#823: What If...
You know what we all do? We look at people through the filter of what we want them to be. Your parents. Your kids. Your partner. Even yourself.
We’re so busy projecting our expectations, our fears, our own experiences onto everyone else that we never actually see them. And here’s the kicker—they can’t see you either. Not really. Not if you can’t see yourself.
This isn’t about getting people to understand you. It’s about getting curious—about them, about yourself—without the agenda of trying to fix or control the outcome.
In this episode, Tracy explores:
- Why learning who someone is matters more than trying to change them
- How your judgment of others is really about your own fear
- The difference between seeing someone and wanting validation from them
- Why shame keeps you separate even when you’re in a relationship
- What it means to feel your feelings without running from the anxiety
“We judge others out of fear.” ~ Tracy Crossley
