Taking things personally when they are not about you is similar to being an emotional thief. The Emotional thief steals emotion from everywhere. They live on the power and strength of emotion. Good or bad they have an insatiable hunger for emotional energy. However their greatest hunger is negative energy. Like a ravenous beast they look for it everywhere.
A compliment that just might mean something bad is blood in the water for this beast. They jump to attack the person with “what do you mean” or what are you trying to say?” The person is immediately put on the defense creating more emotion. And as the person backpedals out of something so safe trying to figure out what has happened , what has gone so terribly wrong, the emotional thief moves in for the kill with comments of being offended and hurt.
The emotional thief wants things to be about them. When it’s not? They steal it and make it personal.
