Midrand people instead of taking to the streets to protest against the water crisis,they are busy queuing at the gyms to take a shower.A defeated middle class.
Sad truth! People don't just accidentally treat you like you're disposable. Discarding someone coldly, with no communication, no empathy, or repair, is a conscious behavior. They knew exactly what they were doing.
If someone genuinely cares about you, they would be devastated to know that they have genuinely hurt you. People make mistakes, but when you express your hurt and they respond by gaslighting, deflecting, lying, or manipulating, that’s not love; that’s ego. They’re more concerned about being criticized, judged, or appearing flawed. You challenged their self-perception, so they react defensively.
