I am very vulnerable to the words of others who try to influence me.
I am weak to criticism or praise from others and tend to be very sensitive.
At times like that, I tell myself something.
'Oh, I have a hard time with words like this.'
It's about recognizing my dark side.
I'm not asking you to blame me.
Let the other person's problems and mistakes be, and hold a ceremony for yourself for a moment.
--- From "I have a hard time hearing things like this"

There are people who habitually say, “I feel so wronged” when faced with frequent interpersonal problems.
It's like you always think you're the only one who's losing out.
What they have in common is that they feel a sense of injustice by connecting things in their own way.
The irony is that wallowing in feelings of resentment becomes an easy and convenient way to deal with conflicts with others.
--- From "If you feel wronged, you lose"

The reason similar words sound different is because the speakers have different levels of experience.
Through that experience, the things that person thought and worried about, and their own enlightenment and insight, come across as moving.
If you want to know what I am saying and living by, just think about what I am doing and living by.
What I mean is that it's all a result of them.

The important thing is that my position must come first.
The other party's position comes next.
Just knowing that the other person's position 'exists' makes you a great person.
There are many situations in the world where it is difficult to even recognize that the other person has a different position.
Not stepping outside the boundaries of that position is how I protect myself and my relationship.
--- From "Only to the extent that the other party 'exists'"

The male protagonist in the drama "Search: WWW" confesses his feelings to the female protagonist, who is backing away before the relationship even begins.
(…) I would like to call it the best confession scene.
By saying, “I am the master of my passion” instead of “You are the master of my passion.”
People with high self-esteem do not belittle the emotions they like or the feelings they feel.
Just because you like someone doesn't make you weak.
You like and love the other person, but you don't forget that you are the subject.

--- From "Why I'm Not Afraid of Rejection: "I Like You"

As we grow older, our mental armor becomes thicker and we become better at hiding our true feelings within it.
As we move from our teens to our twenties and then to our thirties, we only develop the skills to hide our true feelings.
I believe that only then can I be loved by my lover and become a well-mannered child to my parents.
They think that this way they will avoid being ostracized by their friends, be recognized at work, and be loved by their superiors.
