One of the things I've noticed is that there is a huge discrepancy between people who can "bounce back" from someone behaving inappropriately to them when they are in a vulnerable position. People who are able to go "yeah fuck you too buddy, anyways onto the next thing" are way more able to handle things. People who end up dwelling on one person who did something bad years ago and are unable to let go of that pain end up closing themselves off for fear of exacerbating it.
Yeah but like I said, I’m just trying to do that. I’ve been like the former people you described.
In my case, I feel it’s just the wisdom of just being older. I also have the luck of having a stable life, a few friends and nice little family. I’ve never been more emotionally stable than today so of course it’s much easier not to care when people randomly betray me.
