Emotional pain responsibility is typically not addressed in all aspects of our social lives. No one likes to believe that someone else’s tears are their fault. No one likes to think that they aren’t worth the pain they cause. Girls are often told that “He isn’t worth it” and guys soon start to think that they aren’t worth “it”, and the same goes vice versa. I’d like to propose the idea that maybe people are worth the pain sometimes. People are worth the pain they create if they will fix the cause of the pain when it’s communicated to them that what they’re doing is harmful. They are worth it if they take responsibility for what they put you through without passing the blame onto something/someone else. They are worth it if they make the change as soon as they possibly can. But, it is wrong to say someone isn’t worth it when you haven’t told them what’s wrong. You can also be at fault for someone “not being worth it” if you won’t talk things out with them, and if you won’t help them find a solution. Telling someone that you’re hurting, and that it’s their fault, without telling them why and how they can fix it, means the situation is now your fault, not theirs. Take emotional responsibility Miners, and have a great week!
