I take full responsibility when I am wrong. But I will not apologize for how I react when you humiliate, disrespect, and deliberately provoke me. You don't get to do both. There's a tactic that doesn't get talked about enough. They push. They poke. They chip away at your dignity with little digs, public embarrassments, and deliberate provocations — and then the moment you respond, suddenly you're the problem. Suddenly you're "too emotional.Suddenly your reaction becomes the entire story and everything they did to trigger it conveniently disappears. That's not an accident. That's a strategy. Reactive abuse is real. And it works because good people feel guilty for finally snapping after being endlessly patient. They count on your conscience. They count on you apologizing for breaking when they spent weeks trying to break you. Your response was never the issue. The behavior that caused it was.
To encourage means “to impart courage, to make fearless, to make brave.” If we encourage one another daily and stand together like the defensive line on a football team, we will stand victoriously against the enemy’s deceit and discouragement. That’s a powerful promise.
People will do you so dirty and have the nerve to question why you're not interested in being around them anymore. You don't provide me any peace, i can't trust you, i can't have my guard down around you, Like why would i want to keep you around???
Never take for granted someone who consistently makes the effort to stay in touch. The truth is, most people don’t actually care that much about you. So when someone remembers to text, call, or check in, give them your full attention and appreciation. Genuine care is rare.

People won’t hesitate to pick on you, attack and slander you in public but play the victim card as soon as you clarify or defend yourself. So they’re allowed to do and say what they want about you, but you’re not allowed to respond? They get defensive when their true colours are exposed.
