Valuing Yourself

What you believe about yourself and about others will influence the way you view a situation. Sometimes people react in similar ways, but no one thinks exactly like you do. Consider the following example.

Imagine that you were the friend who was running late. Which thoughts would have crossed your mind? Choose all that apply:

• My friend was selfish to pick a restaurant so far away.
• It is a far drive, but it will be worth it to see him.
• I may be a bit late on purpose to show him it was a dumb idea.
• I will suggest that next time we meet somewhere closer.
• I need to set an alarm to remind me to get there on time.
• Next time he plans something, I am just going to ignore his texts.
• None of these.
