    Uhh, ok hmm…so I learned in life if everyone you see is an asshole, you’re the asshole.

    Think about it this way: there are countless good people in your life but as a society we get taught to get fixated on the worst to complain about. Maybe it’s more entertaining. Maybe we sync to it cuz maybe we have similar features in ourselves we don’t like … which ever the reason it’s personal why we do this. But in doing so It’s easy to discount the good people by ignoring them and what they do. We notice every mistake and bad person out there.

    And how do you think that makes good people around you feel?

    Well they stop coming around. They get drained from being ignored. They put up boundaries where they don’t want to be around assholes fixated on the negative and don’t spend their time on assholes.

    And that’s how we become assholes telling on ourselves by admitting everyone is assholes.

    It’s the shoe smells like shit every where you go analogy.

      Don’t come here trying to gaslight me. 50% of our country are hateful bigots, it’s pretty hard to avoid running into at least one every day.

            That’s the exact opposite of what you’re claiming in your first post. Now look who’s gaslighting. And you claim you were the victim of gaslighting. Yep, called it. you are the asshole.
