The one who hurts you the most is always yourself.

01

When I just graduated, I worked as an intern in a foreign trade company.

There is fierce competition in almost every company, and this company is no exception, looking friendly on the surface, but surging in private.

At that time, there was a designer in the company, Xiao Li, in his thirties, with hearty laughter, and we all liked her very much, while another designer, Xiao Wu, was tit-for-tat with her everywhere.

I have a good relationship with Xiao Li. I like her character very much, and her clothes are unique because of her ingenuity.

One day, she carefully designed a skirt, I looked at the design drawings: the skirt is colored light blue, big long swing, waist, button is a small embroidery, fresh and natural, if you put on the skirt and dance with the wind, it will certainly fly like a light butterfly.

I gave her advice: wouldn't it look better to change the collar into one word?

Xiao Li brightened his eyes and said, "Yes, one word is more appropriate. Thank you for your advice."

Then she arranged for the sample room to make three samples, one for the client, one for me and one for herself, so that she could make changes later.

As expected, customers like this dress very much, and the demand for orders is also very large, which has won a lot of profits for the company.

Who knows, after a while, rumors spread within the company that the dress designed by Xiao Li was plagiarized from other people's designs.

Whether in the drinking room or in the restaurant, colleagues can be heard whispering in twos and threes.

This dress is Xiao Li's own painstaking work, and of course I know it. I tentatively asked a colleague: where did you get this information?

The colleague looked around and whispered: Xiao Wu said, Xiao Wu said that the skirt was not Xiao Li's own original design.

Xiao Li asked me to have dinner after work. She still laughed heartily during the dinner as if nothing had happened.

I said: Xiao Li, my colleagues in the company have been talking a lot about your dress recently. Do you know?

She smiled disapprovingly: I know, just let them say yes, time will tell.

Looking at my puzzled eyes, Xiao Li went on to say: I also know who pushed me to the forefront of the wind and waves.

She set me up behind my back, which precisely shows her lack of self-confidence. I don't want to worry about it, and I don't want to clarify it. I'm tired enough and busy enough. I have to save this energy to design better works.

Others inadvertently use open guns and hidden arrows to catch her off guard, but she has her own armor and is bulletproof.

No matter how hard others try, they can't hurt her. this is because of her state of mind and the way she looks at the problem: she doesn't complain about other people's small patterns, doesn't feel sad about other people's mistakes, and doesn't stop her progress because of the obstacles set by others.

I have kept in touch with Xiao Li since I left the company. In the year and a half since I resigned, she has become the chief designer of the company.

I envy such a confident and powerful woman.

Too many people I have seen in my life live in self-torture, both professionally and emotionally.

Guess whether others speak ill of themselves behind their backs, or are sad because of what others have done.

Emotionally, they become nervous because of each other's changes, and eventually make themselves look hurt.

In fact, in my eyes, I am the only one who can hurt myself.

It's really strong when you don't care about other people's eyes, and you won't be able to live a good life because you leave a person.

If you want to avoid being hurt, you must learn to relax your mind and look at things from an optimistic point of view.

No matter when, learn to love yourself, liberate yourself, and don't hurt yourself.
