That's really the key to breaking the pattern of habitual thought. If you're habitually on the defensive, you'll attract plenty of people you feel defensive around!
To break this pattern, THEY don't have to do anything. YOU have all the power in the world to break the pattern, in one moment. All you have to do is recognize your habitual reaction, acknowledge it, let it go, and choose a thought that works better.
For instance, I notice you (European38) use the phrase, "I can't" often. That sounds like a habitual thought for you, and it might be a really good place to start in acknowledging, letting go, and creating a new thought that is inspiring rather than limiting. It doesn't have to be a big transformational thought; it can be just a tiny change in the direction of thought that makes you feel good when you think it.
