The Situation

"He makes everything about himself when I'm upset"

The Brutal Truth

He lacks empathy and is only focused on his own feelings. Your distress is a threat to his self-image, so he shifts the attention back to himself, leaving you unsupported and unheard.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try to soothe his feelings and suppress their own needs, thinking this will keep the peace. This is unhealthy because it ignores their emotions and reinforces his toxic behavior.

đź’­ Something to Reflect On

If a friend described this situation to you, what would you advise her to do to prioritize her feelings and needs?

✨ What To Do Next

Every situation has nuance. What you see here is a general pattern, but your specific circumstances matter.
