When people
act up and demonstrate inappropriate or rude behaviors, it is usually for a reason.
That reason is not what you may think. People don’t go around hurting others
and pushing people away because they want to. They do it because they are hurting.
People who are hurt themselves, hurt others.
When individuals
act up in a hurtful manner toward others to try and push them away is actually when they need love
and attention the most.
People often demonstrate negative behaviors toward others as a defense mechanism when they are hurting to keep others from trying to get close to them when they are emotionally hurting. When people do this, they are in need of someone reaching out to them even
though this is not what they project out to others.
Moreover,
when people act rude toward us, it is not a reflection on us. Again, it is
because they are personally going through something themselves.
So the next time that someone is negative or cranky toward you, realize that they are probably having a difficult time with someone that has nothing to do with you at all.
Try not to take it personal and reach out to them with love and kindness and watch them soften up - as this will deescalate their unloving demeanor.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
