Are You Using Your Labels as a Shield to Get Away With Behavior?

Think to yourself for a brief moment what labels you have put on yourself, and ask yourself honestly if you are using any of these labels as a way to get away. And there is really no point in using our labels as a shield when, at the end of the day, we're not benefiting. Just because someone tells you they understand does not mean that we should abuse their ampathy or their kindness towards us. We're only hurting ourselves. That's the price we pay.
