The Situation

"Her aunt spreads rumors about me to the rest of the family"

The Brutal Truth

This behavior shows a lack of respect and trust. If family members are spreading rumors about you, it's likely they have insecurities regarding their relationship and are projecting that onto you. This is a huge red flag.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might chase after clarification, seeking reassurance and trying to get on the aunt's good side, but this only affirms their insecurity. It’s misguided; you shouldn’t need external validation.

đź’­ Something to Reflect On

What does this situation reveal about the type of relationships you attract? Are they aligned with your worth?
