The obsession I have with the idea of this is unhealthy.

[imaginedsoldier]

Y’all really interpreted “no one is entitled to your presence or your time” to mean “treat the people around you like video game NPCs and explain nothing.”

Y’all keep doing this thing where you push good advice to a place where it becomes mean and devoid of empathy; there is really a difference between self-care and total self-interest.
