How becoming secure is changing my interactions

I have had a couple of run ins with people this week where it is apparent that something is going on with them…yesterday I had a guy who tried to pull a road rage incident on me, he kept moving in front of me with his hazards on and pushed very hard on his breaks.  I did not engage….I simply tried to get to a place where I could be away from this guy.  I also had a run in with someone very rude in a grocery store….again, I did not engage…I simply continued with my shopping.  My old way of handling these incidents would have been to take them personally…take on their anger or prove that they are wrong by engaging back.  Having worked on my own attachment wounding and poor boundaries….I can now make better choices and decide what course of action I want to take.  Put another way…I feel I am taking my power back through deciding for myself and not by being at the whim of fear or anger.  I trust that I have my back in these moments and can walk away when I see that engaging is fruitless or will simply result in a poor outcome.  I want to thank @introvert alexandra mrob for helping me to get to this space.  I come home now more at peace, less tense and better able to focus on what I need to do to take care of myself. 🙂
