Over Apologizing

I don't feel like I have to put up with people. A lot of people (especially women, who conditioned to feel bad about saying no) are so scared of being seen as mean or selfish that they tolerate even the most obvious manipulation. The profuse apologies are often just a way to make people feel guilty. Fuck that shit.

I never said it was my responsibility. I was just trying to figure out why a person would do such a thing.

Very wise words. We have a hard enough time trying to figure out why we do the fucked up things we do.

I got that but... I can't help being part cat. We're curious. I like to know what makes people tick.
