entitlement is something to watch for because a lot of abuse comes from people who simply feel entitled to hurt you, invade your space, break your boundaries, control your life, and so on. they operate from a completely different moral compass than the rest of us.
Y’all be mad at folks because they don’t forgive easily. Nobody has to accept a weak ass apology for the foul shit y’all be doing. Actions have consequences, and some bridges are just gonna have to stay BURNT!
People only try to humble you when you truly stand out. If you were average they’d simply ignore you. Their jealousy is nothing but a compliment in disguise.
Some people would rather never speak to you again than have that one uncomfortable conversation where they need to apologize. They would rather lose you than face the truth.
normalize calling out family members for their bs. too many adults act ridiculous because no one ever checked them “in the name of family.” but keeping peace by enabling bad behavior isn’t love. it’s dysfunction. call it out. set the boundary. say the hard thing. “family” is not a free pass to be disrespectful, manipulative, or cruel. if you wouldn’t tolerate it from a friend, don’t tolerate it from family.
