Many of us have dealt with thatannoying neighborwho will inconsiderately blast music at the oddest hours.
A woman was in thissituationwith a man living a few houses away.
The authors actions pleased the entire neighborhood but left the insensitive homeowner distressed.
According to clinical psychologistDr.
Natalie Datillo, physical and emotional childhood trauma could be one factor.
Some people develop trauma-related insecurities, and their insensitive actions may be their way of masking them.
A person can also be intentionally or unintentionally inconsiderate.
TheBerkeley Well-Being Institutedescribes the former as someone who knows their behavior disregards another persons but does it anyway.
Meanwhile, the latter is when people act thoughtlessly without realizing how their ways affect others.
In this story, the neighbor might understand how hisloud music annoyseveryone, but he might refuse to care.
However, he may also be oblivious and too naive to comprehend this.
Its a lose-lose situation for everyone involved.
Thats why experts always advise taking the high road.As Jambazian reminds us, we only have control of ourselves.
She adds that dealing with inconsiderate people must be about maintaining well-being and encouraging positive change.
Do not react instead respond, Jambazian said.
Credit goes to the author for not retaliating in a way that may have only caused a bigger problem.
