Back up and think about the signals you’re sending. People may feel like they have to compete to keep up with you, not vice-versa.
You’re not happy about pulling the plug on a loved one’s endeavors, but he’ll eventually see you’re right. Hopefully your nerves won’t be fried by then.
You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t, so you might as well do what you believe is best. Personal integrity is your saving grace.
You can pick apart what’s wrong, but can you show what’s right? People are beginning to wonder if you even know. Change tactics before it’s too late.
Low self-esteem could derail you if you continue to subscribe to outdated beliefs. People hold you in high regard. It might be a good idea if you did the same.
Chalk everything up to a misunderstanding and move on. Explaining yourself only puts you back in the echo chamber.
