Great question. My wife and I have had to grapple with this even up to our immediate families. Our opinions differ. Me personally, I just stop going around people who act like shitheads. I don’t feel the need to reach out and let them know that I won’t be coming around, nor to tell them why. Chances are, they probably should already know and have passed on several opportunities to grow and do/be better, so I’m not too into wasting time trying to spoon feed people the life lessons they’re choosing not to imbibe…better just to focus on the people who live well and make the world a better place by doing so. Honestly, the response to this question, if I were to answer it to my full satisfaction…it would probably be a 70 something page book :)

This resonates with me a lot, although I always end up feeling guilty for not reaching out, not explaining myself or why I left. I know I shouldn't, but there you have it.
100%. Beginning to come to terms with that. People can only learn things in their own time, and when they wanna learn them. It's not anyone else's job to do the work for them (not that that's possible anyway).
That'd be a fun read :D I know what you mean, everything pertaining to how we interact with one another is open to so much nuance, and interpretation. Thank you for stopping by! :)
I agree, I’ve had the same struggle you mention (phone won’t let me copy text from comment to quote), which kind of makes me think, perhaps that’s one of the lessons we are here to learn.
