This is such a good piece. We too often and too quickly categorize people as either supporting you and your dream or "haters". Where is the room for constructive criticism, for growth, for someone to shape and form you while you also shape and form them?

Great piece, thank you. The trainer ad at the end was odd, though.

This is pure gold. You managed to describe a very specific behavior of our brains in a very human & relatable way. I so appreciate this. Have taken a lot from it and will be sharing it with my therapy clients to enrich their healing journeys. 🙏

Wonderful piece. It really broadened my perspective and made me think about times when I centered myself too much or showed lack of compassion and empathy towards others.

A friend of mine once came up with a word t-shirt idea: “I’m a hypocrite too”. Aren’t we all!?!

Thanks for another thoughtful piece, Michell.
