How do people not consider what they are saying/typing and whether or not the way it comes off will upset, bother or be rude to another person? I get it, if you just don't give a hoot about them. But to people legit in your care circle? What??? I'll never understand. Then, for people like myself who would never speak up or call them on the tone or way it came across-the message it portrayed-because I AM actually considering THEIR feelings and how it would come across-POSSIBLY bother them or upset them. How does that work?!
How do I get the brunt of their harshness, feel pretty crappy and almost punched, and then I'm still shutting myself down to accommodate them?! As to not hurt them or upset them? WHAAAA?!! People so easily say, yeah, see, take care of yourself first and do you, because you don't want to deal with that. Get them before they get you mentality. Every man for himself. Don't be nice because no one is thinking about being nice to you. Whatever the thought process is. Sounds ridiculous when I try to mock it, because I just can't get my head in that mindset. That space.
If people do this-EVERYONE becomes a jerk and makes everyone feel like a jerk, then everyone's calling out everyone for being a jerk-it's a vicious cycle I don't want to be a part of. It's ugly. It's not cute. Wish people checked themselves more is all I'm saying. Especially when that's ALL I feel like I'm doing. For who?? Them?! thanks jerks.
Then they wonder why they get pushed away. Because you make me feel BAD.
