The article explores why we are more affected by criticisms from people we are close to, such as family members and partners. It highlights that our vulnerabilities grow with the emotional importance we place on these relationships, making us more sensitive to their words. Techniques are suggested to help identify the thoughts that allow such people to dominate our emotional state. Practical self-talk tools are provided to reset our mental boundaries and mitigate the impact of others' behaviors on our peace.
The more value you place on a relationship, the more vulnerable you are to that person's criticism.
When we let people live rent-free in our heads, we give them ongoing influence over our emotions.
