Owning my own emotions, desires and boundaries as much as I can and communicating openly about them so that I won't project them on other people, make them responsible and burden them in that way.
I'm not saying I succeeded, neither am I very sure it has improved my life (yet). It's hard when you're pretty much the only one doing it, in fact it can make it so that you seem very demanding for stating your desires openly and very un-flexible for stating your boundaries openly, but that is just an illusion when you 're the only one being honest about it. I think a lot of people don't own or take responsibility for their own emotions, in fact they are not even very aware of them and are therefore projecting a lot unto the world around them.
I hope when taking responsibility for our own emotions is practiced by more people, we will at some point reach a critical mass which will tip the world consciousness over to more openness. That would be very satisfying for everyone to have open conversations without projections flying around.
