徐翰林／譯

人與人之間的感情受到傷害時，總會心煩意亂。當別人向你抱怨他受到“羞辱”或被別人侮辱時，你該怎樣回應他呢？

心理學家杰克·坎菲爾德有一個很好的建議，即對抱怨者說：“如果我對你說，‘喬，你長綠頭發(fā)了。你會感到難過嗎？”

他的回答可能會是：“不。”

如果你再問他：“為什么呢？”

他的回答可能是這樣：“因為我知道自己不會長綠頭發(fā)?！?/p>

這樣你就可以說：“所以，我的話并沒有影響到你，最重要的是你對自己的看法?！?/p>

“任何時候，如果別人所說的關于你或你所做的事，讓你感到不安，那是因為在某種程度上，你對自己的這個方面也有些懷疑。”

（熊文摘自《最富哲理的美文》）

Hurt feelings between people can be very upsetting. How should you respond when someone comes to you complaining about being“put down”or insulted by someone else？

Psychologist Jack Canfield has a good suggestion. Says to the complainer, “Suppose I were to say, ‘Joe, you have green hair. Would that make you feel bad？ ”

Hell probably reply, “No.”

Ask, “Why not？”

His likely reply is“Because I know I dont have green hair.”

You say, “So what I say to you neednt affect how you feel. What you believe about yourself is more important.”

“Anytime you feel upset about what someone says about you , or something you do, it's because at some level you doubt yourself in that area.”
