"Don't judge people. You never know what kind of battles they are fighting." I think this is a wonderful quote that I need to remember. I was raised with guilt...I tend to feel the blame for everything so when a co-worker looks at me funny or a friend hasn't talked to me in awhile, I feel guilt and wonder what I did because obviously I made them grouchy. Most of the time this is just in my head and it is something else going on that is causing their mood or absence. A few years ago I was having trouble with a co-worker because she was always grumpy and never wanted to talk much. Later I found out that she had a condition that caused her chronic pain..so it wasn't me at all. Another reminder that I am not the center of the universe....but don't tell my family!
