They might think that you get triggered and that is them projecting and they can do so and try to avoid the inner work then but ultimately, they would be the one suffering with distress with them being “sensitive” more than what someone doing to others might feel. and so, it’s actually a fortunate thing if you are forced to be humbled. It’s might seem bad to your “false ego” but objectively speaking, you are forced to grow there. and so, one should be truly grateful for this.
