"Exactly!! I would never treat ppl any kind of way and make an excuse for my behavior!! NOPE!! Won't do it!!" @highlight #hurtfeelings #dobetter

1/14 Edited to

... Read moreI used to find myself making excuses for people's bad behavior, thinking maybe they were just having a tough day or going through something difficult. It seemed like the kind and compassionate thing to do at the time, to offer them the benefit of the doubt. But over time, I realized that just because someone is struggling doesn’t justify treating others poorly. Reflecting on my own experiences, I've learned that everyone faces challenges, yet the way you treat others during those moments truly defines your character. I still remember moments when I was overwhelmed or stressed, but I made it a point never to take it out on people around me. Instead, I practiced patience, empathy, and communication. When someone hurts you and then tries to excuse their behavior by saying they had a bad day, it can feel invalidating. It’s important to recognize that while we can be understanding, accountability must come first. Holding oneself responsible for actions fosters healthier relationships and encourages personal growth. In my journey, I found that setting boundaries is crucial. You can be empathetic but also firm about what treatment is acceptable. Communicating openly about how certain behaviors affect you can open doors to better understanding rather than hiding behind excuses. This approach of not accepting mistreatment, even when others are struggling, promotes respect on all sides. It’s about being better—not just for others but also for ourselves. Learning to respond thoughtfully rather than react defensively helps create a more positive environment, whether at work, with friends, or family. Ultimately, embracing accountability doesn’t mean lacking compassion. Instead, it means recognizing that we all have struggles but none of those justify hurting someone else. I encourage anyone who faces this dilemma to reflect on their boundaries and remember that kindness paired with accountability leads to the healthiest outcomes.

University tip my professor would hate me for 🤫👀
🤫 Don’t tell these your professors: 🌟 If your professor primarily sticks to reading the slides, consider two options: either use that lecture time for self-study at home, ensuring you cover the material at your own pace, or utilize the time for other productive tasks. The choice is yours! 🤷‍♂️
