Here's what I mean by taking 100% responsibility. You, and only you, are responsible for your life. That means only you can respond in the matter of your life! It is your responses that give you how your life occurs for you. 100% of it.
So, look boldly at your thoughts and your choices. So far, you have made choices that have had you in conversations in which you feel powerless. That's not somebody else's fault. You choose who to speak with; you choose how you communicate with people, consciously or old-pain unconscious choices. You choose what you create in conversation, and you choose what you make it mean when someone tells you something. You choose how much space you create between something happening and your reaction to it. You choose who you hang out with, the questions you ask, and how you listen to the answers you get.
If you look boldly at all those thoughts and choices, and you accept the reality of what you are generating with those thoughts and choices, then you will be free to determine for yourself whether that works for you in living a life you love, or whether new, other choices and thoughts might work better.
It is all up to you. It is all about you. You can blame others all you want, but it's not going to get you what you want.
Do you understand?
