HOW TO
STOP
BEING
DEFENSIVE
Defensiveness is one way that we protect our egos. You might get defensive if
someone challenges a cherished belief, criticizes you for something, or poses
a threat to how you see yourself and the world.
The thing is, defensiveness isn't always healthy behavior for our relationships
at home or work: the shields go up, the brain shuts down, and not much gets in
or out. To be less defensive, you'll need to learn how to control your emotions,
take criticism, and also be more empathetic to others.
