Listen: I do not care what makes someone behave appallingly towards me. I don’t care if they’re having a bad day. I don’t care if they’re mentally ill. I don’t care if their favorite television show got cancelled while their shoes got set on fire in a room full of wasps. If you treat me poorly, you will be removed from my life. That’s it. I don’t care. What happened to make you this way may not be your fault, but you know who else’s fault it isn’t? Mine. I will never let myself be treated terribly for the comfort or contentment of others. Period.
