I don’t blame myself for your feelings about me, nor can I take credit. If you like me, I appreciate it. If you hate me, I accept it. In neither case do I blame/credit myself for how you feel because your feelings are *yours*. Perhaps your feelings about me are right, perhaps they are wrong. But they are yours. You choose how you feel about me and you choose what to do about it.
The same goes for me. I choose how I feel about you and I choose what to do about it.
Some will respond “I don’t choose my feelings”. Perhaps not, at least right now. But choosing your feelings is a skill. As humans we have the ability to be aware of our feelings. From there we can increase our skill (learning, understanding, creativity etc.) until we develop the ability to choose our feelings.
