavior because in my head, I'm like, well,

1:19.8	randomly cut off my friend. I wouldn't randomly talk badly about someone that I love. I wouldn't
1:26.1	randomly post something mean about someone on the
1:29.5	internet. So they must have a reason for why they're acting the way they are. There's no way
1:34.0	that they just woke up one day and decided to dislike me or to end our friendship. Like,
1:39.8	I must have done something wrong. I think a lot of us have been conditioned to believe when conflict
1:46.2	happens in order to resolve it and in order for us to feel comfort, we need to apologize and own
1:54.4	the situation even when it's not our situation to own. We need to apologize even when we didn't
1:59.6	do anything wrong. We've been taught that if we want
2:02.6	people to like us and if we want our friendships and relationships to continue, anytime things go
2:08.1	south, we have to be the ones to fix it. And if we don't, there is no resolution. Being able to
