Not taking ANYTHING personally

"Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves....
Don't take anything personally."
"The Four Agreements"

Women, especially, are very emotional and seem to take things men say and do very personally. When a man calls the next day, they think, "Wow - he must really like me," but when he doesn't call for a week, they think, "He must not like me very much..." In reality, the man might have been really busy with work and that was the first moment he had to call! Or maybe he's dealing with some things internally that he needs to work through. Who knows! But it's not always about US.

Many times we compliment others when we're having a good day ourselves. When we aren't having a good day, we can be "haters" and aren't in the mood to raise other people's spirits. It has nothing to do with THEM.

Think about it...
