Page 17 - SB-Tanya the Tattling Rattler
P. 17
In the story, the Teller of Tales let the other snakes know that tattling (telling on others to make yourself look good or to get others in trouble) will cause you much unhappiness. Your tattling behavior is caused by your Stinky Thinking and Not OK emotions. And just like with Tanya, your tattling can become such a habit that you cannot stop doing it, even when you know you should stop.
Others will start avoiding you because they know that you won’t be helpful or patient with them. When things don’t go "Your Way" or if someone does something not to your liking, you will probably try to get them in trouble. Your tattling behavior will poison your relationships with others.
Unfortunately, because you don’t understand that your tattling behavior is causing others to avoid you ... you will probably make yourself angry with them rather than change your thinking and behavior.
