It's less about giving the benefit of the doubt or acknowledging ppl make mistakes sometimes. It's more about not wanting to believe we're being played/taken advantage of/disrespected.
Because then we would be confronted with... what are we going to do about it?
Convinced we've been conditioned to overlook what someone does and focus on what comes out of their mouth
... and when what comes out of their mouth isnt what we want to hear we find reasons to overlook that as well.
Speak your truth. Life is too short to keep withholding yourself. Say how you really feel, kindly. Say what you really mean, kindly. Holding back is only hurting you & others around you, be real but be kind.
