HURTFUL NEGATIVE BEHAVIORS #3 - INATTENTION

The next hurtful behavior I will discuss is INATTENTION.

INATTENTION is just not paying attention to another person. It is hurtful behavior if it's directed at a loved one, such as a husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend or other person close to us. Just ask yourself how you feel when someone does not pay attention to you. It hurts doesn't it? And when you do that to someone else it hurts them. It's an attack!

In order to avoid anger between ourselves and others we must stop attacking them and we need to learn how to respond in an appropriate fashion to those attacks they perpetrate upon us. We must learn about our own feelings and the feelings of others and how to manage our own personal behavior and how to manage our relationships in a better way.

You may ask, if they love us, why are they attacking us? The answer is that people learn attacking behavior or aggressiveness at an early age. For most of us, aggressive behavior is the way get what we want in life. It becomes a normal behavior for us when we have little understanding of our own feelings and the feelings of others. It may be that the other person, the one attacking us, just doesn't know any better. And that has nothing to do with formal education.

Physicians, attorneys, scientists, teachers, business executives, high school graduates, college graduates, PhD's...actually everyone has the potential to become angry when they sense they're being attacked. The angry reaction is an aggressive attack back at the attacker.

If you want to control your anger, you must control your aggression and learn new ways to behave toward your loved ones and those close to you.
