I feel bad for making a person feel bad for making me feel bad?

Sometimes in a conversation with someone, they'll say something to make me feel bad and then I'll feel bad because I think they probably feel bad for making me feel bad and I don't want them to feel bad.

    Yes, it's normal--and probably comes from poor self image or lack of self respect.

    While you have no rational reason to feel the way you do, it's commonplace and there is nothing wrong with you.

    What you must come to terms with is that, they SHOULD feel bad for making you feel bad, and you don't have to feel bad about that in return. They don't have enough forethought to think about the consequences of their actions, so hopefully them feeling bad for acting that way will help them to act nicer in the future.

    I have been there too, I can almost assure you that you simply think too much, spend less time thinking more time doing fun stuff. Let me know if it works out for you. Believe me, the more you ignore useless inner thoughts, the more you tell your brain that they are not necessary and your brain will simply put them in the recycle bin for you.

    Trust me, i have learned this from own experience, over and over again.

    Good luck.

    Become more resilient. Then, you won't feel bad, which means that they won't feel bad for making you feel bad, due to the fact that you wouldn't have felt bad in the first place. Problem solved, lol.
