When attempting to understand

[Jitendra Hydonus]

When attempting to understand some people…

Stop Trying to Make Sense of What Doesn't Make Sense
One of the most exhausting things you can do is waste your time trying to make sense out of a situation that doesn't make sense.
We spend so much energy searching for logic in the behavior of people who are not being led by logic.
They're being led by insecurity.
They're being led by fear.
They're being led by paranoia.
Some people are so consumed by their insecurities that they are unable to let love, reason, or common sense guide their decisions.
Instead, they create enemies that don't exist.
They manufacture threats that aren't there.
They become suspicious of loyalty.
Question genuine intentions.
And interpret kindness as manipulation.
The problem is that when a person's fears become louder than reality, facts no longer matter.
No amount of explaining will satisfy them.
No amount of reassurance will calm them.
Because you are not fighting logic.
You are fighting an insecurity that has convinced them that danger exists where none is present.
Stop trying to solve a puzzle that was never built with reason.
Sometimes the closure you're looking for is accepting that not every behavior is rational.
Some people aren't responding to who you are.
They're responding to the battles taking place inside themselves.
