Sometimes we hurt each other feelings, and if you're the sensitive type, that might happen to you more often than to others. We have expectations for one another, and when people don't live up to those expectations, we get hurt. It happens.
Yet, we often don't want that hurt to get in the way of a good and/or important relationship. Instead, we want to find ways to move beyond the hurt to make things better. This is often a lot easier to do with relationships that are well tended, relationships that include many varying points of connection, but harder to do with relationships that are more singly focused as there isn't as much foundation to draw upon.
The old saying, time heals all wounds, has some truth in this matter. Taking a vacation from a hurtful matter does shed light on the situation. Also simply taking it easy and following good etiquette can help by using your pleases and thank you's, giving small gifts, kindness, listening, and being present in pleasing ways. Obviously when you're moving beyond hurt, you want to stay clear of conflicting, heated topics, words, and actions--keep it simple, easy, and peaceful. Find common ground.
It's important to move beyond hurt. It's good for your health and happiness. And the New Year is a good time to move in that direction.
