About this listen

Have you ever wondered why some people are sensitive to negative feedback, while others can remain unfazed and unbothered?


This episode unpacks why we take things personally, be it a casual remark, workplace feedback, or an offhand joke, and what factors lead us to getting easily triggered in such situations.


It also explores how deeply rooted insecurities, early experiences, and emotional habits like rumination exacerbate this habit, and what we can do to build self-assurance and confidence, so we can respond with equanimity instead of defensiveness.


Let us discuss how resilience and self-reliance are the key to building self possession - so that we can avoid taking things personally.
