I heard a therapist say, “Your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.” She explained by saying feel what you feel BUT you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
I have a colleague who never shows up to meetings. But we all just pretend like it’s normal 😂😭! We no longer add him to the invite list most times and if we do and he doesn’t show up we don’t bother chasing.
The gag is he is so knowledgeable and can’t be dispensed off easily
